Code 19 on Windows 7 SP1 ( CD/DVD Drives)

"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) "
If you are looking for a solution for the above issue, head straight to:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/en-us

If you have multiple disc authoring apps installed (not good), one of them might be responsible for this issue.
