CD/DVD drive does not work after restoring the computer in Vista
My CD/DVD has stopped working. Now if I boot my computer it crashes just on the main start screen. I have to unplug the power to the drive in order to boot my computer. I've corrected the driver once before but my computer crashed and I had to restore. Now, the problem happened again and I can't find what I did the first time to fix the driver. Help, please.

CD/DVD drive does not work after 8 Win instalation
Since a month since I've updated my windows in windows 8, everything works fine but the DVD - RW.
When I put the blank cd and try to open it, it gives me error when opening by saying:
"windows could not complete the format".Who's a software or a hardware problem?
waiting for help!
This means that your CD/DVD drive no longer works and is not recognized by the system?
If Yes, then I would recommend checking this Toshiba document that I found on the portal of the knowledge base site:

Windows Update does not work after restoring the system
HP Compaq 6000 Pro, bought in early 2011. Windows 7 32 bit. I recently did a factory restore to return to a clean system using factory restore partition. The restoration seems complete ok, and I have a Windows 7 clean and functional configuration.
However, the Update window will not work (and of course, it is now quite an old installation of Windows 7) it comes up with the Red Cross and the message "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running." Other notable issues that may or may not be related are: Windows Defender won't start not (0 x 80070564). HP Support Assistant reports it needs to update, but the update fails (because then it just says: it should be updated again)
What I've tried so far:
Verified that the BITS and the WU services are both actually run
Uninstalled the McAfee antivirus software
Tried to install Windows 7 SP1 directly (happens with "catastrophic failure")
Tried Windows Update (wusa.exe) stand-alone installation / WU Readiness tool-fail (Oxc8000247)
MS difficulty he said Troubleshooter it corrects problems, but nothing changes later
(In short, tried all suggestions from MS support)
It drives me crazy - any help will be appreciated!
ISO should work, just be sure to download the version of Pro 32-bit.

Re: WIRELESS does not work after restoring the system to the factory settings
Hello
I just had to reset my Toshiba Windows 7 laptop to factory settings, I backed everything up to an external hardrive beforehand. After the process that kept restarting my laptop on its own, he did this, while the default Toshiba program was missing (from the application of the box). He said not to interrupt or turn off the PC while it was running, but I couldn't stop it do it several times. The process finally ends the green bar hit 39/39 and let me come back to the office.
It seems to be OK now, but I can't get online, I have connected to my wireless router and it says connected with an excellent signal but I can't do anything on Internet Explorer. I would like to re - download a few things such as Adobe Flash Player, AVG Free, Mozilla Firefox but can't even get anything. It's not even an error message that appears when I'm on IE.
Can someone help me please?
Tommy
I hope that you can use your laptop by using the LAN connection.

I am running Vista Home Premium on a laptop Compaq Presario F700. It is listed in the list of computers of readers, it is listed in Device Manager. The lites drive that the computer boots so I know it is detected. When you run itunes or media player the player does not open. When I push the drive button it will not open. It opens with a paperclip in the exit hole. It cannot read a CD or a DVD. None of the media players even recognize there is a disc in the drive. I tried to run fixit, but it would not drive either. I tried restoring from a previous backup, without change.

I tried Mr. Fixit, and I still keep getting the same message again and again... It was working fine, less then a month ago.

19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.
Please make all underneath the same if you've done it before as it's often the total of the process which
