• DVD bluray missing in Device Manager

  I installed windows 7 pro from CD-Rom. I have barely use cd CD-Rom so I did not notice that all of a sudden my DVD drive has disappeared in the Device Manager. When you insert a disc, it rotates but does not start. BIOS sees the optical drive. BIOS has been also updated. All drivers have been updated. Googeled solutions and delete some keys but that did not work. Also restored the laptop to the previous state, but the disc has not been and cannot be restored later. There is a problem on the HP site but also no results.

  Can't believe that the drive is dead, I installed windows from it.

  Do not want to reinstall windows, as I have to be perfect.

  Any who know this problem and have a solution?

  I have a HP 8760W (not "ban" me at the business forum. I bought the laptop not for or on behalf of a company)

  It works. New DVD's ok.

  Not happy at first when I received the replacement however. I ordered exactly the same model. When I received the new dvd player, it turns out that the front was different (higher) and a metal strip which is screwed on the disk and is used for mounting the drive in the laptop was different. So the new reader did not. Took do some MacGuyvering to get the new drive to adapt.

  But it worked, dvd drive is showing in Device Manager now, so happy .

• I lost my CD/DVD (dual drive) from Device Manager on my HP Presario using Win Vista Serv Pac 2 and IE 9.

  Recently, I replaced my hard drive of my laptop HP Presario DV 9718 with Windows Vista. It is a 4 year old laptop, but it's always a good computer. I finished all downloads for updating Windows (some 200 + GB) as well as 2 Pac Serv and IE 9. I lost my CD/DVD (dual drive) and is therefore no longer in Device Manager. Help! My system works great and I downloaded through my print online from HP.com software to complete my installation to work around the CD/DVD missing which prevernted me from the CD of the software running on my printer in my CD/DVD drive. I know it is a malfunction probably related to updates of Windows not supporting the manufacturer of my CD/DVD drive, because it can be manufactured by another company or something to that effect. Anyone have this problem and can guide me through the fix for this problem so I can go in my life and enjoy my Presario completely once more?

• PA: Uninstalled my webcam drivers and now webcam is missing from Device Manager

  Hello

  I had trouble with my webcam I decided to uninstall the driver to try reinstalling one from scratch.

  The problem is that now my webcam is still not displayed in Device Manager, so I can't access its settings to try to update the driver.

  It was a very stupid thing to do, and now I don't know what to do...

  Thanks in advance!

  Cecilia

  Hi Cecilia,.

  Unless you have already done, the first thing I would say is just to reboot the laptop and see if Windows RE-discovered the Webcam and load a driver for it.

  If this does not work, try to run the system restore to return the machine to a point in time before that you deleted the windows driver - see Option 2 below.

• HP p077tx: missing in Device Manager Wifi adapter

  I have a HP p077tx laptop and it is under warranty.

  As for 2 months I have problems with wifi as my wifi adapter used will be unavailable after that I woke up my laptop from sleep. I mean the wifi was not simply disconnected, but there was no adpater wifi under the Device Manager list. Once I chose scan for hardware changes generally used to be back again.

  But last Wednesday, there just no and now it is gone forever. Tried rebooting several times which did not help of course.

  I thought the system restore using the windows system restore to a date before I had this problem. However, as the laptop starts again wifi was back and works normally as it used to. I have never put my laptop to sleep but just turned off. Next morning the wifi always worked and I thought that the problem has been resolved, but it was only before I put my phone back to sleep and later, he was gone.

  I also tried to remove the drivers installed for it programs and features, but it does not allow me to uninstall them and jumped an error saying that it cannot be deleted. \update 65.

  There is no option to uninstall the driver from Device Manager, as I said is not even appear in the list.

  So I tried to reset the laptop and it's same thing happened for a restoration of the system. After putting the laptop on standby it wasn't everything again.

  Help, please.

  .. .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.
