CD/DVD-Rom drive does not not on Equium A100

I installed a webcam, and it made my DVD - rom drive does not not with all drives. I uninstalled everything to do with the webcam and it still does not work. Can someone help me solve this problem without using the recovery disk of the product came with my laptop?

I had this problem before, but I didn't the first time, it's the webcam that has caused the problem. It s webcam trust wb - 1400T. I had to use the product recovery disc and he had a lot of hassle to install all my programs again and this time I'm in the middle of exams and can't get it all done in time for my exams, as I have vital work on here I have to do.

.. .Please help me... I think it is the driver, but I don't know how to fix it.

Hi mate

> I installed a webcam, and it made my DVD - rom drive does not not with all drives
To be honest I have never seen that the webcam may have a negative influence on the internal CD/DVD drive.
I see really no connection between the webcam and ODD... very strange
Do you get any error messages?

Anyway, in my opinion, you should try these solution ideas;

(1) remove the drive from the Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the STRANGE and should re-install the drivers.

2) access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
.. then restart the laptop.

(3) download and install the tool freeware "CCleaner". This tool repairs registry and solves several problems in System.

If this does not work, then the new installation of the OS would be wise to check if the problem could be related to a software problem.

Best regards

  • DVD - Rom drive does not

    I just had my Dell Inspiron 1318 in the shop for service, and when she came back I had to reinstall a lot of my old software.

    The Sony Optiarc DVD +-RW AD - 7640A DVD - ROM drive in my computer didn't have to be replaced at the shop and worked well for the first hours of operation of the system. I had reinstalled Office ' 03 and Roxio DVD burning software and it would try to install something else when the drive has stopped working.

    I also run updates of the system before you attempt the installation of Office 2003, etcetera.

    When I insert a disc in the drive, it produces noises as if she is trying to run or to read the CD before ejecting again.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2, almost completely updated.

    I tried a system restore to the last point of operation disc drive, and then I tried to update my drivers. When he said that I had the more recent/better driver, I uninstalled the device and rebooted. Finally, I tried the Mr. Fix - it on the Microsoft Web site. Nothing has worked.

    Anyone happen to know what is the problem? I need to have this drive works in short order and I really do not have to return the system to the shop for repairs more literally the day after getting it.

    Hello

    The Roxio probably malfunctioning filters and if so the 1st steps here that will correct.
    If they do not solve the problem, then work your way through the rest as needed.

    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.

  • External Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive does not work with USB 1.1

    Hello world

    I have a problem with the PA3352E - 2 CD 2 CD-RW/DVD COMBO USB 2.0. A colleague is owner of this car and use it on a NB DellC610 with Windows XP on it. The problem is that the drive does not work with this type of nb (with a NB from Fujitsu-Siemens newest there no problems); There is always an error message about "surge." I think it has to do with the USB 1.1 because the player seems to be built for USB2.0. Is it possible to use this drive correctly with usb1.1 (ok, the flow is low, but more important is it works in general)? Unfortunately his nb will not work with USB 2.0...

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    AFAIK this external must have a power adapter. You use it too? I'm not 100% sure, but there are difference how much power Gets the USB slot. Toshiba notebooks is around 500 my and some producers another laptops send between 300 and 500 my. The external device requires approximately 700 my.

  • Help! DVD/CD drive does not!

    Help! I used the Microsoft Fix It, I went through community forums and followed the links here and there, I even followed of it: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929461 that requires you to modify your registry! YET, without success!

    Yesterday, the Windows Vista update ran, everything was hunky dory and a-okay (or so I thought). After that I turned off the computer, ran some errands, the CD-ROM/DVD-rom drive does not work! When I try to run a program installed which requires a disc (like a video game) I get the message "unable to locate the CD-ROM: Please insert the right CD-ROM, select OK and restart the program" even if the disk is in the computer. When I try to insert media, AutoPlay will not... Well... running! I went to the COMPUTER file and found 2 things; underneith the tip where it know "Devices with removable storage" I found a D:\ RW Drive who said that the device was not found, and to the right a menu similer who told me to "Insert a disc" when I clicked on D:\ RW.

    I looked in the DEVICE MANAGER to take a peek at my drivers and find my CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver and he told me that the unit was working properly - HOWEVER, when I run Microsoft Fix It he told me something different. He told me my filters of class are corrupt, filter of device drivers are corrupt, device is not working properly, drive is disabled, drive is not assigned a drive letter. Now it's all hunky dory but I don't speak computer, and I would like to DISABLE ONE and non-CORRUPT everything!

    I have already done a system restore and follow the link that requires you to enter in your registry and remove the filters. It's a gateway computer, I already spoke with gateway and they told me to do a factory restore (which I have not yet done because I would like to know if there is a way to fix this problem without uninstalling EVERYTHING on my computer).

    I really hope that this is not a lost cause. Help me to Microsoft, you're my only hope.

    Try this step for your DVD player problem:

    5. continue to remove those drivers until it is no longer a topic for the CD/DVD PLAYERS.

    6. search for IDE/ATA/ATAPI controllers and repeat the same steps to delete all of them as you did for CD/DVD players.

    Note: When asked to restart, not until all are uninstalled

    7. the title of IDE/ATA/ATAPI Controller will not disappear and all controllers may not disappear after being uninstalled

    8. click on the X in the upper right corner of the window MANAGER of DEVICES.

  • Satellite A60 DVD - RW drive does not

    Hi guys,.
    The DVD - RW drive does not read anything I put in it.
    He works certainly (in some form) because it runs on start and when I put a disc inside, but he can't always SEE.

    I tried to uninstall/reinstall the drive itself, uninstalling/reinstalling the driver. I searched on the net for drivers (thinking that the driver file was corrupted), but I couldn't find a driver for the DVD-RAM.

    I was restarted after each task but still no luck.

    Help, please

    Thank you
    Dave

    Looks like a dead drive. I think it should replace the disk.
    Try to contact the ASP in your country, and it will get you more details.

  • My DVD/CD drive does not work in Windows 8 Professional, and it ISN'T a hardware problem.

    My DVD/CD drive does not work in Windows 8 Professional with or without data or audio in it. However, if I turn off the PC with a bootable CD/DVD in there, the PC recognize the media and initiate the CD when turned on. This confirms that the DVD/CD drive actually works, but for some stupid reason, Microsoft Windows 8 Professional will not recognize the same DVD/CD player it loaded since! Thanks again Microsoft for another product of shit. Now, how are you going to fix this? And how are we supposed to run things such as WordPad or paint, etc. I predict that Windows 8 will fall faster than Windows Me!
