• Utility profile WLAN does not start after the removal of some tools from Toshiba

  Here, I would like to say that Toshiba software (utilities, entering in laptops) is poor, unstable and mostly useless. I think it makes sense to launch a call to management of Toshiba to stop dealing us with the ugly such software.
  SHAME ON THEM!

  For example: in my new Toshiba laptop utility of LAN/WLAN profile (the program is useful only) did not work. It has not removed after uninstalling some of the Toshiba Utilities, their menu program shortcuts forms and I can also see their icons to the left in the notification area settings.

  In addition, some of the utilities did not start (like Toshiba disc Creator). Also utility Toshiba are very different, poorly described and localized, do not appear in between them and their shortcuts are entwined in the menu of programs with shortcuts to documentation.

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest I don t understand why people post only the negative side of utilities Toshiba pre-installed you also noticed that they make your (computer) life easier?

  I don t want to count each tool of Toshiba, but they provide useful functions like CD burning, material is diagnosed, assistant LAN/WLAN connection and so far.

  If you don't like it, n no one said that should be used. Uninstall it and be happy with your laptop. :)

  Regarding your problem:
  I put t know why don t tool work harder because you don't l t post the exact name of it, and that the tools you deleted but say you ConfigFree? The program is useful for WLAN/LAN connections then try to reinstall Toshiba page.

• DVD drive does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.

  I lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.
  It starts with a disc inserted, but stops after about 20 seconds without opening all files.
  The DVD comes on when it starts first and then turns off after a few seconds.
  I have re-installed the driver of Toshiba and still no access.

  I think it all started when I installed a new WD 1 TB external hard drive which its virtual CD drive on the E: drive, which was used by the installation DVD player. I moved the external hard drive G: and drive E: letter has left vacant, but still does not work.

  Any ideas how I can fix this problem? It would be greatly appreciated.

• Satellite L650 - ODD does not read most of the CD or DVD after BIOS update

  While DVD copy, asked me to do an upgrade of the bios for the included software on my laptop, so I thought that coming from toshibsa, it must be safe. I closed all my apps and let the update occur, restarted my pc and tried to continue to copy my dvd.

  Now my dvd writer does not read most of my CD or DVD, original as well.
  I managed to get hold of my previous Bios version after a battle before the update to see if I can go back to my old version, but the executable file runs a program that says the version is older then the one I use, so it will not load it.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated I have two days to copy 100 DVDs for a customer and I can't do it now,

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L650 running windows 7 64 bit 8 GB memory with a SSD hard drive

  > I can return to my old version, but the executable file runs a program that says the version is older then the one I use, so it will not load it

  I don t think that the BIOS is the problem here, the point is that CD and DVD support details are stored in the firmware of the CD/DVD drive and NOT in the BIOS of the laptop.
  So in my opinion the update of the BIOS is not the reason for your problem.

  I think you should check if cleaning the laser lens allows you to read discs.
  Use a fluid wadding tip and alcohol to gently clean the laser lens.

• Satellite P200-140-CD/DVD drive does not read the CD

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite P200-140. The DVD/CD Player plays all DVDs without problem. However, it does not read CD. A message 'no disc' appears.
  I've updated the drivers, cleaned the lens, completed all the normal tasks.

  Any advise / solutions out there?

  Hello

  Maybe you should try to remove the capital letters and lowerfilters in the registry, because you can often read here in the forum:

  (1) run regedit (Start-Run-Regedit online online)
  2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
  (4) restart.

  I hope this works for you too! :)

  Good bye

• The CD/DVD drive does not read discs

  Hi, I have a COMPAQ Presario CQ40 with optiarc DVD RW AD - 7561 ATA Device driver, recently the drive does not work properly. It can read and burn the disc, that I already used, but when it's a new (disc white) it does not read the disc.  It has an error message "make sure that the disc uses a format windows recognizes. If the drive is not formatted, you must format it before you use it. "the disc is the format that would recognize the system.  I tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstalled from the Device Manager, but nothing works, tried too much microsoft fixit, always the same.  Hope that there is another work around here... Thank you...

  Have you tried using other burning software?

  CD/DVD players use different lasers to read CD DVD vs.  Eventually, your DVD laser has grilled.  It might be time to replace your CD/DVD drive.

• My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop computer bed. PL advise solution. Thank you

  My laptop is Pressario V2000. My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop reads the same dvd. PL is the solution. Thank you

  Try another DVD to verify that your laptop can read at least the other DVD.  If he can't play other DVD's then you need to replace the DVD - CD ROM drive supplied with your Pressario.

  Another thing you can try is to check fingerprints or scratches on the DVD, some DVD players are more sensitive than others.

• HP DVD Writer does not read or write DVD, but only the CD

  My HP DVD 1135t burner does not read or write DVD but only the CD. What is the problem? Please help me.

  CD/DVD players use different lasers for reading/writing DVD from the CD.  All indications would point to your laser DVD as having failed.  You could try to remove your drive and install it in another computer to see if the problem follows your player or your computer, but my bet is that the drive must be replaced.

  Hello

  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 check the cables
  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 system manufacturer
