  Original title: BD - rom drive

  My Cd drive does not open. I even sent it back to the factory to get the engine replaced and it used to always open. And if it opens, it read any disk. What should I do? Can I open the player through my laptop instead of hitting the button on the outside?

  Hello Jayde,

  You can look for a tiny hole on the draw draw in which insert a paper clip to manually eject the CD player draw. Follow these steps and check if that helps.

  Step 1: Open Windows Explorer, right-click on the drive icon and choose the option to eject it. If it is ejected from your CD-ROM drive tray, button on the hard drive is faulty and it is recommended to replace the disk.

  Step 2: Also boot in the BIOS and check if you can eject the CD by pressing eject CD player if the problem persists then drive is defective.

  Warning of the BIOS:

  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Step 3: I suggest to start in safe mode and check if you are facing a similar question:

• Satellite L500-126-CD/DVD drive does not open very well unrolled

  Hello

  I just got my second Satellite L500-126.
  I traded my first for a new because the ESCAPE key got stuck sometimes and made a grinding sound.

  Now, with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very well unrolled and 2 bars of silver metal bit come out with the car when I open it.
  Is this normal?

  Also, when I close the dvd player, I hear a little noise "ping!"
  Like a spring, or something. Is that also normal?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I'm not quite sure what you mean by 2 small bars of silver, but the reader of my laptop s contains two metals (runners, railway).
  This is normal and these pieces are important to ensure that the drive can eject properly and could remain in a good position.
  Still, you will hear a short click Open and close the drive.

  So I guess it's ok.

• CD drive does not open on the hard drive of the computer.

  Original title: on my hard drive DimensionE521 the CD-Rom drive does not open.  He starts to and then stops. The computer says it's OK? Help?

  I had this problem and another time after playing with him for days, all of a sudden it just opened.  There is nothing in the drive - I'm sure of.  Everyone has to experience this problem.

  Hello Nannytosix,

  If you look very close to the door of the CD player, you will probably see a small hole somewhere around him.

  What you need to do is unfold a paper clip and push it in the hole and it should open the CD drive manually.

  I encourage you to consult the manual to check this.

  Best regards

• Disk Defragmenter does not open in Windows 7

  Since I started using Norton, Disk Defragmenter does not work and my computer is very slow. How can I me Defrag to work and to speed up my computer?

  There are 2 issues here:

  1 Defragmenter does not
  2 PC is slow.

  If the disk is very fragmented, it can cause the PC to run poorly, so let's handle defrag first and then we can look at the additional steps to speed it up.

  There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

  1. the disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

  2. the disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:
  a. open "My computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.
  b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.
  c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.
  d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

  (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

  3. There may be malware on the PC
  Solution - run the Antivrus, then Antispyware scans (can take a long time if ever made. Be patient):
  a. analysis of the entire system with the anti-virus & manage everything that exists;
  b. analysis of the entire system with Anti-Spyware & manage everything that exists;

  4. Disk Defragmenter can be altered, needing a system restore to fix it. Solution:

  a. start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore (click here to open);
  b. Select a good restore point before you start having problems with Disk Defragmenter.
  c. start the restore process and let an end (descriptive name of something restore operation as "Repair Defrag").

  5. There are other programs that run the Defragmenter interruption integrated. Solution:
  a. close all running programs.
  b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.
  c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and
  d. Select "start Task Manager".
  e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

  6. If still no luck, try disabling the screen saver when you run Disk Defrag (you should very well leave the system only when running the built-in defragmentation utility).

  7. If still no go, try to run the defragmenter in Mode without failure. If she runs, something interferes with it in standard mode and stalking the interference may not be easy. Note: Some versions of Windows 7 disables the ability to run the Defragmenter built-in in safe mode. If disabled, it will say when you try to start it in safe mode.

  8. Disk Defragmenter may no longer be on the system or is damaged while it needs a re - install. Solution: Reinstall the built-in function.

  There are several ways to re - install the built-in Defragmenter:

  A:
  a. open the menu 'start '.
  b. type '% Windir%\Inf' in the 'Search' box and press 'Enter '.
  c. in the window that opens, find the file named "dfrg.inf.
  d. right-click on "dfrg.inf" and "install".

  B:
  a. go into "start > run" on your computer.
  b. Type "rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132% windir%\inf\dfrg.inf" and press "Enter."
  3. click 'OK' to make the program automatically reinstall itself.

  C:
  a. go to start > all programs > Accessories > right click on command prompt > select 'run as administrator '.
  b. at the command prompt, type "regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll" and press "enter."
  c. type 'regsvr32 dfrgui.dll' and press 'Enter '. This will reinstall the missing Defragmenter files.

  Most of the problems will be resolved in #6 above, but if not and if your windows installation is otherwise works well, consider downloading a free trial of a commercial defragmentation tool rather than the drastic measures to restore the frame-s functionality.

  Third-party programs are more robust and many work in the background, so you can use your PC during defragmentation.
  Most third party programs offer a free, fully functional trial (better ones are for 30 days). Install one of them allows you to disable built-in and if you decide to uninstall, removal will replace the built-in function, repaired several times in the process: it's worth a try...

  9 here is a recent Top 10 comments side-by-side comparison of the best available defragmentation programs:

  http://Disk-Defragmenter-software-review.TopTenReviews.com/

  a. Select a program and install it. The best defrag programs are automatic and the top placers in the foregoing analysis can defragment everything using the PC. Place it at the top of the page was the only defragmentation program preventing fragmentation (see comment).
  b, readers to defragment your drive.

  The PC should improve speed, as the above steps are performed. Here are additional steps to optimize PC for speed:

  10. make sure that your PC has as much memory (RAM) as possible.
  Solution - Know how much RAM your PC:
  a. go to start > right click on 'Computer' > properties
  b. this list the type of processor and speed and how much RAM is installed, and what version of windows is running and the Service Pack. Sign it, because it may be necessary later.
  c. search your PC name and model # followed by 'memory' and see what is listed. This tells you what type of memory you need and how many "Sticks" your PC will accept.
  d. get the maximum amount of memory your computer can contain and install it. Search for "how to install memory on one (your model name and #)" to find videos on how to do this if necessary.

  11. make sure that the registry is clean.
  Solution: Get and run a good registry cleaner.
  a. check to see if there is a registry cleaner already in the system;
  b. otherwise, download CCleaner here: http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/
  c. run the registry cleaner until he finds and corrects any errors.

  Note: Be careful with registry cleaners as there are many autour with new ones coming all the time with some would have been causing more damage than they help. Use a proven reliability.

  CCleaner is one of the originals and very safe.

  Once all this is done, your PC will be in the best possible shape.

  Good luck and let us know if you have any questions (ask your questions and I will then answer best I can).

  PS: If after all that, the PC is still not doing well, repair may involve repairing the windows installation and possibly re - install windows itself. These aren't simple solutions. If so, indicate if and guidelines can be provided.

• Satellite L350 - CD/DVD drive does not open

  I have a new laptop, less than a month, but his habit of CD/DVD tray open by pressing eject button. Eject-do a right-click on its icon does not open it no more.

  There is no disc inside, it is visible in the BIOS, no sign of a driver problem in Device Manager. I tried reinstalling the driver, but that didn't help.

  Any solution for this problem would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Hi inecro,

  If the CD/DVD drive doesn t open more I think that you can do anything in this case.

  I can only confirm what writes Akuma. You need to replace the CD/DVD drive and you get a new from an authorized service provider. If your laptop is under warranty you can get a new one for free.

  I had the same problem a few months ago. EPA has replaced the CD/DVD drive in a few days and I come back my laptop. Very fast service and the technicians are friendly. :)

  You need to replace the CD/DVD/RW drive, it's broken.

  DVD SATA drives are cheap, available for $20.

• Adobe AIR - creates disk image does not open

  Hi, I am trying to create a dmg file and does not open the image file. I work on a Mac and it's not the first time that I do this.

  The error message when I open the disk image is "Suite of disk image can not be opened" and the reason "not recognized".

  It's really weird, because it used to work and now for some reason any ceased. First I thought that it could be, because I compiled with the new SDK 4.0, but then I tested it with older SDK as 3.5, 3.8 and 3.9 and the problem persists. Old projects that worked fine also are no more building disk images.

  My system was 10.8 and I thought that the problem could disappear if I install the new Mavs, but after upgrading the problem is still there.

  Repair disk permissions and the file did not help also.

  Anyone has any idea what it could be? I'm really at the end of my knowledge.

  Thank you very much

  OK people, finally found the problem. I use FDT and for some reason, FDT stopped to add the indicator -target native when compiling a native installer. I think that certain day FDT introduced this bug.

• folder on the external drive does not open in a new window

  on iMac OS 10.10.5, when I open a folder (by double-clicking) on an external drive, the folder does not open in a new window, but in a window that replaces the window that was opened.  I looked for a system setting that controls this (in system PREF), but I couldn't find anything useful.

  If you control - click the folder there is an option to open in a new tab. I don't know of anyway to set up in system preferences.
