• audio driver sounds, showing in Device Manager

  I bought a hp pc with win 7 Edition brand family for 4 years, but now his mother burned. now I had bought the new motherboard and installed win 7 home edithion, but not sound driver sound, showing in Device Manager. It automatically takes the builded driver win 7.

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your motherboard support and search for Windows 7 drivers for your specific model number.

  If there are Windows 7 drivers, then download to a folder on your drive hard and install all of them, starting with the card mother/chipset drivers, SATA, LAN, Audio, USB, graphics, Webcam, Etc., and so on.

  If you have an Intel motherboard, you can try the Intel driver update utility: http://www.intel.com/support/detect.htm?iid=dc_iduu

• Satellite A300 PSAG4A: Webcam not detected in Device Manager

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4A 02L00M with Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
  The webcam is not working and it is not detected in Device Manager.
  When I install the Chicony camera drivers, I get the "Webcam driver open fail. Error message.

  The fact that I can't see the Webcam in Device Manager tells me that there may be a hardware failure.
  However, I hope that this is a setting that I can fix myself.

  I had restored the laptop to factory also and I've updated the bios.
  I tried to uninstall all the USB controllers and reboot the PC.

  Is there something I can do?
  It's maybe a software problem?
  There may be a setting?

  Best way to test the operation of the equipment is to check with the factory settings installation operating system with the Toshiba recovery image. As I see that you have done this already.

  So if cam still doesn't work properly, I fear that there is a problem with the hardware.
  It cannot be matter of software because the recovery image contains the driver for the cam.

• Reinstall Windows XP Home Edition 2007, version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.101209 - 1647: Service Pack 3) after the failure of the hard drive and without operating system installation CD?

  I was using an old computer and now I have a new and I want to give the former to my nephew, but I want to wipe the hard drive completely clean, in order to get rid of personal information. I don't have the CD of Windows XP OS came with the computer. After the failure of the hard drive, how can I recover 2007 Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3? The computer that I'm talking about is 9 years old and is a Toshiba Satellite 1415-S173.

  Hi Bobby Collas,.
   
  You must have a copy of the installation CD without which you can not re - install the OS again.
   
  If it were an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) installation, you can restore the factory settings. Contact the manufacturer to do the same.

• CD/DVD-ROM problems, drive not detected AND the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager

  I'm having serious problems here. My CD/DVD-ROM drive is not detected and will not answer. I can ONLY open the drawer at the beginning of my computer laptop startup. The drive does not appear in my computer and the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager. Therefore, the "uninstall/reinstall" is impossible if the computer behaves as it has never been this drive now or never. Previously, I was able to use it as there was no problem, but someday, it's simply not there.

• CD/dvd drive is not listed in Device Manager

  my laptop is a hp pavillion entertainment pc dv6605us, running windows vista. the cd/dvd drive is not read / write any CD and it is not listed in Device Manager. I tried to fix this problem by using the microsoft fixit tool, but I'm still having the same problem. I checked the system registry and found no upperfilters and lowerfilters.
  Please, how can I solve this problem?

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as it is often the total process
  which solves the problem.

  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.

  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

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

  My video card does not appear in Device Manager... it's a HELP of PNY (GeForce FX5700 VEDDR 256MBAGP GF5700VA8D25D)! DRIVER NEEDED?

  -The 'legacy' drivers are not technically a restore because there was
  never a movement forward to Win7.
  They are only a newer version and probably the last, the pilot who was provided for
  Some older cards on older (legacy) systems.

• HP mini 110-1129nr with windows xp home edition, following the file is missing or corrupt \windows\system32\config\system model doesn't have a cd/dvd drive. Help, please!

  HP mini 110-1129nr with windows xp home edition, on said boot computer could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt \windows\system32\config\system computer has no cd/dvd drive. Computer does not load in safe mode, I ran disk hard main test self test it says completion test: failure, check the status: 7 (filled with the read element of the test failed). Help.

  You need an external DVD drive to get the repair will.

  Also the device you own does not seem to have built in the recovery partition. I'm not sure about later versions of this machine, however, it is best to check with HP.

  The problem is that there is a corruption of the registry on your OS or the system could not find where the registry files are due to system files or boot corrupted file.

  A repair can be made with an external DVD, the worst case, is that if the repair doesn't work you reinstall Windows.

• Webcam does not appear in Device Manager

  I have a model of portable pavilion G62-233NR windows 7 64-bit, with a built-in webcam.  YouC'm software was bundled with it and worked.  Now the webcam is not found by one of the video programs AE Skype, Youcam... etc...

  I also noticed that the webcam does not appear in Device Manager. I tell me that I have to reinstall a driver for it but do not know what driver to install. HP has the following availble drivers for my model but which?  If one of the pilots was labeled "webcam", the task would be easy. I hope because the driver is missing in Device Manager that has installed a driver will set missing cam... I'm worried because I don't see a driver named "webcam" in the list... but what else could the problem, how can I get the driver installed, if that's the problem.
