When you use Control Panel / Tape Devices and press Add on the Driver tab, nothing happens?


I suspect that the registry entries used by the Install Driver dialog are missing or corrupt.


To resolve this problem, copy and paste the following to a tape.reg file. Double-click the tape.reg file to Merge it into your registry:

REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass\{6D807884-7D21-11CF-801C-08002BE10318}] @="Tape drives" "Class"="TapeDrive" "Icon"="1610" "Installer32"="SysSetup.Dll,TapeClassInstaller" "LegacyInfOption"="TAPE"

NOTE: You DO NOT have to restart your computer.
