I clicked properties on device manager can anyone tell me what to do for code 39 ("Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing.")

if you keep pressing the burn button it will finally after about 3 attempts burn the cd for you. I have this every time I burn one too.its a media player 11 bug that microsoft has not made a patch for yet.
Or if you like revert back to media player 10 and it will stop.

You've got a corrupt driver (this is the little program that tells the drive how to work). Where you were before, in device manager, right-click the CD drive & select "update driver". If by any chance this doesn't work, make a note of the drive manufacturer and details, then search their website for a downloadable driver to suit.

Chances are it is a software issue. Roxio or other software you might be using can make it so bad that you can't even use your cd player. If you send it back to the manufacture (under your warranty) they will just uninstall Windows and delete all the crap you have on your hard drive. Then they will reinstall Windows and everything will work. If you do this make sure you back up your drives because you will lose everything, cookies, favorites, pictures, mp3 files, etc. It also might be as easy as you are using blank cd's your computer doesn't like. Try a different brand such as Verbatim, a known quality product.

You'll need to go to the DVD manufacturer's site and download a driver from the extra info you have provided.
Go to Control Panel
Open Sounds and Audio Devices
Select Hardware
Locate your DVD Player (highlight it)
Select Properties
Select Driver
