  How to activate Audio devices hidden in Vista and Windows 7
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/143447-audio-device-enable-hidden-devices.html

  Connect one microphone, music player or other audio device to your computer (you want to be sure
  the mic input is enabled)
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/connect-a-microphone-music-player-or-other-audio-device-to-your-computer

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Pilots may also need to be updated:

  Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek high definition
  Audio (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

  Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
  Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
  CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

  If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

  Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
  Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

  Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
  and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
  rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
  installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.
  
  Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  After the updated driver.

  Click with the right button on the speaker near clock - recorders - right click in the box - check see the
  Disconnected devices and show disabled devices - check your micro - highlight
  then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check
  other parameters - levels tab make sure that MUTE is disabled and APPLY / OK to change.

  Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine
  is the RealTek Audio Manager, yours can be quite different name if you have one.

• Cannot find CD/DVD drive in my computer on Device Manager. CD - DVD does not work

  I recently discovered that my CD/DVD drive does not work. It worked fine before. Tried to burn a CD in iTunes, but the error message says that the software or the CD device could not be found.

  My CD/DVD drive does not appear in the computer or Device Manager. I have read a few forums and tried to delete upper and lower filters, but that no longer works. Help, please.

  I am running Windows Vista - it came installed on my computer when it was purchased.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

• Laptop Dell Studio 1555 w / Vista does not wake from sleep when the lid is open.

  I have a laptop Dell Studio 1555 with Vista Premium 64-bit. Until last night, the laptop would run mode standby when I closed the lid and woke up when I opened the cover later. Yesterday I was downloading photos from a Canon camera via USB. I close the lid when I did. When I went to open the cover later the laptop screen remained in black and white. The power button is lit, but the only way I can get to meet is to hold the power button until it turns off completely, and then restart the laptop. A difference when the lid is closed, I think the power button will blink and turn off slowly while he was really in sleep. He remains on all the time now when the lid is closed. I tried to go into power management and put the laptop from sliding when the lid is closed, but has not made a difference.

  Run the system restore and choose a restore point created just before the problem occurred. Steve Winograd, MS - MVP (Windows desktop experience)

  Hello

  1. when exactly you get this error message?

  2 are you able to boot into the office after getting this error on blue screen?

  3. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

  I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

  Method 1: Try to start your system in safe mode and check if the same problem occurs.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Method 2 : If the question does not exist in Mode safe mode then try to put your computer in a clean boot state.

  By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Method 3: If the problem persists, then try to run the Startup Repair tool.

  Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged that may prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  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.

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

  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.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
  drive from someone with the same model.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

  DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
  devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

  I hope this helps.

  Hi Bill,

  You can try the following steps and check:

  Method 1:

  Connect the HTC Fuze to the computer, and then run the fixit and see if that makes a difference.

  Automatically, he diagnoses and fixes problems with the hardware. (USB) Keyboard and mouse are not detected by the Manager of devices or when they do not work.

  Method 2:

  If method 1 may not then try the following:

  If you are running Windows Vista 32 - bit, then Uninstall and reinstall the same.

  Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 for Windows Vista (32-bit)
