CD drive not seen WMP when I try to burn a CD

Hi, I have problems when I try to burn a CD, a message appears [connect a burner and restart] although I can play CDs in WMP, I checked the Device Manager all drivers are up to date & this device working properly. I usually burn to CD - R or CD - RW only discs no problem regards Anthony

If you have a cd/dvd lens cleaner, try to run it on your drive.

Try to run the WMP Troubleshooter to see if it finds anything wrong - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Media-Player-Settings-troubleshooter

If this does not help, see if this fixit- http://support2.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/en-us , which includes "a CD or DVD drive can not be found or is not connected"

  • When I try to burn a music disc player is registered as a DATA reader and does not allow me to copy music files that I can play on an external source

    I have computer aGateway running Vista Home Edition and something happened with WIndows Media Player.   I have the DVD/RW internal drive and external DVD/RW as a player.  I use them mainly to copy music files and it has always worked fine until yesterday.

    When I try to burn a music disc, the player is registered as a DATA reader and does not allow me to copy music files that I can play on an external source (such as the CD or car drive).  Worked fine Saturday and had burned discs Saturday night recognizes the two drives as data drives.

    Is it something that needs to be reset or changed?

    In WMP, please click the button burn up and make sure that the Audio CD is selected. Then try burning the CD again, they now play on a standalone CD player too.

  • DVD drive not seen by Windows 8

    I have a Dell Inspiron with Windows 7 537 originally. The installed and functional DVD drive is a TSST DVD +-RW TS-H653G ATA drive.

    I have recently installed WIndows 8 in dual boot. When I boot with Windows 8, the DVD drive is not seen. When I go to the Device Manager and I look at the properties of the DVD player, I have the following message appears in the device status area (here I give a translation of the message in french)

    This device is not actually connected to the computer (Code = 45).

    To correct this problem, reconnect the device to the computer.

    The fact is that the DVD still works fine when starting with Windows 7.

    Do I need a new driver or a new device or what else?

    2 type following and say enter

    Reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" / f/v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

  • 6 iPhone with iOS 9.2 does not and freezing when I try to turn on + WiFi freezes

    6 iPhone with iOS 9.2 does not and freezing when I try to turn on + WiFi freezes cannot allow him. (When I get to start the Iphone by pluging it to Itunes)

    I've done a new install and reset the network settings.

    But always the same questions

    Thanks a lot for your help

    I have the same questions and more from Friday December 11 when I've upgraded to iOS 9.2.

    Device: iPhone 5 s

    Problems:

    -Screen freezes randomly reboot * required (sometimes restart by the camera itself)

    -Sometimes device reacts very slowly on the command (or even then restarts)

    -For the most part within the first hour when used, sometimes immediately (after restart)

    -Cannot slide or apps to react when I touch

    -AssitiveTouch on, keep available however to move and opening, but no order accepted when the screen is in gel

    Resolution of problems so far:

    -Reset all settings (no result)

    -Backup on iTunes (11 dec)

    -Erase content and settings and restore the backup to iCloud (10 Dec *) (no result)

    -Erase content and settings and restore the backup of iTunes (11 dec) (no result)

    -Tried with the new iPhone camera 6 and restore backup icloud (unsuccessfully; restore hangs at "1 minute remaining")

    -Tried with the new iPhone camera 6 and restore backup of iTunes (no result: same freezing questions reappear)

    Conclusion date: is not a hardware problem (device), but one software: combination of the configuration (such as backup) and the new iOS 9.2.

    By the way: I guess that not possible to restore 9.1 on the device.

    The new iPhone 6 initially contained iOS 9.1, but then did not 'see' backups, because they were made from a 9.2 iOS device.

    So I had to first install the iPhone 6 as a new iPhone, upgrade to iOS 9.2 and then I was able to reset and restore the backup (with no good result, as described above).

    *) restarts: hold Home-button on/off-button simultaneously for 10 seconds

    backup *) in the form of clouds 10 Dec worked without problem on iOS 9.1.

    I will continue to investigate on removing the apps installed a year or two, see if that generates the result.

  • Windows Media Player 11 says disc not empty when you try to burn

    When you try to burn on my home computer with Vista and also computer work with XP, two media players say that the disc is not empty when you try to burn and put back a white disc.  Sometimes, it will finally work after multiple attempts; sometimes not!

    Hi doodle75,

    You try to add data to a multisession CD - R or CD - RW in Windows Media Player 11?

    If you attempt this task, this problem occurs because Windows Media Player 11 does not support multisession recording. You receive this message if the CD you are trying to record already contains data.

    To resolve this problem, save the data to a new CD - R or CD - RW.

    Reference:

    You are prompted to insert a blank disc when you try to add data to a multisession CD - R or CD - RW in Windows Media Player 11

  • Windows Defender does not work. When I try to turn it on, I get the message "not responding".

    Original title: Windows Defender

    I have Windows Vista and my Windows Defender will activate/doesn't not work.  When I try to turn it on, it responds by saying: 'it is not responding' and stops automatically.  I tried to re - install & who did not work.  Any ideas.

    Hi lskdjfoie,
     
    What have you tried to reinstall? Windows Defender or other programs?
     
    I suggest the following steps and check.
     
    Step 1:
     
    Usually if you have a third-party security software installed, Windows Defender would not work. I would temporarily disable all security software and check if the problem persists.
     

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
     
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Step 2:
     
    If this does not help, I would say you scan SFC on your computer and check if Windows Defender works fine.
     
    Step 3:
     
    If none of the steps helps create a new user account and check if the problem persists.
