  No, it's not the same game as the PSX one. It's an arcade of Oberon Media (shareware, available athttp://gamecenter.oberon-media.com/game.htm?code=111274487&RefId=&origin=pcat_gm_d). The version that you contains no *.hta file and play very well if you do not use "launcher.exe" of the game (which has a script, leading to an infinite loop error), but the 'treasures of the Deep.exe' instead.

  my cd/dvd drive has stopped working.  He said after a repair code 19.  How to restore the drive?

  Hello

  19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same 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

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  Is the CD/DVD drive listed in Device Manager at the present time?

• Sdatellite M100 does not recognize the CD/DVD drive in Windows XP

  It is listed in the Device Manager, but with a yellow explanation mark.
  No mention of this in my computer.
  No icon.

  I am able to open the drawer and I put several types of cd/DVD in them without any result.
  The light flashes in orange on the door. The drive is listed as "Mat * advd-ram uj - 841 s-(sm)" in the bios under boot devices.

  I'm trying to figure out how to remove the drive and reconnect but it seems that I have to disassemble the thing to do and hesitate without a diagram.

  It is only a user guide in the downloads on this site so any help is appreciated: 0)

  Oh, I also downloaded the driver from this site for the drie. Before that, I uninstalled the drive in Device Manager, but there was no change when I installed the downloaded driver.

  Simply using a Ubuntu Linux live cd and it is running.
  Unfortunately its going to be hard to know for sure what the problem in this way because I don't want to install ubuntu on this machine it is someone elses machine and they are far from would you like to try linux.

  I'm in a live session now.
  Ah ok when I go in the media folder there is no mention of the cd/dvd drive.

  It is really a problem unless I can unplug physically the Mo and reconnect: 0 (Oh wait here it... is under 'cdrom' folder ' but only files with a relevance to the side by side with windows installation are mentioned... exe files, wubi etc..)

  Ah ok that's beyond my experience.
  Can someone give this amateur a tip?

  First remove the player of ODD (CD/DVD) from the list in Device Manager.
  Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ FAT32\ CurrentControlSet \ Control\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Finally, you must restart the device.

• Pavilion dv7 cannot recognize the CD/DVD drive, no help support "assistant".

  Subject says it all.  Since I got this machine, it had problems when the CD/DVD drive becomes invisible and are not accessible by any means.  A reboot has solved in the past, but now, it doesn't seem to work more.  I would like to reinstall the drivers, but guess what, I don't know what kind of player, it is (funny how that works), and Support 'Assistant' is apparently ihcapable to understand the model of this Pavilion dv7 ("product name: loading...") ("now until the heat death of the universe), which does not help either.  Anyone has a better idea than just blindly install the drivers?

  Hello

  Drivers for CD/DVD drives comes with Windows (IE with the operating system - it is not the drivers you need to download).  The driver is located in C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\cdrom.sys.

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

  Windows 7

  Vista

  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.  Make a right click the drive (if it shows!) 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

  Vista

  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.

• have a lenovo G570 computer and recently lost the cd/dvd drive. What can I do to reinstall?

  The cd/dvd drive used to work properly. Now when I put a cd or dvd, it will not engage or start. I can hear him enter and try to start.
  When you click on my computer, the drive does not appear.
  Don't know how it disappeared. Could be that some Windows Update? or when I installed the new kaspersky (do not think that it was really a cause)
  Not a Moody person so don't know what else to do. I did go back and do a restore, but that did not help.
  Given that the drive does not work I can not use the original disk, I created when I got the computer. Computer is about 2 years old... maybe a little less.

  Oh, the only other possible cause I can think of is when I was wrong with my browser and load my att yahoo account. A representative of ATT spocked in my computer and worked behind the scenes to fix. Has they deleted my firefox and temporary files. Unfortunately I do not know exactly when I lost the cd/dvd drive. At this time, but I can't say for sure.

  Let me know if there is something other information that you may need to help solve the problem. Thank you!

  Moved the site feedback

  Try to scan your computer with RadarSync to find out if your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver is out of date or not. You can go for the free version. Once find you that it's really an outdated driver can cause the problem, then you can update the driver by searching in Google it or let the software do it for you.

  I hope this helps!

• The CD/DVD drive malfunction: one missing, the other does not work

  My HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop running Vista, came with a CD/DVD drive that appeared as a reader of CD (e) and (f) HD DVD player, with the hard drive and windows repair partition C: and D:.  There, the E: drive seemed to have disappeared, and it is the reader who would access it when I put a CD to read from.  The HD player never worked to this end and of course now that I only have the "F:" drive, and it tells me to insert a disc, despite the fact that there is a disc in there.  And I have no idea of what I did.

  I right click on the HD drive properties and go to the Hardware tab.  WDC (Buncha numbers) ATA device is listed as type of hard drives, and UTIHAX (even numbers) SCSI CdRom Device is listed as a DVD/CD-ROM drives drive (Yes, with the ').  Both work properly, according to the properties of the device.

  I tried to disable and re-enable the it.  I tried to uninstall and allow the pilot to resettle.  Nothing doin ' sofar, so I was wondering if any of you have any other ideas I could try.

  I'd love to hear them!  Let me know what you need.

  Suddenly, there is a problem, no response when I insert a disc and my divx player says me no recorder found.

  When I am looking in the Device Manager I get the message 'windows cannot load the driver for this hardware' (code 39) "driver is damaged or missing.

  Should I try the Toshiba Recovery Disc and lose a lot of that programs/files, as a last resort?
  Would this work?
  Anyone have any ideas?

  Hello

  You will need a compatible CD/DVD player.
  Not all readers are supported due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
  ODD, that uses wrong settings will not be recognized by the BIOS.

  You can buy a compatible player to a Toshiba ASP in your country.
  You can also consult your user manual.
  In my manual, I could find some information on the compatible sides
