Dell USB Slim DVD±RW drive - DW316 keeps failing

We have issues with our Dell USB Slim DVD±RW drive - DW316 drives on all of our Latitude models (5470/5580/5590/5500) where the drive is not recognizable and sometimes throws an error saying, "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38).  The driver could not be loaded because a previous version of the driver is still in memory."  However, most of the time there is NO error; just that the drive is not recognized.  We've installed/reinstalled USB drivers for the appropriate models, but the problem keeps happening.  Anyone else experiencing this?
