My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.
Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.
I noticed that when I turn firstly on the laptop, the last two lines of the front entry from Windows 7 are the following.
PXE - E6i:Media Test Failure, Check Cable
PXE - MOF: Exit PXE Rom
During the audit of each Properties in Device Manager devices", I learned that they both work correctly. In the list in the printers and the @Devices the only Webcam shown is also a "USB 2.0 Camera"
Can someone help me please?
Best regards
JohnBesides what abdelhak says:
The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.
Hope this helps,

HP Compaq d530 SFF DIMMs do not recognize. Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit - BIOS version 02.44
Hello HP community!
I recently got a HP Compaq d530 SFF of the company, where I had my work experience.
Fortunately, I took their offer and took the PC at home, everything was going well until I bought myself some new DIMM from ebuyer.com.
I again for a fact, the computer must DDR 333 MHz, PC2700 and it must be in DIMM format, so I went and bought 3x1Go modules. A few days later they arrived and I have them inserted in the computer, ensuring that two DIMMs was in blue locations and others (I wanted to keep a 256 MB module to) in the black sites.
I have re-inserted power cable and tried to boot the PC, he showed me a BIOS message, showing that the amount of memory has changed, since the last boot. Once the configuration is presented, he acknowledged only the 256 MB module. I then turned off the computer, and then remove the 256 MB module, to see what would happen. So, I restarted the PC, and it gave me an error (not shown) tone. To which I then tried (needles) each DIMM different to see if one of them was vice. They are all gave me the same error tone. Since then, I've been running Windows Vista Home Premium, with 1 GB (4x256MB DIMM).
Maybe someone has a suggestion how to fix this?
I've already updated the version of the BIOS at 02.44 (later I could find).
Thanks in advance!
Yours sincerely Simon Cahill
Beatsleigher,
Not all memory is the same, even when picking PC2700. Did you buy non ECC?
Here is a guide on the configuration of the memory for the D530SSF

In 2011, I bought a laptop MSI CX 640. Windows 7 Home Edition Premium has come with it preinstalled. With that I think I buy a license for the operating system and the right to use and reinstall it if I need it.
Over the past four years this handyman crossed a lot of Setup on the laptop, including Linux, Windows 8 and 8.1 and Windows 10 technical overview etc.
Fast forward to today and I learned from Microsoft's offer of a free copy of Windows 10 for owners of authentic versions of Windows 7. So, what I have to do is return to the original genuine Windows 7 Home Premium I own and I will be able to reserve my copy of Windows 10 right?
Not so fast, accomplishment that could not and certainly turned out not to be so simple at all.
I had several long phone calls with Microsoft, who finally dumped the hot potato between the hands of MSI.
MSI I have to say has been useful at the beginning, they sent me for free and quickly 2 recovery disks I needed that SHOULD have helped also go back to square one, just like I wanted.
Should, but actually didn't. Recovery fails with an error that seems to imply that the process is looking for a nonexistent disk 3. MSI is perplexed, all that they have these discs and the simple instructions they send with them. In addition, they are totally in the dark and "will not go dark.
However, one representative suggested that if I could get my hands on a copy of the operating system OEM I certainly would be able to install and use the key I have on my laptop MSI low COST label to activate it. His logic I think, so I'm going to work on this. Another detail, I have to mention is that tht key on the COA label is kind of door as they are all are sitting unprotected Abdel low. But I can take a photo in high resolution and with little digital magic improve to a point where I hope I can read almost all of it and try to guess the characters who are still in question.
Or so I thought that, actually, he does not leave 2 possibilities.
I'm guessing either not right (possible but not likely in my opinion, after all the tests I had) or is NOT an OEM key or if it was has now been cancelled.
Now I'm guessing is NOT a key to the retail, who tried with a copy to the details of the operating system.
So where this leave poor me, owner of a license of Windows 7 Edition Family Premium authentic apparently, I can't use.
I hope that one of you readers can help understand me this and I hope my work and tribulations (I'm a very determined guy) can also help some of you in this if you are also in my shoes.
One final note of common sense me:
If I buy a product, whether it is OEM, sale retail or gift from God, I would get with it all licenses, numbers, keys, permissions, instructions, ten commandments necessary to have access to this product at any time and without hassle.
Which seem to apply to most of our purchases isn't?
NOT THIS ONE OF COURSE! MICROSOFT?
Why not reinstall Windows 8.1 or just enjoy the opportunity for Windows 10 preview to the free final version.
I'll be able to upgrade the Windows 10 insider preview to the final version?
Yes, you will be able to switch the preview of Windows Insider to the RTM version for free.
Company officials noted that if you join the program initiated Windows you get the free upgrade to the final version.
Last confirmation:
When asked if there would be a date for the deadline insiders before 10 reaches RTM Windows, Gabriel Aul of Microsoft says preview builds will continue to come up to the final version.
"We expect to keep overview to insiders builds all the way up to the RTM." More details to come, but no cuts planned. »
https://Twitter.com/GabeAul/status/592917514503507968
After the upgrade, you can switch to the Stable channel.
Otherwise, your best option is to get Windows 7 Home Premium retail media and use COA key to reinstall and reactivate. To learn more:

I have a new computer with windows 7 Home premium. just installed my Presentation adobe acrobat 6.0 standard, the installation as a warning code 20225 appeared? I also noticed that my residence PDF printer is missing? You can help me solve the problem. Bren
Versions of Windows beyond Windows XP are not entirely compatible with Acrobat 6. The first version of Acrobat that is supported by Windows 7 is Acrobat 8.1 (is no longer licensed by Adobe). The latest version of Acrobat: Acrobat Columbia, six versions more recent than Acrobat 6. You need to upgrade to get all the features of Acrobat.

Hello.
I've been an avid user of Microsoft Camera Codec Pack, and he worked a lot since I installed it-up to this point.
A few days ago I noticed that my RAW / CR2 files are not displayed in the windows photo viewer (nor were the thumbnails).I tired to reinstall the codec without success pack; the installation process works fine, but after restarting the same problem persists (this also applies when I 'fix' Camera Codec Pack). I tired both the x 86 version and 64bits without result.
I'm at the end of my mind, and I would be very happy to help :)
