• DVD drive reads CD but not DVD.

  I use a laptop Gateway M - 151 X with an Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7640 A ATA device. The player is no longer plays DVDs, although it does not read CD. I have read through similar problems on this site and tried to follow the advice given there. So far I have uninstalled the driver (and reinstalled by rebooting) and removed the UpperFilters and LowerFilters in the registry. I also ran this Mr Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cd_dvd_drive_problems, who told me that the problem was fixed when I ran with a CD, but he told me that the disc is unreadable when I ran fixit with a DVD. Other suggestions (for example in the selected answer here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistahardware/thread/f388ca10-ba0b-4aa6-8f0d-be24034ada3b) do not seem to apply. Is there anything else I can do in addition to open up the computer and check the cables? I don't know what to look for and won't cause other problems.

  I don't know if this is related, but I also ran this Mr Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/hardware_device_problems, who told me he had a problem with the card Microsoft 6to4 driver, which he is then fixed by put it back automatically.

  Get a DVD cleaning disc and use it to wipe the drive.  Your drive uses different leaders internally to read CD and DVD so if one works and the other does not, a dirty car may be the cause.

• My CD/DVD drive reads CD but not DVD

  Hi all

  I have a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633M DVD player in my laptop and after about 6 months of use, the drive stopped reading/writing DVD. It still reads CDs fine and sometimes will read a DVD completely (without provocation and without warning...!) but is very skittish and stops randomly just to play a DVD. Often, the player will eject and give an error message tells me to insert a disc. I don't know what to do.

  I am running Windows Vista 32-bit. I tried to run the Microsoft Fixit application, which recognizes that the drive is unable to read DVD but offers nothing more useful than and doesn't solve anything (despite its name...). I've read through a number of different forums and have found a range of advice: replace the disk, uninstall and reinstall the drivers or editing the registry. What should I do to solve this problem? Naturally, I would prefer not to have to replace the drive itself, but if it's the only way...

  Thanks in advance!

  Mangi

  The registry thing only works if the drive is completely AWOL from the system so that it does not appear as a drive in "My Computer"... not your problem. The DVD and CD using different lasers and it is not uncommon to go wrong and the other not. You can check the operation of the DVD trying to boot from a bootable DVD. If you can not drive is bad and needs to be replaced. If it works sometimes and not others it could just need a good cleaning with a DVD lens cleaner.

• Satellite - CD/DVD drive reads only CD

  I'm abit confused in this situation. My CD/DVD drive reads CDs but does not read the DVD. I don't know if I have to reinstall the driver for the CD/DVD or should be replaced.

  Please can someone help.

  Hello!

  There is no special driver first of all for the CD/DVD drive. The pilot is part of the operating system and should be updated or exchanged.

  I also put t know why the drive isn't reading DVD s more but have you tried to clean the lens of the drive? Therefore, you must use a microfibre cloth than zero of the lens doesn t and be careful!

  In addition, you can boot from a CD?

  Good bye

  Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

• D:\ is not a valid win32 application. CD/DVD drive reads music CDs, but no installation CD

  I recently reinstalled my Thinkpad T42.  After installing XP and install all updates, I tried to install Microsoft Office Pro 2003 by CD-ROM.  My CD/DVD is not able to read the CD and gives the following error D:\ is not a valid win32 application.  The drive can read music CDs and works correctly.  The Office 2003 installation cd is clean and works on other computers.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Yes, you are right logically.

  Now I see two sceenarios for the solution to analyze your clues:

  Number 1: Technically on the media (e.g - CD/DVD) in what place (at level nm) is the setup.exe, which might be a little corrupted or overburn.

  To read the corrupted or overburn data recording Media(e.g-CD/DVD), lens optical drive must be precisely align / optimized. But your workout goal isn't in this top performance more. So that it can read only where another player can read that.

  Actually lose everything in a music or movie playback by laser beam data a bit do not count a lot (maybe a drop of a sound level of a few nanoseconds which is missed by our ear) but to read a file .exe must be exact to change a little vital file execution make the whole file unreadable garbage before System. But such laser weakened to run well on music & movies.

  To resolve the installation of MS Office thet you just copy all the content of the disc to your HARD drive & then try to install. If the problem persists copy the .exe to install a USB key, the other car that can be read. Then replace the HARD disk by the corrupt.

  Number 2: (Associated virus infection) Your system might be infected severely by code viral insertion of viruses. While any execution of .exe file is impossible on the system, CD/DVD and HARD disk USB storage etc & they won't take their appropriate icons. Basically, he attacks the windows installer component & ban the user to install/play no matter what .exe file that require the help of Win Setup. So in this case change media with a new will not solve the problem. Except for the removal of the virus or system shape. So, you can use free Malwarebytes to scan.

  You can use eset online scanner , scan side by side with

  Microsoft® Windows® malicious software removal tool.

  On the last day of your Windows install 4.5 at the bottom of the link that might help too:

  Windows install 4.5 for 32-bit Windows XP

  Also will help restore registry associated with .exe.

  Conclusion: I'm going to, I said that the title of the thread is not quite right, as you cannot read data from a particular MS Office installation media. But this is not the case with any medium of data disc or installation. At least until your DVD drive so were unable to read all files on the disc, then it might be a pure hardware problem. But as you can see all the files except the .exe files, then there is an uncertain probability of hardware problem.

  Now, you do the analysis & tell me is happening with any media/.exe to install file. Who here has solved your problem

  Ask for additional assistance if necessary.

• Satellite L755-1N6 CD/DVD drive reads scans to disk but no disc inserted

  Hi all!

  Yesterday, I bought a brand new Satellite L755-1N6 and I must say that I am very satisfied with this product.
  Of course, except one thing...

  For some reason any my Player CD OFTEN reads/scans / searches (?) for CD/DVD even if no disc is inside! It's large notebook, but frequent ringing of CD drive is very very annoying and it is not normal.

  He's trying to 'read cd' for approximately every 5 minutes (give or take a few minutes). I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. If please, if anyone has experienced this problem and do you know what this is all about?

  BTW I have disabled Autoplay setting, although I think that it doesn't matter anyway.
  It happened at least twice while I was writing this post...

  Hello

  Have you noticed some click sound coming from the CD/DVD drive?
  I found this thread:

  It is very similar to that described in your thread.
  Disable the + Toshiba PC Health Monitor + in msconfig Startup tab and restart the device.
  Then test if the sound has disappeared.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  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.

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

  Do step 2, you would need to know the registry entries to try then to ask the system and
  Manufacturers of devices as well as checking with the Mycelial forums. Of course, check for the firm - update
  Ware. If you can find reliable registry entries to try and need, we can help automate that
  process once the information is known.

  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.

  I have a Standard in Design CS4 for Mac OS drive (I'm under El Capitan), and anything but Photoshop is installed correctly. However, when I try to open Photoshop it reads, "cannot open the application"Adobe Photoshop CS4.app"because it may be damaged or incomplete." Any thoughts? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, after that it recharges, Photoshop only or all components and nothing works.

  I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes this problem is due to the error of installation as the problems of disk media.

  To confirm that you try downloaded installation file. Uninstall Photoshop and then download the Design Standard suite and during the installation process, in the select list only Photoshop CS 4, uncheck all the others and then install Photoshop CS 4 only and then try to start.
