Aspire M5-481PT-CD/DVD turn briefly but are not recognized

I insert discs, the green light flashes for a few seconds, the disc spins, but then the disc never appears to be recognized. When I click on the DVD drive under 'devices and readers' a message pop - up leads me to "Please insert a disk into drive D:." I tried other discs and it never works on a regular basis. Sometimes a disk will be read correctly and it doesn't seem to be any action that causes a correct reading.

  • I have the most current flash player installed, but are not recognized by some software

    Hi all

    I am running windows 8.1, Explorer 11 and flash player 17.0.0.etc on my Samsung laptop, but for some reason any software tells me that I have to upgrade to a version of flash player, even if I was able to work in these programs before on this laptop.

    I guess that also some multimedia features on some Web sites do not work the need because of this problem. The controls on the adobe site indicate that flash player should work well. Shockwave flash object is enabled and ActiveX filtering is disabled (I also tried turning, did not make a difference). I tried to uninstall Flash player in order to do a clean install of the latest version, following the instructions on the adobe Web site, but it's interesting when I tried to reinstall, I tried (by chance?) reinstalling a version update of internet explore and received a message that I was already running the latest version. But then when I tested if flash player worked, there...

    Any help is appreciated as I currently can not continue my work.

    Thank you

    Have you been in touch with the author and the website management? The shot of the guest that you provided looks like something produced by them, no Flash and maybe they're inaccurate calculation of values.

  • Defender is turned off, but does not give me access to it 2 turn on power

    original title: windows Defender

    These days have a lot of problems with my laptop.  Problems with starting.  I need to access windows defender to modify startup programs.  It is said that Defender is turned off, but does not give me access to it 2 turn it on.  In addition, different problems with different users and accounts by the office put in place, it looks like all my users are running different versions of windows, so I don't know where to start with all the problems.  Security sounded like a good place 2 start, so I guess I'll start by Defender problems.  (I have recently downloaded the free security essentials, safety signs so all green lights).

  • Online contacts but are not

    I have a problem with Skype contacts being shown as online while they were not on the days. I use 4.2.0.187 for many years and never had a single problem... Now I have to update to 6.18.0.106 and now Skype is a mess! never disappoint you Microsoft, never.

    First of all, you killed msn and now you kill Skype. Wonder that things go the way reverse for microsoft these days?

    I tried a few things like change my status and reconsignation Skype, even quit and restart, but nothing suits him. My desktop or laptop have this same problem.

  • HDD and dvd are not recognized in the configuration menu, what could be the problem?

    The hard drive and dvd drive are not recognized on the configuration menu for my desktop Pavilion a4316f.  What is a controller failure?  A PCI controller can be used to replace the motherboard controller?

    dhobs,

    Anguish, that the suffering of the faulty motherboard has been aggravated by your actions. Why you decided to perform a restore (which re - formate the disk, erase all your data files (documents, photos, videos to misic,) is really amazing.)

    You had a viable BONE, work and the data store. You he clobbered with recovery. As explained, the 'tattoo' reads the embedded hardware configuration and will stop at the resumption of treatment if it detects a change.

    Only temporary help I can offer is to open the computer case and install a small 12v on the NVidia chip fan. IF the chip is not 100% burned, you can earn low enough time to reinstall the operating system and then add the map.

    You need Adobe raw camera 8.7 version. Unfortunately your software is earlier than the camera. ACR 8.7 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG Converter to convert your raw files to the universal Raw format files and Adobe will be open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the software of the camera factory)

    Download Windows (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7

    Download Mac (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7

    You can convert an entire folder of images raw with a single click. See this quick video tutorial:
