• Vista will not play dvd/cd

  I just installed 32-bit windows vista business on an old dell computer of three years, including drivers and utilities.  The ATI Radeon HD 2600 driver is current.  But I can't recognize dvds/cds when I try to run them in Windows Media Player or Real Player.  How to attack this problem?

  Hello

  Do not forget to check with support of system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for customized systems),
  their documents online and ask in their forums (if any) on the problems during the upgrade
  for Vista. Check also with the support of the real manufacturer of the CD/DVD drive and other resources.

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

  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.

  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

  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.

• Computer Vista will not print to Deskjet 930c on home network

  Our three computers (Vista is A, B, and C are XP) are connected to a wired network of private home.  Computer A has a Canon printer that is shared and all 3 computers can print to that very well.  Recently, we re-gasket a printer HP DeskJet 930C to computer B (via USB) and shared.  Computers, B and C can be printed on the HP very well.

  But, even if A computer can see the printer, it will not print.  He seems to accept the print command and sometimes a dialog box flashes on and so quickly as it cannot be read, but nothing prints.

  I worked through the Microsoft article "File and sharing printers in Windows Vista" at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx#mainSection and you don't see anything that solves the problem.  I ran the doctor of printing & scanning HP and who wrote the 930C is installed but not connected.  According to the website of HP, Vista has the correct driver.  I have uninstalled and installed the printer from computer A, but it still does not work.

  So I called HP Support, and they said that I had done all the right things, and "it must be a registry problem.  This seems unlikely to me, and I don't know where to look in the registry.

  Any ideas or solutions?

  Hello

  Windows XP sharing can be done automatically in XP or operating systems, XP does not host the drivers for the newer Vista operating systems and so you will have problems with some models.

  To manually add the shared printer, follow these steps:

  1. install the printer locally in following second method: connecting the cable in parallel below:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01655752

  2. go into your PC host (computer B), right click my computer and select Properties.

  Find the name of computer on this screen.

  3. go in Control Panel > printers and faxes.

  Right-click on the printer and select Properties.

  Open the tab end hand note the share name

  Note: I would say keeping the name of sharing as simple as possible (e.g., 930C)

  4. go to your Vista machine and open Control Panel > printers.

  Click with the right button on the 930c configured in step 1 and select Properties.

  Open the Ports tab.

  Click Add a new port.

  In this list, select Local Port.

  Set the local port in the form of \\Computer B Name\Printer share name (for example \\PC-P\930c).

  Confirm the changes and check any change.

  If you have still any question, I would say that the printer is connected to the Vista machine, then share it with the XP PC and check for any changes that should run more easily from my experience.

• Computer Vista will not "Shut Down"

  Why is Vista not 'Shut Down' when we try to? The computer gets to that stage and works on and until what we manually turn off the computer.  When we click on Shut Down, the OS disconnects then goes down at the stop, but isn't.  Anyone facing this problem.  It is found on all 3 computers OS Vista

  Also, when updates Windows tries to install computers work for too long at a time in the mode of installation on the same day.
  Don't know if they are related.
  Thanks for the tips.

  Hi jem820,

  ·         When was the last time it was working fine?

  ·         Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  ·         You receive an error message all in stop or restart the computer?

  Follow these methods.

  Original title: corrupted vista OS?

  My Dell studio slim desktop (Vista OS) that I have since Mar09 died on me 2 weeks back and I can't it start and it will keep rebooting until it resembles the wide long beep (as if a deceased person)

  Whenever my com has restarted, it shows the following:

  Safe mode

  Safe mode with networking

  Safe mode with command prompt

  Last known good configuration (Advanced)

  Start Windows normally

  All options will be led to the recovery of my com & return the same screen.

  It will always get stuck at the loading bar where the com starts boot & restarts itself.

  I tried to attach the hard drive to a different com as external hard drive, but it will begin to restart that com & hang the CMO as well

  I tried using the disc to reinstall OS from DELL and it will show a msg of error (blue screen) with the following text:

  Disable or uninstall the antivirus, Defrag disk or backup utilities. Check the configuration of the hard disk & check for any updated drivers.

  Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

  Hi Bill,

  I forgot to include some info as well... I replaced the 'touched' hardisk (Barracuda 500 GB) to an unused a (Barracuda 160 GB) and the problems disappeared. Whenever I change back the 500 GB in the com, the sound signal occurs only backwards the system continues the reopening for abt... 10 + times?

  "My Office studio slim (Vista OS) Dell I have since Mar09 died on me 2 weeks back and I can't it start, and he'll keep rebooting until it seems a beep long-lasting looks not (as if someone died).

  So the questions are now fixed, unless you put the other disk hard?

  Test the other hard drive.

  Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > find specifications of hardware in your computer (hard drive) > access the Web Hard Drive from the manufacturer site > download their diagnostic software > make a Bootable disc > test your hard drive.

  And run the F12 as I advised you to do so.

  It is DELL's Diagnostics software.

  Good luck with it.

• Vista will not format or remove windows from my c drive I need is no longer. He's always asking permissions, but I'm the only Admin

  • I have partitioned my hard drive incorrectly. I installed Vista on a partition that was too small. Then I installed another version of Vista on a different partition larger. Now I want to remove the small but it won't let me.

  Follow the news of removal on the link above.

  You should have 2 Partitions with different drive letters, if configure you it correctly.

  It would be a better idea to start over and reinstall vista, do a custom install, removing the two partitions and then reinstalling Vista the correct way.

• Computer Vista will not complete start up once the updates have been installed

  Office worked well on 20 January, until the update when you restart it should start going to black screen with cursor. I tried to fix it, but it does not work. I tried the system restore to an earlier date but gives the error. Does anyone have ideas, which is false.

  Thank you

  Lisa,
  At this point if you have a way to back up your data, I suggest that do you so as soon as possible.  Start the XP that you have installed.  Then copy all your data from the original Windows folder to an external drive or a DVD.

  Then, to try to make this repair, boot from the XP disc and select the recovery option.  This will start you in the recovery console prompt.  From there, you can then run the commands to replace the sam file.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• install wondows 95 on a xp system, drive will not format or change NTFS in fat

  Hiya,
  Here are the current specifications for my computer,

  Microsoft windows xp professional,

  Intel pentium 4 cpu 3.00 GHz
  512 MB of RAM

  Basically, I want the computer to work with a windows 95 OS instead of xp, (I have a boot cd)

  I tried different ways to format my hard drive,
  (booting from the xp disk, start the recovery console, giving the correct command request to start the format of drive c while changing storage type of ntfs to fat and when the format is complete I exit console early my computer and my xp is still running with all my files still saved)

  I also tried with the computer in xp by clicking on my computer and try to format the hard drive manually but it gives an error message saying "unable to complete the format".

  I'm to be stupid and do this wrong or is a problem of it is not not possible on my current setup?
  It would be appreciated if someone could help me or come to any solution as to how I can get 95 running if

  Hi Lewiscolli,

  Windows 95 (and their related components) will rise to a status not supported. After this date, Microsoft no longer provides incident support options or security updates. Microsoft does not offer an agreement of support for these products.

  If you have always wanted to install Windows 95 on Windows XP, you can format the disk on which you want to install the new operating system (OS) with the help of the Windows XP disc. You can format the drive in FAT instead of NTFS format, then you can install the Windows 95 operating system using the disc.

  You can follow the below mentioned article for more information:

   

  Choice between NTFS, FAT, and FAT32

• Satellite P10: The drive will not burn DVD

  Hope someone can help me,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P10 and have just received some photos software, burning
  But my drive will not burn DVD, I try with discs DVD - RW which must work my laptop.
  What is happening is when it comes of the burn on the part of the disk of the process he starts, but it fails.

  I tried to burn it with Nero, but even if I burn OK on any CD discs with this software it will not work on DVD discs. It's really annoying because when the burning process it fails so that it makes the DVD - RW disc seem curupt and then my drive has problems mounting the disc to try a deletion once more.

  I have the Nero log file failed
  Done if it's any help to anyone.

  A big thank you Michael.

  Hello

  What about different DVD media? Have you tested the media DVD-R or DVD + R common?
  Have you tried different brands of DVD?
  I can't give you a properly answer why the drive can't burn your DVD - RW, but to my knowledge not every media is supported by the player.
  So I think you should check different DVDs.
