• Cannot get my Acer X223W monitor widescreen (DVI + HDMI with adapter Apple) to show anything.

  Separated from this thread.

  Yes two years late.

  I went to the Acer site to try to find the updated drivers for my Acer x223w LCD monitor, but the only driver, they offered was for the 32-bit version of windows.  Where did you get the 64 bit version.

  I'm having a similar problem where the display does not indicate a signal from a DVI - D port on my motherboard (Asus Z97 Pro (wifi) with a processor of 4790 K with HD 4600 video intel).  However, it will be a 'Digital' signal when I connect it with the same cable to a passive adapter plugged into the display port.

  So I was looking for a solution to this strange cannot read a DVI - D signal for some reason any.  And Yes, all pilots are supposed to be updated.

  Hello

  Please contact Microsoft Community. I will surely help you this question.

  This problem could occur due to corrupted drivers.

  I suggest you to check with the Acer support, if they have a driver updated 64-bit for Windows 8.

• Qosmio F20 cannot read CD copy

  I need help with this problem > why this CD-ROM on Qosmio F20-138 cannot read any CD copy? Orginal CD is readable.
  Is this the CD or driver problem?

  This ability of problem because Windows XP default CD burning
  Try disabling default CD Burning capability
  If you have a good CD burning software, you can turn off the CD burning feature. There are two ways to do this:

  REGISTER METHOD:
  In regedit, go to [ntVersion ntVersion\Policies\Explorer] and look for the key "NoCDBurning". Maybe you find there if this is your first time. In this case, create a new DWORD "NoCDBurning" key and set its value to turn it off.

  ANOTHER METHOD:
  Go to your windows Explorer and locate the drive corresponding to the CD - RW drive. Right-click on it and select Properties. In the Properties window, go to the recording tab and you will see and option called "enable CD writing on this drive". If it is selected, deselect it.

• Carpet * a UJ-830 cannot read/write DVDs on Equium L10

  Hi, I have a laptop Equium L10. My DVD RAM mast * a UJ 830 cannot read/write to DVD discs. But it can read and write CDs.
  I have installed the latest driver but no luck. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

  This problem appears since day one?

  I ask because it looks like a hardware malfunction, to me it seems that the lens can not calibrate properly and that's why the drive can read and write DVDs.
  What burning software do you use?
  For the most part a burning like Nero program provides an error message if the burning process failed

• Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-M1612 cannot read a burned disc

  Hello

  I have a problem. I wonder if anyone can help please.
  I tried to view a DVD-R on my pc using my dvd player which is a Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-M1612, but it keeps giving me the same error message:
  Windows cannot read from the disk, it is may be corrupted or in a format that windows recognizes.

  The disc was burned on another computer and plays very well on this and on a normal dvd player, so I excluded that the disc is damaged.
  After talking to some people, they suggested me update called firmware?
  I looked at this and can't find it anywhere on Toshibas support or downloads pages feel like looking for a needle in a haystack :)

  I have provided this figure as it apparently is the firmware that is currently installed on the pc.
  I wonder if anyone knows where I can get the current version and if it will help me perhaps discovered the burned DVD-R.

  Hello

  Sometimes this happens to me also, and to be honest it's nothing unusual.
  All CD or DVD is supported by the CD/DVD drive.
  I put t know what laptop you have, but in most cases the user's Guide provides information and details on the mids compatible and taken in charge.

  I ve experience with TDK CD and DVDs and I convinced Mr. I ve tired different CDs and DVDs from various manufacturers and all were not entirely compatible.

  The update of the firmware is not always a solution, but it is sometimes useful to improve compatibility. The update of the firmware can be downloaded from the Assembly of the computer.
  It seems that Toshiba provides updates of the firmware for the series of notebook clean on the European driver Toshiba page.

  To cut a long story short, try a few different CD or DVD from different manufacturers and check what support is no longer supported.

  Good bye

• Satellite L550-10N - cannot read CD

  My laptop can read DVD-ROM, but cannot read the CD.

  When I try to insert a CD, it runs, but does not show anything and if I click on it, they say, there is no cd insert an and try again.

  If you do a search of the forum, you can find the number of threads on your problem. Have you tried to remove the upper/lower case filters to the registry? Try to use high quality media like Word to Word and Tdk, clean with a lens cleaning disc. It's typical responses to your problem. If it does not help, it may be hardware issue. By the way, have you tried to reset to factory settings?

  I get a message to insert a disc, but it is already in it.   When I reinsert the disc, I get the same message.

  Hello

  Looks like the drive has a problem, possibly a cleaning disc might help if he and the
  below are questionable solutions to what sounds like a hardware problem.

  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
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

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

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
