  Description of errors related to the 10 Code that generates the Device Manager in Windows on computers
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943104/

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves the problem.

  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.

  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.

• CD/DVD CAN'T READ OR WRITE?

  Hello, me too I have the same problem. Mine is Matsusita DVD RAM on Toshibs L310. It is read or write. Someone can help me. Mr.Fix, he finds that he is ok, however said more attention needed support thro. Help, please.

  Have you asked Toshiba? It is their material, they need to know. Cables come loose from time to time, this might be a cause, who knows? Alternatively, they could simply tell you to start by uninstalling the CD/DVD player/burner?...from the list, in Control Panel/Device Manager? The unit itself, just let the driver here.

  To see if the operating system 'found' it and reinstall?

  Consider the "age" of this unit, it becomes less reliable he will get. If this is the case, simply replace it with a new one.

  Toshiba could tell you the same thing, keep that in mind.

• Computer won't read or write CD's

  My office will read and write DVD - but lately it does not recognize a CD disk.  When you insert a CD in the drive, the drive will be clicking on and light flashes for about 30 seconds, then it stops and there is no message.  Any advice?  I use this computer now for five years and never had a problem.

  Hi applebaum.

  I've never seen this before DLL file, which could mean that it is malware.

  I suggest to run a full system scan using your favorite malware scanning software.

  If the reader is not reading/writing on CD but is DVD playback, it is likely that the drive is failing.

  They have a laser for the CD functions and a laser for DVD functions.

  Each laser can fail and the other format still works.

  XPS 410, XP SP3 Media Ctr
  DVD + R/RW C - RW Combo Drive 'HL-DT-ST DVD +-RW GSA-H13N ".
  Drive DVD-ROM "Philips DROM6316 DVD - ROM".

  My DVD player has been working flawlessly for over 2 years and all of a sudden, without apparent reason, is no longer read or burn DVD - video or data discs. After inserting a disk (blank or recorded) I get a message 'no disc' about a minute later.

  This DVD Player PEUT read and write any CD - R disc, without difficulty, the problem occurs only with DVD + R discs.

  My second drive, only a DVD-ROM works fine. And nothing out of the ordinary, as far as I know, on the properties of disk in the control panel.

  Any help would be appreciated.

• Your CD or DVD drive cannot read or write media

  I did not burn any CD or DVD on my desktop in a few months. Now when I try, my program writing, Roxio Easy Media Creator 9.0, do note "no drive detected".  Cleary Device Manager shows the two CD/RW (I have two installed) present and activated without obvious problems.  I reinstalled Roxio nothing helps, uninstalled both drives and started and not reinstalled - no help. Fix - it for MS recognizes readers while noting that BOTH are not capable of writng and install a writing program - which is already installed.

  Any suggestions?  I am running WXP Professional Service Pack 3

• DVD/CD RW do not read audio CDs or data or save a blank CD, but that it's ok to read and write DVDs

  My DVD/CD RW drive will not respond to CDs of any type, void, audio or data.  It whirs for a few seconds and then more nothing.  No AutoPlay (even if she is selected and in the registry as a value of 1), and if I try to click on the drive, the old hourglass stand forever and if I click on new does not, unless I have the disc, it erases then back to normal.

  The drive works fine for DVD reading and writing.  I tried to little nearly every thread relating to problems of CD, and I ran out of hair out! I uninstalled it, unplugged, repluged, rebooted, reinstalled, you name it! PC has updated the driver when I try to update.  I did all the advice regedit I saw and still nothing!  Anyone?  Please?

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  CD have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.
