• Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

  Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

  It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

  It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

  What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

• Windows 10 can not boot after installing the Bootcamp drivers

  I have an iMac late 2013 (21.5 "), and I just got 10 Windows so that I can install it using bootcamp. I spent a good part of two days trying to get Windows to work with installing bootcamp, but no matter what I do, the result is always the same. If I let bootcamp install its driver (as he wants when you start first in 10 Windows after installation), Windows will crash before loading fully at the next startup. He comes to see the windows logo pop up with the loading circle spinning around for a second, until what the circle all the sudden stops. After that, it restarts and I hear the iMac from sounds (this much quieter time for some reason any) and then it does the same thing. The third time that it restarts, it starts the automatic recovery mode and I get caught for the advanced boot menu. After letting Windows reinstall itself, it works fine except that it lacks some of the display driver (I can't adjust the brightness) and I also can not use the function keys on my apple keyboard, or the magic mouse at all.

  I tried to reinstall OS X El Capitan and then repeat the installation for Windows. I tried with the driver OS X Downloads for me in Bootcamp (version 6.0), and I've also tried using those newer that Apple offers for download on their site (Version 5.1.5769). All attempts of the result of facilities Bootcamp in crash of boot even when Windows is restarted.

  Windows is still usable, I just think it would work as it is supposed for a Mac wish. Why the bootcamp drivers break 10 windows? Has anyone else had a similar problem? If so, any suggestions?

  Thank you

• Satellite L650-12 q - recovery of Windows 7 does not work

  Hello

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) edition in my laptop Toshiba Satellite (L650-12 q) and after a new start the Windows stopped working. I have a recovery disk that does not load (I'm done with the pointer in a blank screen) and the drive to install windows 7 would not work either (same thing). Safe mode no longer works.

  This probably means that the partition has a problem I'm wrong? -J' used Ubuntu Live CD, which confirmed that c:\ cannot be mounted while d:\ can.

  The problem however is double: a) I'm not sure that aspect of my data is accessible or not (I can't check) and b) I can't reinstall Windows, as Windows 7 installation process does not work.

  Any ideas please on what to do next? I want to access the partition, have searched on the internet (even tried with a Windows 98/XP boot disk), but had no chance that the partition is written in a newer way, which is not detected by them...

  Thank you in advance.

  > I have a recovery disk that was not loaded (I'm done with the pointer in a blank screen)...
  Do you use it for the first time?

  In any case, try to start the recovery disk, follow these steps:
  -Launch the laptop model and when you see the Toshiba screen home press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot options
  -When the boot menu appears to place the recovery disc into the optical disc drive
  -in the menu choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER
  ODD must start recovery disc playback.

  Could you please help to solve this problem?

  Kind regards

  Dmitry

  Please see use of your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode and Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: continues to reappear and ports Thunderbolt and the target Display Mode may not work - Apple Su... .

  If command-F2 does not work

  If your iMac won't go to the target Display Mode when you press Control-F2, check these things:

  • Make sure the iMac that you try to use it as a screen that supports target Display Mode.
  • Make sure you are pressing Control-F2 on the keyboard which is connected to the iMac to use as a screen.
  • In the keyboard system preferences, if the check box is enabled to use all F1, F2, keys etc. as standard features, changes of command-Fn-F2 key combination.
  • Make sure that your Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt cable is connected to both computers.
  • If you are currently connected to the iMac, you want to use as a screen, try to connect to return to the login window. Then again press Control-F2.
  • Some old keyboards Apple and third-party keyboards allow may not control-F2 to toggle display modes. In this case, use the keyboard that came with your iMac to activate / deactivate the target Display Mode.
  • If your iMac is currently started in Windows, it will not be in target display mode. Target display mode is not supported in Boot Camp.

• Windows Update does not properly

  I am running windows 7 on a hp Q8300 quad core desktop computer processor.  Windows Update (do not remember the official name) has worked well up until now.  2 days ago it downloaded updates and and asked to close at the end of a session, as it is often done without any problem.

  Now when you start again it says something like "processing and installation of updates 0% complete, do not turn off your computer.  It was 0%.  Finally, it will start in any case, but updates are not yet installed.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Download and save the Fixit on this page - How to reset the Windows Update components?
  Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers.
  Now Configure the system to boot .
  NOTE: If a 3rd party firewall was previously used, open Windows Firewall in Control Panel to make sure that the native Windows 7 firewall is now on.
  In the clean boot state, all the firewalls of 3rd party will be disabled. Using the Fixit the system must be connected to the internet.

  Now run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose the default mode. Reboot the system to the same State of clean boot and see if he can find, detect and download updates now. If it is possible, then Cancel the Clean boot steps and restart in normal Windows mode.

  In normal Windows mode, can the system installs updates now?

  If this isn't the case, configure the system to boot once more and run the Fixit by using aggressive mode. Restart when it's done and follow the steps above to see if the system can update now.

• Windows update - Windows Update is not restore my windows/desktop computer after installing updates

  When running Windows Update is not reproduce my office and rather trashes everything.  Ysterday I left to work with over a dozen research Internet Explorer open and this morning, I get to a Windows auto update cycle, which wrecked all.  Well Yes, they are lost and of course, I can spend an hour or more to find once again but my boss is breathing down my neck, as if it was my fault.  Microsoft how inconsiderate!

  Of course, I have a solution, TURN OFF Microsoft Update but is this really what Microsoft wants?

  Please people think.

  Hi jbeech,

  No, I don't work for Microsoft and I am not associated with them in any way (other than to receive awards and certificates I earned on my own).  I'm a volunteer civilian gift free time to help other people.

  I meant nothing personal, per my comments of workflow.  I was just trying to do my best to help you avoid this problem in the future and apologize if you took it the wrong way.  I agree with you that he must restore it things automatically (as it does when you use the hibernation), but maybe that can be done (at least not always) because updates may affect items that are open and to update these programs must be closed (which makes saving them more difficult because if they look different after the update) It may not work if we try to restore them unless they can find a way to save ONLY the information and it is a much more difficult task).  This problem does not occur with an accident or an unexpected shutdown (and a complete restoration in cases does not always work as well and completely that we hope - at least I had problems back exactly where I was with all that every time).

  While you can choose to turn off automatic updates, you don't want to not go for very long without updating your system, so checking periodically (although if you want to do on a daily basis - I would try at least every Wednesday at least since most updates are released every Tuesday) is important in all cases.  The option I suggested (i.e. automatic downloads but no facilities) would at least them already downloaded (you would not need to check - that they would be there) it would take much less time to choose and install if you show if off completely - and when you decide to install, you will find it takes MUCH more time because you need to download and install (unless they are already downloaded).  But it is entirely up to you.

  Good luck and best wishes!

• Windows Update does not seem to work

  I got my laptop in June and he made lots of updates from windows, but I was not able to do updates from windows. The settings are on so that it checks for updates every day, install everything she itself, but when I press on check updates, it indicates that updates and it stays like that for hours.

  Last updates ever State control, updates have been installed30/06/2010. My computer is DELL studio XPS. Quatro, windows 7 64 x

  It also seems that you can't find automatic updates for newly installed USB things. Could not obtain automatic installation for my printer and could get no automatic update for a mouse, so I had to cancel the update to use.

  Please let me know, my guess is maybe firewall, but do not know how to get around that...

  Thank you!

• Windows 7 could not search for new updates code error C80003FA

  I just activated Windows 7. When I tried to update, I have "Windows 7 could not search for new updates C80003FA error code".

  Tried three times with the same result. Could someone, please?

  C80003FA ReadVerifyFailure - a read verification error occurred.

  1. What is the suite of security/antivirus installed?
  2 is a 3rd party firewall installed?
  3 - is an upgrade to another edition of Windows?

  Please click on the round of departure. In the search field type programs and files in wups2.dll

  Under programs right click wups2.dll and choose Properties, when the Properties window opens, click the Details tab.
  Version of the file and the product should be showing 7.4.7600.226
  Now do the same for c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll
  He, too, should show file version and product like 7.4.7600.226
   
  If the version is earlier than that, you will need to install the more recent Version of the Windows Update Agent.
  The easiest way to do this is therefore download and Save the Fixit found here - How to reset the Windows Update components?
  Once the download completes close all open programs and browsers.
  Run MicrosoftFixit50202.msi and choose its default mode.

  BUT, if the installed firewall antivirus/security suite or a 3rd party is causing the "reading check error" then the Fixit may/does not work.
  If this is the case, then Configure the system to boot after download and Save the Fixit.
  Then, run the Fixit after the reboot to clean boot state.
  Restart and Cancel the clean boot steps, restart again to normal Windows mode.
  
  NOTE: in the boot minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. When you run the Fixit either unplug the system from it is the network connection or make sure the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on by opening the control panel > Windows Firewall.

• Windows game are not maximized after Alt + tab on

  It seems that whenever I start a game, he struggles to remain maximized.  or if it starts fine and I alt + tab out of it, I will not be able to maximize again.

  If I click on the game in the taskbar, it will maximize to a black screen for a few seconds, sometimes flashing the screen game, reducing me then automatically on the desktop. If I click randomly on the black screen (hoping to activate something in the game) for these few seconds, the game will sometimes load back on the screen and remain stable, but only if I'm lucky and it's a pain in the neck.

  This has only been past moreso in the past months, but it seems more difficult to treat.  I see no changes significant I've done which might cause that.

  I have windows vista 64-bit, Ive tried to play with my display screen resolution and video game options real (my monitor is currently in 1920 x 1080).  Ive tried all sorts of task including alt + tab-switching or "switch to...» "in the Task Manager.  Ive down them as an administrator.  Ive changed the settings for compatibility for the .exe.  None of them have made no difference.  ive tried with several different games, all two (as old as 8 years) old and new games (new this year).

  If it helps to have a game especially allusion when trying to solve this problem, ive got starcraft 2 and dragon age: origins.

  Hey the egg.

  What is the number and the model of your video card and monitor?

  Since the problem is with all games, maybe try with a new driver for your video card. In most cases, get the latest driver solves these problems. If this does not work, you can go for method 2.

  Method 1: Update your video card driver

  For driver updates, see this link:update a hardware driver that is not working properly

  Method 2: Run the clean boot

  A little research showed that many background applications may interfere with the game causing unwanted results. The best bet is to prevent all third party applications to load to the top by performing the clean boot.

  See: How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Note: Ensure that you switch your computer to normal startup mode after completing the troubleshooting steps. Steps are available in the article above.

  Since neither updates Jan - 10 have installed, I'm going to hand you Support MS in the hope that they can resolve the problem. See below.

  That being said, is an interpretation of the 80070017 - cyclic redundancy check error "a device attached to the system does not work," which suggests that a hardware problem might be the cause of the error (although I must say that it is a very low possibility in this case).
