    .. .i reinstalled the operating system and the drive of dvd/cd rom works for the installation of the operating system, but once it has fully installed the cd/dvd rom drive isn't even appear in Device Manager and it wont even open after the OS is completely booted!

    I also tried the regedit solution, but I have no upper or lower filters...

    I use a hp dv6815nr! Help, please!

    Very respectfully,.

    GK07

    I thought I had posted the solution.  The upper and lower filters need to be refreshed.  Here is a solution I found on the Adobe forums. http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/402/kb402306.html

    Refresh the CD and DVD drivers list in the Windows registry.

    Warning: The registry contains information on the system that are critical to your computer and applications. Before editing the registry, be sure to make a backup of it. Adobe does not provide support for problems that result from incorrectly modifying the registry. Adobe strongly recommends that you have experience editing system files before you modify the registry. For more information on the Windows Registry Editor, see the Windows documentation or contact Microsoft Technical Support.

    To refresh the CD and DVD drivers list in the Windows registry:

    Important: After you refresh the list of drivers in the Windows registry, you may need to reinstall any other CD or DVD on your computer to write applications. If you restart Windows after this procedure and other burning CD or DVD applications do not recognize the CD or DVD drive, and then reinstall those applications.

    1. Uninstall your Adobe application.
    2. Open the Registry Editor:
      • On Windows 2000 and XP: click Start > run. Type regedit in the box text open, and then click OK.
      • On Windows Vista: Click Start. Type regedit in the search text box, and then press ENTER.
    3. In the left pane of the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class and select the {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} key, which appears as a folder.
    4. Select file > export (Windows XP and Vista) or registry > export a file from the registry (Windows 2000).
    5. In the export registry file dialog box, select the branch selected under export range, name the file (for example, CDDVDkey.reg) and click Save to save the file to the desktop.
    6. In the Panel to the right of the registry editor, select the LowerFilters line, and then choose the editing command > delete. Click Yes in the dialog box confirm deleting key.
    7. Select the UpperFilters line, and then choose the editing command > delete. Click Yes in the dialog box confirm deleting key.
    8. Close the registry editor.
    9. Open the Device Manager:
      • On Windows 2000 and XP: click Start > Control Panel. Double-click the system icon, click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
      • On Windows Vista: Click Start > Control Panel, double-click System, and then click Device Manager in the task pane.
    10. Click on the symbol more then to CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives.
    11. For each listed DVD-ROM or CD-ROM drive, select the icon then choose Action > uninstall.
    12. Restart Windows.
    13. Windows will automatically detect and reinstall your CD-ROM or DVD - ROM drives. You can check that the drives are installed in the device (see step 9) Manager. If the drives are not present, open Device Manager and choose Actions > Scan for hardware changes.
    14. Reinstall your Adobe application.
    15. Restart Windows.

    Important: If this solution doesn't solve the problem with the application you reinstalled, then you must restore the CD and DVD drivers list in the Windows registry.

    To restore the exported CD and DVD drivers list:

    1. Double-click the registry key that you exported.
    2. Close the registry editor.
    3. Restart Windows.

  • No wireless driver appears in Device Manager

    Wireless worked very well.  The next day, it shows only an Ethernet with an x through it.  Wireless at all.  I went to Device Manager and it says I have no drivers.  Went to the Recovery Manager and found the Atheros AR9285 adapter drivers and tried to reinstall those.  Still, the device manager says I have no drivers for my wireless.  Presario CQ62

    Hello:

    Try this.

    Unplug the USB Belkin adapter and download the latest drivers for your laptop's internal wireless card. You can download it on your friend's cell phone, copy it to a USB stick, plug it into your Notepad launch the driver installation file and see if it installs.

    I JUST INSTALL WINDOWS VISTA SINCE WINDOWS 2000 IT HAS WORKED VERY WELL ON THE 2000!

    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 make sure that the cables in 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 manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • CD/DVD-ROM problems, drive not detected AND the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager

    I'm having serious problems here. My CD/DVD-ROM drive is not detected and will not answer. I can ONLY open the drawer at the beginning of my computer laptop startup. The drive does not appear in my computer and the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager. Therefore, the "uninstall/reinstall" is impossible if the computer behaves as it has never been this drive now or never. Previously, I was able to use it as there was no problem, but someday, it's simply not there.

    My video card does not appear in Device Manager... it's a HELP of PNY (GeForce FX5700 VEDDR 256MBAGP GF5700VA8D25D)! DRIVER NEEDED?

    -The 'legacy' drivers are not technically a restore because there was
    never a movement forward to Win7.
    They are only a newer version and probably the last, the pilot who was provided for

  • Webcam does not appear in Device Manager

    I have a model of portable pavilion G62-233NR windows 7 64-bit, with a built-in webcam.  YouC'm software was bundled with it and worked.  Now the webcam is not found by one of the video programs AE Skype, Youcam... etc...

    I also noticed that the webcam does not appear in Device Manager. I tell me that I have to reinstall a driver for it but do not know what driver to install. HP has the following availble drivers for my model but which?  If one of the pilots was labeled "webcam", the task would be easy. I hope because the driver is missing in Device Manager that has installed a driver will set missing cam... I'm worried because I don't see a driver named "webcam" in the list... but what else could the problem, how can I get the driver installed, if that's the problem.

    Hi @decyferme,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    It's a great place to find answers and suggestions!

    You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums.

    Learn how to post and more

    How can I find my model number or product number?

    I understand that you had a problem with the touchpad for months because it is not responding. Although the driver is listed in programs and features in the Device Manager is not listed.

    Have you checked for virus and malware?

    Have you done all Windows updates?

    Have you tried to run the troubleshooter in Windows?

    Did you run HP Support Assistant to facilitate updates of HP?

    First you would try this step.  Some models, you can enable or disable the touchpad by double clicking on the top left corner of the touch pad.  Please see if it is applicable for you.

    Then in Device Manager, view hidden devices and search the hardware changes see if the touchpad now will be seen.

    Here is a link to the HP laptops - use and troubleshooting of the TouchPad and ClickPad (Windows 8) that should help you too.

  • Pavilion dv6-6c53cl: dvd player not working not not after restoring - all missing drivers, does not appear in Device Manager

    Recently, I have restored my computer dvd6-6c63cl of flag State 'out of the box.  The dvd drive no longer works.  When you put a CD, you can hear him swirling but the screen does not open.  In addition, in the Device Manager section, dvd is not listed.  I think that I need the drivers, but I did have luck to find them on hp.com (just a recovery disc, you can order).

    I tried some of the solutions on this forum for other computers, but is it didn't work (FixIt) or things in the registry (filters) were not there and one was something that was 32-bit and since it's 64-bit, I was afraid to try it.  Clearly, I don't know enough about computers.

    In which case it is important, I recently had my fan replaced and do not know if the dvd player worked after that.  Obviously not used often.

    You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated.  The computer is 3 years old so I don't want to add 'guaranteed' type plans, but at the same time, I don't want to replace the computer for something so little.  The restoration of fixed the problems I had (internets public wouldn't connect and updates did not exist).  Thank you!

    You may consider replacing the internal DVD player or using an external DVD burner.
