  • Cannot open the DVD drive to insert a CD or DVD

    My DVD player won't open and a small rectangular orange light flashes when I press the Open button. I checked and the system says that the drive is functional. Anyone has any ideas how to fix?

  • Cannot install the printer driver - error of access denied

    I have two laptops Inspiron 1545 new running Windows 7 64-bit edition that expose that same question.  I'm trying to get an Epson color Stylus 760 working with them via a USB connection.

    When I join the starting the unit is correctly recognized, but the Epson driver does not install correctly.  If I run Windows Update, the Epson driver is listed as an optional update.  If I select and run the update, it fails with 80070005 error.

    If I go into Device Manager, the printer is listed as a printer USB that does not run as properly as there is no driver.  If I choose "put updated pilot" from the Device Manager, it downloads successfully the driver (even such as mentioned in Windows Update) and when you try to install the driver it comes back with an error "access denied."

    As mentioned previously in this case with two laptops.  In both cases I was logged under an administrator account, but not "the" administrator account.  I have enabled the administrator account and tried to install it through this, but it made no difference.  I tried also to remove and reinstall the device without success.

    The Windows 7 compatibility site said that the printer is compatible with Windows 7 64 - bit edition.

    Hi Shawn,

    In my view, that there is a driver 64 bit Windows 7 according to the guidelines of this site:
    The Epson Stylus Color 760 is a 'built in the Windows 7 driver.
    Nevertheless, I will try your suggestion if Alan does not work.
    Kind regards

  • recover my system. used to install Windows Vista. get the message cannot open the file E:\Sources\Install.wim. Also the code error 0 x 80070002

    So all this started because I tried to clean my computer to give to a friend. I tried refomatting the hard drive, but something was wrong here. After that, when I turn on the computer I get a black screen with message Bootmgr missing. I read a little inside and saw that I could download a Windows Vista recovery disk because my computer did not come with one.
    After that I downloaded and burned the ISO image to a CD, things started looking better. I got to the screen when you select the language and keyboard. Then install windows screen. My options there were 'Install now' and 'repair your computer '. When I try to install, I put in my product key that seems fine. The next message I get is "Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\Install.wim. The file does not exist. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. "Error code: 0 x 80070002.

    This isn't an installation disc. It's a record of startup repair!
    You use the repair disk option, not Install.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11; Acer is in some models Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • "Cannot open the file due to a header error"

    I got a sequence already edited, I have windows 8, updated to the latest version (still no 8.1) and after the update, the videos that I had edited are offline and when trying to connect to display the error message "cannot open the file due to an error header. What could be? the video is already published, but is now in offline mode.  Help, please.

    If you can read the files in a media player, you may be able to correct them. Avidemux can open and save again without re-encoding. If there is just a bad game, you can also cut with avidemux. If this does not work, you can try to re - encode.

  • Cannot open the project file with write access.

    I saw that this problem has been reported before, but have yet to find a solution.

    I have my project file in an external hard drive.  When I plug the hard drive to another computer and want to save it, I get this message:

    "Cannot open the project file with write access.  The file may be locked, or you don't have permission to write to this location.  Select Save as... »

    I don't want to register as because other projects refer to this file and also my file is still going to be ruined.

    FYI two computers use Windows 7.

    All solutions?

    Right-click on the folder in Question and select Properties. Select tab security make sure you that you then add everyone to the list of users. Do you this by selecting edit and then add. Type in all members of the section of the object, and click ok. Then select all the user and check full control. Press Apply and we'll adjust the permissions for the folder and subfolders and files.

  • Cannot open any office files or icons, the Panel even not. Help!

    Hello
    I really need help desperately. I can't open any office files or icons. I restored to the point the closest that I can, but no difference. Cannot open the Panel even from the Start button. My compuetr crashes every time I double-click or right-click on the icon 'My Computer' or 'My Documents '.
    My restore CD that was shipped with the Toshiba Satellite 1800 does not work either. Help, please! I'm really desperate!
    Jess

    What do you think average with "I tried with the restore CD but nothing '? Have you tried to completely format your HARD drive? I had a similar problem, but in my case it was because of the transplant of BONE... so I reinstalled the system from the beginning and it was ok.
    If you can not solve this problem with the cd supplied by the factory... I think it might be a hardware problem, probably due to the HARD drive. Your HARD drive makes strange noises, like "Click - Clack"?
