CD does not work - think that I stopped some 'services' by mistake

Laptop - Toshiba Satellite L-45, INTEL CPU T2080 @ 1.73 GHz, 2.0 GB RAM, a Mobile INTEL 945 Express chipset, which is 32-bit.  VISTA Home Premium.

I stopped in my efforts to save CPU resources, 'services' (in Task Manager) and afraid that I might have disabled the D = disk. This happened almost 1 year ago. I do not use the D drive both that and don't not know that it is status non-working until recently and DO not want to make it work again.

This we know: DEVICE MGR says "the device is working properly" and "driver software is up-to-date.
It was suggested that I noted in a FORUM (1). Toshiba Disc Creator and (2). Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.

Any thoughts?
Looking for words of wisdom before I make my problem worse!

Last post: took the laptop to Best Buy 'Geek Squad', which has restored my failure of non-working internal speaker by update audio driver. They said ODD (optical disc) does not not and suggested replacement. Pleasant surprise of "Geek Squad" - free of charge. I was surprised that they did not wish by accepting the laptop for repair. They suggest searching eBay for drive hard IDE and DIY or bring it to a local - independent repair shops (almost obsolete and hard to find pieces). At the suggestion of an acquaintance, I bought an external drive connected USB ($30) that works very well for my limited use. (shocked to find he did not "install" Software - Plug & Play I guess).  I just need to be diligent to run the step "Remove hardware safely" when to stop the laptop.

Volunteering allows you to close the case. Thank you very much for your advice!

============================================
You are welcome and thank you for the comments.

Unplug the external drive is important to avoid sliding
It's out of the Word as I've seen it happen with several digital cameras.

See you soon.

    Sounds like keyboard problem.
    The operating system uses the pilot to clean keyboard and generally it s not necessary to reinstall the special keyboard driver.
    But one thing is really strange; the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager

    Eventually it s only a problem of software in such a case, a system restore can be useful...

    Have you checked if the keyboard works in the BIOS?
    Do this!

    If the keyboard does not work in the BIOS, then you will need to replace the internal keyboard with the new.

  • Keyboard does not. Able to use for the connection does not work after that.

    The keyboard works to connect. But does not work after that.

    Hello Sml15,

    The embedded screen keyboard should still work even if the physical keyboard isn't.

    Try this first...

    Press and hold the Windows key and the space bar.

    If no joy, go to the search bar and with the built-in keyboard, type the filter keys and choose key filter on or off.

    In the window of the ease of access to the keyboard, disable FilterKeys.

    If all goes well, which will fix the problem.

  • Update of Windows XP does not work, how do I stop the Office 07/10 updates?

    For these last months, the web version of Windows Update does not work with XP. When you click on the button for Express or custom installation, the stalls of system looking for updates. So I had to put windows to warn me of updates instead of going on the site, but now it keeps wanting to download me updates for Office 2007 and 2010, but I do not own these products (I use Office 2003).  I could not stop, even when I ticked the box does not warn me of those more. Finally I went to the site and found an option to disable Microsoft Update, which said I could always download the updates to the site, but I can't because he's trying to force me to re - download Microsoft Update.

    What is going on?  I don't like the new Microsoft Update as it keeps nagging me to download updates for the products that I have not yet owned. How can I update Windows XP only?  This is very fustrating.

    Hi Steve,.

    Follow these steps.

    Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel and double click on automatic updates. I'll explain why later.

    Then, tick the option at the bottom to turn off automatic updates, and then click apply/OK.

    Then, go to start, run, copy and paste this command and click OK: services.msc

    In the list of Services, you can see Background Intelligent Transfer Service ?

    Here's a pix what he looks like.

    If it is not listed, follow these steps to register the BITS service.

    Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll

    Research should show this file in the following locations:

    C:\Windows\System32
    C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\bits

    You might only see qmgr.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32 depending on your configuration.

    Then, go to start, run and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK

    Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll

    Reboot the system and then copy / paste this command into the field run:
    %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.inf

    If you are prompted to insert the Windows installation CD, ignore this and in the dialog below, replace the path C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

    If you could only see the file in C:\WINDOWS\system32, change the path to that instead.

    Restart the PC and then go to the Services and you should be able to see BITS in the list.

    Double click on it and then on the general tab, click the Start button to start the service manually. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.

    If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
    Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dll

    Reboot again and try once more to start the PIECES. It should work fine now, but in the unlikely case where it fails again, run the following command, and then press ENTER:
    Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

    Reboot once more and then do the following.

    Go to this link and install the IE8 December Update:

    If you use IE7, use this link instead:

    Finally, go to the Windows Update site and you should be able to download normally.

    If this is the case, re - enable automatic updates in Control Panel.

  • I have windows vista but CD Key does not work so that was ok until now

    The President complied,

    I have the authentic drive of Microsoft Windows Vista, but now the product key does not work as it was working before and I use it for the past two years. Mr President, I am facing a very big problem my windows stops automatically after 30 days, please fix this.

    Hello ElumBuneri,

    As you stipulate that Windows stops working within 30 days, I'll assume that you have been unable to activate your copy of Windows. You receive the error message probably is "key to product already in use"? If this is the case, a simple phone call will solve the problem.

    See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

  • On NEW laptop keyboard does not work after that the screen keyboard has been activated and then deactivated.

    Look at my friend got a new laptop and went through the whole upward. the on-screen keyboard has been activated which invalidates the real keyboard when the on-screen keyboard has been disabled the real keyboard has NO return. If this is a bug... Fix it. This is not a driver issue, it is not a user error. Stop giving people answers, trying to pretend like it's not not the OS when most people already know that it is.

    I'm sorry, but I didn't not new meant only one day.  And when I got my new laptop, one of the first things I did was to create a point of files, even a day later I had a restore to use - point and that was possible here as well.  I'm sorry it wasn't the case.

    If the system restore option is not available, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not work, you can try to go into the BIOS during the startup (the key appropriate to push appear on the screen to enter the boot menu or boot installation - try them both in turn if both appear. It is possible that the BIOS contains an option to disable the keyboard (which may have been activated by the keyboard on the screen but not changed when disable you the on-screen keyboard) and you may need to re-enable manually.  There is a slight possibility, but it is an option to try.

    Another option to try is to set up a new user account that has never used the keyboard on the screen and see if the regular keyboard works when you connect to this account.  If so, you can simply treat the original as a corrupt account account and use the following procedures to complete the transfer.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.

    I hope that one of these aid procedures.  I'm sorry if they seem to 'generic', but we do not really know what is the problem - especially since the system is new.  We try and identify the cause and fix the problem at the same time using the procedures available to us.  I suspect there's a registry tweak will correct this problem, but I went through the whole registry, and although I found several referencers keyboard, I could find no which seemed to control or not activate the main laptop keyboard (though it has been in one of the entries that has been encoded in binary that I couldn't read).  It's possible someone who knows more about the registry will respond to this issue with a proposal to amend (or perhaps another solution).

    I hope that one of the solutions I proposed works.  Please post back in all cases we will know whether or not to continue searching for an answer.

    Good luck!

  • Update my wireless network device does not work after installation of Software Distribution Service 3.0

    After the installation of Software Distribution Service 3.0 update my wireless network camera does not work how do I uninstall Software Distribution Service 3.0

    How did you receive the update?

    Was it via Windows Update or Microsoft Update?

    Before the changes are made to your computer, the system restore points are made. This is so that you can go back in case an update causes problems.

    Follow these steps:

    1. click on the Start button

    2. click on accessories

    3. click on system tools

    4. click on system restore

    5. click on next

    6. in the calendar that appears, select the one which refers to Software Distribution Service 3.0 and click Next

    After the collection of certain data, the computer will restart, and the update will be gone.

    Hope this helps

  • The plugin check page does not work, it will never stop check.

    My plugin shows Flash as outdated and blocked, despite having installed the latest flashplugin package. I went to plugincheck page to be updated, the bit that never stops check/loading (loading circular animation).

  • Wireless Auto configuration does not work after that manual set up

    Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) stopped working on my computer at random.  I went online found some resources how to click Run, put in a formula and get it up and running again. It worked... once. When I turned off my computer and turned it back the next day, WZC did not work again, so I went through the whole process, once again, but now it doesn't work at all. I guess I should just uninstall and reinstall the Configuration automatic service, but I assure you that I do things. Can someone help me if I can do my work on my computer again? Thank you

    Yes, it's the process that I have lived, more than 15 times.  When you make my hours of searching, he had 3 different codes to use when using:

    Start > run

    1 %SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc/s

    2 ncpa.cpl

    3, sysdm.cpl

    Regarding the third party... my laptop is very old, but I took good care of her. This issue is literally something that started when I turned it on.  Wi - Fi, I have a "Broadcom" symbol (which was always there) in my quick launch.  Other than that there is no component of third-party wireless known on my computer.

    The command symbol Broadcom wireless utility IS a third party.  Although you can have the icon in the notification area since you had the computer, it must have been turned off and is now activated.  Either click or right-click on the icon of Broadcom and see if you can find a section 'options' or 'preferences' which will allow you to disable for Windows order your wireless card.

  • The water on the keyboard and it does not work after that I cleaned

    Ispilled a bit of water on my keyboard lapyop and wipe immediately, but it's still not working what can I do

    Hi lizfs,

    Give, it drying time and see if that helps.  If not, chances are although the keyboard has gotten watered (pardon the pun) with some type of short circuit or something and must be replaced.  With laptops, the water passes also through the keyboard to the components below, then it may be fairer than.  Computers many do not like water.

    Try contacting the manufacturer of the computer for advice and assistance.  Most keyboards can be removed amd which may help to speed up the drying or show more obvious shorts or water that you missed.

    In the meantime, you can try to attach a USB keyboard to be able to use the computer.  If they can not will not help (and this test will narrow the magnitude of the problem, if this keyboard works or ID a broader issue, if it's not), then your only real choice is a local reputable computer repair shop (NOT Geek Squad or any like that) to see if something can be done.

    Good luck!

  • Hide advanced action does not work after that triggered the effect

    I have a pretty simple step action that does the following:

    Hide banner

    Apply motion effect to 3 SmartShape from right to left

    Cache: SmartShape3


    SmartShape 3 is essentially half a rectangle rounded, which acts as a banner with text. At the beginning of the slide, it is hidden and sitting almost out of the scene. When you click a button, it does the following:

    See the banner

    Show: SmartShape3

    Applies the effect of movement from left to right to SmartShape

    This gives the illusion that it slides in from the left. The reason why I had it sat a little on the scene at the beginning, is that the effect is slow, so this makes it speed up as it has less distance to travel.

    The idea is the action above in blue is triggered and the banner slide from the left on the stage. Another button is pressed and the Red action is triggered sliding off the stage. But once the motion effect has been run, it does not seem to hide, leave the end of the rounded rectangle visible on the stage.

    I tried to adjust the break lines in the buttons that trigger these actions further pushing them to the bottom of the timeline, but it has no effect. I actually expected to start the path and then hide the shape so fast, that you wouldn't see in fact a large part of the effect as when stocks advanced spear they are super fast.

    Am I missing something or is this just a limitation with effects using advanced Actions?

    You have a misunderstanding about the actions. All orders in a fast action are executed in sequence, but immediately. The effects also have a duration, you don't say how long you have applied.  Can you post a screenshot of the timeline? Have you checked the length of the path, is it enough? You do this using the same temporal effects. BTW, I often apply such an effect using micronavigation instead of applying it. In my last blog, you can see an example:
