You may need to update your display and video driver
This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - define the VIEW
for the drivers Microsoft hide - updated those without drain in their names. (Also updated
the BIOS and chipset drivers.)-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
(Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.
Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.
Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

I need to install Microsoft NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1, as it is necessary to perform a Dell diagnostic Test, but I've been advised that: Setup has detected that this computer does not meet the requirements to install this software. Requirement: Windows install 3.1.
However, when I look at the download page of Windows Installer 3.1 is not actually as for XP with SP3. I tried anyway and: Setup has determined that the version of Service Pack for this system is newer than the update you are applying. There is no need to install this update. Well actually it is there...
Is there a way to get around this?

computer does not recognize a dvd in the drive
Hello
My computer does not recognize the presence of a dvd in one of my two drives, although she acknowledges a CD. This happens regardless of what dvd I insert.
Thank you very much
PAM
Try this; Restart your computer before trying again the disc that plays on your DVD player. If this does not work then there is only one possibility; your DVD drive is DEAD and you need to replace it, or buy an external CD/DVD drive. He comes to the end of the mystery.

Computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive
For these last days, my computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive. I have tried everything - publishers of registry, check the physical connections inside the computer, the system restore and install Fix - It programs. However, the computer does not recognize this drive. I also wonder if it is a hardware problem. The light on the drive is a constant in green, and does not have the Open button. And when I use the bent-paper-clip-in-the-little-hole and can open the drive, it will not read the disc. Please advise...
I fixed my problem with the BIOS operating system & not recognizing not not my DVD player to reinvest the solder on the motherboard. You can find instructions on how to do it here: http://www.computerrepairtips.net/how-to-reflow-a-laptop-motherboard/
There was a little crazy with my video drivers when I started first, but everything works after resetting the BIOS by default.

My computer windows 8 HP Pavillion M8100n does not recognize the DVD drive or the SD card reader. I have just upgraded to Windows 8 of Window Vista. Do you have any suggestions?
Hello
I see nothing unusual, except that there should be a "0001", or even "0002"...
When you have made the registry change, you used the command line (Admin)?... the process may not work with the regular command prompt...
Also, try to go to Device Manager, right click on your DVD drive, click on uninstall and restart.

My laptop is Pressario V2000. My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop reads the same dvd. PL is the solution. Thank you
Try another DVD to verify that your laptop can read at least the other DVD. If he can't play other DVD's then you need to replace the DVD - CD ROM drive supplied with your Pressario.
Another thing you can try is to check fingerprints or scratches on the DVD, some DVD players are more sensitive than others.
