  First of all, my laptop computer became very slow loading vista after formula 1 week to buy it.

  Thirdly, after the formula of the week 3 buy the computer also dvd - cd player has the same problem, like the sound and when you open my computer that NO cd\dvd drive icon and when I put a cd or dvd, it does not work or run and it happens all the time, even if the laptop restarts.

  Since then im able to watch movies or work.

  I'm lost and I don't know what to do!
  (Sorry for my bad English, but I hope you understand the problems)

  Hey Osama

  I think I can help you. The questions that appear on your laptop are not serious and the only one associated with software or registry.

  Regarding your noise problem:
  Please check this Microsoft document
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929685/en-us
  or
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/937077/

  the MS update must be downloaded and installed ;)

  Regarding the missing CD/DVD drive;
  I think you should try to remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. Then the operating system should recognize the STRANGE again.
  Secondly you should access the registry editor and should remove the upper filter and bring back the key filter
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

• Firefox 3 crashing - have to use FF3 because of the ALPS scroll does not work in anything else

  Had to stay with FF3, as everytime I try again updated the version of the ALPS scrolling touchpad does not work on my Acer 5738Z. I've made sure the drivers are all to date and everything else is in order but no luck. Have tried different methods posted on the forums, but still no luck.

  Now, all of a sudden, FF3 now crashes every 10 minutes or more.

  I prefer FF, but this disadvantage is too and I'm going to need IE for now, until someone can tell me a solution. Here are a few crash IDs Ive seen lately.

• HTML5 audio does not work for mp3s.

  I can't get the tag < audio > work with mp3s on my system (FF 24, Win 7 x 64). I tried wav files, those that work well. But whenever I try to play mp3 files, the html5 player flashes just for a few milliseconds and then disappears. So, is there a limitation of bitrate (or any other limitation) for html5 audio tag on mp3s?
  Here's a code example and one of the mp3 files I am using - http://dindo.wz.cz/jukebox.html .

  You can try if you can move by installing the 'WindowsMedia Feature Pack"by testing if it works using the aurora of firefox version, because firefox 26 will DShow as another method to decode mp3 files.

• Audio does not work after an update in Windows 8

  I use a laptop HP Folio 9470 m... Last week some update was installed to win 8 and after that my audio is not working properly. Every time when I need to play a song or a movie, or watch something on the Internet, I need first logout, then after logging in first, I need to open the drive. Other wise the audio does not work... Whenever I check to test the speakers, it shows its used by another application, but there is no application by using the audio device. I checked all the drivers, and everything is right in there... But I don't understand that either the app using the audio device in the background... I even reconfigured my system, suspecting it was a virus. But after installing the operating system first two days, that it worked fine, and then a few updates got installed, now return to the box starting... I can see the updates which has installed, but cannot identify the one which may cause this disorder...

  One, any help is deeply appreciated.

  Thanks in advance...

  AG.

  07/11/14 - the problem is caused by the updates of security KB2964736 and KB2965788, which has turned off the sound from the speakers and output microphone of my VAIO laptop, as well as all the features in iTunes.

  I was able to determine that, because now, I manually install updates after the last problems caused by automatic updates. Having discovered this problem, I did a system restore to before the updates to get my sound back, then I manually created a restore point individual for each update before installing. It was a frustrating and time-consuming process, but I could locate the defective updates that I've now hidden so that they will not download on my laptop.

  07/12/14 as a result of writing the earlier yesterday, all sounds had again been disabled when I started my laptop this morning. I did another system restore before installing updates security yesterday (KB2965788, KB2939576, KB2964736, KB2957189) AND my sound back. I've now updated iTunes with the latest version in the hope that this stops the residual fault caused by security updates and I will keep you informed.

• I have a computer running VISTA. The CD-ROM/DVD-rom does not work and can not read the CD of the program that I placed in it.

  It won't read a DVD.  It will not read ANY CD or DVD.  I tried 12 different CD/DVD.  This isn't an upgrade to Vista; the computer came "made for Vista" with Vista installed on it.  I had added Nero.  I removed Nero.  I did all the updates. I have not released the driver and reinstalled.  He claims to have the latest driver software, but it won't work.  The computer can see the CD/DVD, but he calls it a 'CDROM '.  It is not the case.  It is a DVD/Cd-RW with Labelflash.

  I did everything suggested that past discussions.  I ran FIXIT program that claims that the drive works properly.  It is not the case.

  I tried to get various programs to recognize.  They cannot see the installed media.

  I uninstalled iTunes.

  Please do not give me the answer of cut-and - paste stock; It does not work.

  Please tell me what to do to make Vista see the media inserted in the CD/DVD-RW drive.

  Thank you.

  Then go to right click on UNINSTALL - - CD/DVD - Device Manager CHECK THE DRIVERS to REMOVE and
  continue.

  Reset.

  Occasionally, install an upgrade or a re - install will fix the problem and of course the drive or other hardware issues
  could be at stake.

  =====================================

  Here's the answer, just in case there is something you don't have, and I start up and down.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable
  or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  I am running Vista Home Premium on a laptop Compaq Presario F700. It is listed in the list of computers of readers, it is listed in Device Manager. The lites drive that the computer boots so I know it is detected. When you run itunes or media player the player does not open. When I push the drive button it will not open. It opens with a paperclip in the exit hole. It cannot read a CD or a DVD. None of the media players even recognize there is a disc in the drive. I tried to run fixit, but it would not drive either. I tried restoring from a previous backup, without change.

• DVD player does not work error code 36 please help

  I have a computer toshiba laptop satellite my dvd rom is not working, it does not give me the error code 36

  Hello

  In addition to the BIOS settings the player himself could have problems.

  -------------

  This instrument requires a PCI interrupt but is configured for an ISA interrupt (or vice versa).
  Please use the computer's system setup program to reconfigure the interrupt for this device.
  (Code 36)

  Interrupt request (IRQ) translation failed.

  Try to use the BIOS Setup tool to change the settings for IRQ reservations (if such options exist). The BIOS can have options to reserve certain IRQS for interconnection of peripheral components (PCI) or ISA devices. For more information about changing the BIOS settings, see the documentation for the hardware.

  On the tab General properties of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

• My DVD player does not work and all the information I can find is "this device does not work correctly.

  Hi, I have Windows Vista and I use a computer laptop Dell studio. When I insert a disc into my CD/DVD drive, the drive spins and it looks like it is about to start and makes the same noise start several times and then just stops. My computer does not record that there is a disc there. If I double click on the DVD drive in 'My computer' it ejects my disc and says "insert the disc in drive E".

  I went on the 'repair' Microsoft online scanner and it told me that there is a problem, but he can fix it. In Device Manager, under CD/DVD-ROM readers I have Optiarc DVD +-RW AD - 7640S. Under device status - general - properties, it says "this device does not work correctly. He also says that I have the updated driver.

  I even uninstalled the driver as a last resort and then restarted my computer. It reinstalled the driver for me, but there was no change. Please help me!
