Could not load the device driver

Hello, after upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate, my drive stop working entirely. The description reads as follows: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. I downloaded updates and do not know if I have to uninstall or what... Please help

Hello

First, try the automated Microsoft fixit at the link below.

Windows 7

Check if the drive works now.

If the drive does not, in the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.  Right-click on the first channel and select uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When uninstalled repeat the process for each channel.  Also, if an ATA controller is listed, right click and uninstall it, once again is not removing the drivers if requested. Then, open the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives.  Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.

Restart the computer and let Windows reinstall devices.  Check the disc again.

If it still does not work, re-run the fixit automated Microsoft at the link below.

Windows 7

Then, in the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives.  Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar).  Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.

Best wishes

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the device, but the error just return. I can't find a driver to make it on the web site of the manufacturer or Toshiba. I don't want to use the product recovery CD because it means I'm losing all software and data on the hard drive.

    Can someone advise how to recover from this situation?

    Thank you

  • Could not load the VT - d in ESXi 4

    Hello world

    My problem is that VT - d fails to load even if I think it should work. I'm under ESXi 4 u1 on ASUS P7H55-M Pro motherboard with 8 GB of RAM and Intel i3 530 cpu.

    I activated the VT - d in the BIOS and tested it with the vt.iso from this link: http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-8978

    It shows that VT is enabled on all hearts.

    When I boot ESXi, it states that:

    VTD failure loading with status-1, - 1, 0xbad0001

    When I press ALT + F1, I have this error Message:

    Could not load the iommu driver.

    I don't understand, its permitted on all cores and tested with vt.iso. But ESXi does not always work as expected. Somehow the iommu driver does not load. Anyone have any ideas?

    Concerning

    Christoffer

    Take a look at 5570 Xeon and i3 530 comparison: http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=37111, 46472,.

    Looks like VT - d is not compatible with the i3.

    You can ignore this error message. This error message does not indicate a problem with the adapter. The adapter will continue to function correctly.

  • HP deskjet 6122 could not load the driver on the CD, he says is no longer supported

    Original title: printer HP Printer driver

    I have an old printer of HP deskjet 6122.  It works very well.

    However, when I plugged in a new desktop computer, I could not load the driver for the CD.  He said that it is more compatible.

    Later, I learned that the driver for HP 990 will work as a substitute.

    When I go to the HP site, there is no help as it attempts to identify my printer before you download the driver.  It identifies my printer 6122 as obsolete and will not load the driver down 6122 or 990.

    Where can I go to download the HP 990 regardless of HP driver?

    It's the HP 990c driver you want?

    If so have you tried selecting the update of Windows while in the Add Printer Wizard?

    It will take more than 5 minutes to get an updated list of printers and the 990c is.

    Original title: the answer useful?

    Help, please! Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH40F SCSI CdRom Device) because the driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    Hello

    Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    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 loose 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.

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

    Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
    are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
    ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

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

    WUDFRd failed to load of the device

    Hello

    I did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit and everything goes fine until I started to add the specific drivers of lenovo t61p.  I get the following in the Event Viewer error message:

    The \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load the device driver USB\VID_0483 & PID_2016\5 & 295bd535 & 0 & 2.

    After a lot of Googling, I found that the usb device is a fingerprint reader.  remove the fingerprint reader drivers removes the error in Event Viewer.

    AuthenTec TouchChip fingerprint coprocessor uses the v1.5.0.289 driver.  their website States that the error is a problem with Microsoft.  See this link:

    I see that the other members of the forum answers have similar problems, but they still have to find a solution.  is that someone in Microsoft could provide an update for a fix?

    Yes! After two years, I found a solution.  I installed a previous version of Lenovo sw fp and it fixes attention on win 7 sp1 2 t60.  I've been running for about 3 weeks and warning went on two PCs. then, download and install IN1FGP08WW1.exe.  It is fp s-o of Lenovo in UTEK and there the pilot to clear the warning.  BUT it's not as safe as the current Lenovo sw fp.  Apparently, she was abandoned when authentic bought UTEK because of this.  as I understand it, if someone has physical access to your pc they can decifer pw of windows in the registry.  This isn't a big problem for me.

  • Could not load the profile user (XP OS) and lost files

    Hello

    I tried to connect to my help my profile on XP last night and message box came up saying that my profile cannot be loaded.  I am currently in the temporary profile that was created automatically by the system for this profile.  It seems that files on another profile missing now and I can't get back my original profile.  This profile has been my administrator profile that I created to replace the supplied profile admin system.

    I checked the event log and I see an error event ID: 7026 "could not load the driver system or next start: Lbd." recently, I used the 'delete' function to get rid of one or two programs but was able to connect after you remove these two programs, so I don't think that was my problem with profile.

    I've seen a few comments on the forums, but they are especially for non XP OS.  Is it possible to retrieve the profile and files.

    Please notify.

    Thank you for your time.
