drive CD/dvd stopped working after it by unplugging / plugging.

Hello. I use XP Pro and Lite-on DVDRW SHW-160P6S.

Recently, I unplugged to check another old drive I had and when I plugged in my Lite-On back inside, suddenly no longer works.

Device Manager will not display any errors. Uninstall and restart did nothing. Mr. Fix It says it found and corrected a few errors, but there is still a problem, he has been unable to solve.

I even reinstalled windows to see if that would help!

Cables are connected correctly. Everything is permissible and in working order and still he will not recognize all I put in the media.

Help?

  • My DVD/CD drive has suddenly stopped working under Windows 7

    Ive been using Windows 7 for about 6 months now with on any trouble until recently my DVD drive has suddenly stopped working. Windows detects the drive but when I double click on it in my computer it says please insert disc. I find the drive in Device Manager and windows recognises that there is an error that says:

    Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

    I tried to uninstall the drivers in Manager device and rebooted the computer to let auto windows find the driver and reinstall it but to start, I get a message that says:

    Device not installed driver software

    I know that the drive is fine because it works fine in Ubuntu Linux system he worked great in windows 7, so stopped. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Go to the Web site of the factory, download the driver appropriate for your device. Uninstall the driver that is currently installed and uninstall the device in Device Manager. Reboot... After you restart, you have 1 of 2 options depending on how the software is packed from the manufacturing. (A) put an end to the automatic Windows installation feature and use the downloaded software to take care of it for you... If that's how it is set up to operate or (b) wait for windows to auto-trouvez and try to install the device, and when he asked the pilots to open and extract files downloaded to any location you choose and point the installer of windows in this direction.

    My CD/DVGW stop working after you install the program iTunes with Apple records.

    Hello

    Having too many competing programs from loading at startup CD/DVD can cause these problems.

    Deleted? Or did you correctly uninstall iTunes? Check with iTunes support for complete hair removal methods.

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

    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

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

    Please send me some suggentions how to solve this problem.

    Thank you [email protected]

    Hello

    How did you notice this problem? You get an error message or something else?

    It's really hard to say why this happens, but first I would try to update the driver for the webcam. You can get the latest version on the Toshiba site:

    Install the latest version and try again.

    By the way: you run factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?

  • ScrollBar NB100 touchpad stops working after exit full-screen mode youtube

    I have some Toshiba laptops, satellite and now netbook100.

    All share a problem, the touchpad scroll bar:
    It stops working after you exit the full screen in youtube.
    Here's how to reproduce the incident:

    1. with the help of any mainstream browser, start playing a video on youtube, click on the button at the bottom right of the video full screen.
    2. click on [the cross] to exit full-screen. (next to button full screen.)
    3. check if you bar scroll that still work.
    4. a reboot will restore function.

    Currently I m on vista, I think that you will have the same problem under XP.
    The search in google (scroll touchpad bar stops full screen youtube) return more people will share the same question but no answer.

    Environments: win xp all, win vista all.
    All decks, Windows Update driver, updated touchpad driver.

    This is not a major technical problem, but for a netbook, it's very annoying.
    If anyone has this problem or answers, please share it here.

    Thank you in advance.
    Kind regards.

    To be honest, it's the first time I read on this issue.
    I m not a NB100 owner but I have a laptop and I m using IE as your browser and Windows XP.
    I checked this and my touchpad is not working correctly!

    I m wondering if this behavior would appear only the website youtube?  :|

  • Re: Satellite A80-135 - during recovery, that it stops working after 10 minutes

    After trying to reinstall Windows from original restore DVD my A80 stop working after 10 minutes of this.

    I tried again several times and the problem is the same. Cannot complete the installation, because is shut down every time after 10 minutes or more.

    Do you have any ideea why this phenomenon happens?
    Thank you!

    Hello

    You should check if the same issue occurs with another disc maybe you could try to reinstall the OS by using the original CD of Microsoft Windows.

    If installation still decomposes at the same point and time then this could be related to a recovery disk scratched.
    On the other hand the laptop could shuts down due to hardware problem.
    As mentioned by Luke, the internal HARD disk bad might work too.

    Overheating could be another reason why the laptop is off.
    Maybe don t cooling modules work as it should and puts it in internal temperature high power off the laptop.

    But these are that some suggestions so it would be really interesting to know if you can reinstall the OS using another disc

  • on dv6 fingerprint reader has stopped working after installing Norton 2012

    Fingerprint reader has stopped working after installing Norton Internet Security 2012 on both of my notebooks from HP.

    Product name: HP Pavilion dv6

    Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

    Error message in Device Manager under biometric devices in Device Manager displays an exclamation mark beside validity sensors (WBF) (PID = 0018). The following message is under the general tab: "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) ».

    Driver is present and seems to be up-to-date.

    Appreciate your help.

    I have finally isolated the problem of my software lack of HP dv6 fingerprint reader. I think Norton Removal Tool, available online at www.symentec.com/nrt, was the reason. I am sure this conclusion because the exact same problem occurred after I installed Norton Internet Security 2012 on laptop HP same as my wife. I tried, in vain, to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the biometric fingerprint device provided by Validity Sensors, Inc.

    After spending a day and a half to try to "solve" the problem, I decided to restore my system and go back to the prior agreement of the point of the installation of Norton. Thank you HP to make this process quick and painless. Don't forget that if you installed anything after the restore point, it will have to be reinstalled.

    Fortunately, there's a less intrusive on CD of Norton removal tool. This utility uninstalls an older version of Norton you are requested to restart and then installs the latest NIS. It is a method of removal safer that wide brush offered by the Norton Online link, which wipes everything remotely suspect.

    After reinstalling Norton Internet Security 2012 from the CD, everything works as it should, including the fingerprint reader.

  • Display driver igfx has stopped working and recovered

    While playing the sims 3 the screen goes usually black then back to the game. then it goes black again and the game will continue once again, the screen is much darker. the darkness of the screen comes and goes and seems to pass the game of light to dark. Sometimes my computer just hangs. After I quit the game, a message appears saying: "display driver igfx has stopped working and recovered." What should I do to stop these pranks of the screen?

    Floop51,
    Take a look at this post: what to post in the forum games and then give us the details of your system and the operating system.   Given that this error is indicating your graphics card you can uninstall\reinstall the most recent driver.  Then clean restart your system and test.  Check the specifications of your video against the requirements of the game card.  If your card is at the very least, you may need to lower the resolution of the game.

  • Keyboard stops working after you press caps lock.

    On a compaq laptop presario CQ60-300SO the keyboard stops working after you press the caps lock button. The keyboard does not work once the computer starts, but after going in under the keyboard properties control panel and press the 'OK' button, this will work. Buy keyboard works when the computer RECORDS, so I can't get to BIOS. The keyboard work until windows starts and I activate it via the properties of the keyboard by opening the window and press OK immediately. I tried updating the driver but I only find that the keyboard already has the most recent drivers. I tried to restore the drivers and that does not work either. I also disabled start all programs and services to see if it was a problem caused by a program or service and still no luck. It's a very strange problem. I noticed that the keyboard IRQ ranges are both 64-64 and 60-60, which i thought was weird but that's maybe normal. Any advice will be appreciated.

    Hello
    • What drivers are you trying to install?
    • What were the changes made before the problem occurred?

    I suggest you try to put your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  • Driver nvlddmkm has stopped working

    Hello people,

    I'm having a problem with my Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit and my video card drivers. Lets start with the specifications of the system:

    AMD Phenom Quad 2.3 ghz processor
    Corsair XMS 2, 2gig 800 mhz dual channel DDR2 (x 4)
    Card mother XFX 750 a
    Ultra X 3 modular PSU, 1000watts
    GPU GTX280 XFX in SLI (x 2)
    Map the auzentech X - Fi Prelude

    I've been running this PC in single GPU mode with only a GTX280 since January 2009. I didn't notice if yes or no result by adding the secondary GTX280 in May 2009, but the pilots were fault quite often lately and cause more problems than ever. I tried two cards individually, and they both seem to be functional. I've been on nvidia driver 185.85 when this problem started, and I am now under pilot 186.18.

    Here are the symptoms. Whenever I go back to my PC and remove the screen saver, I see an error message waiting for me in the form of a warning (bottom right of the taskbar) bubble warning me that the driver nvlddmkm has stopped working and successfully recovered. I also had a problem from my games once, each of them was riddled with snow/static on the screen, only heavy gaming GPU of course. This problem has been temporarily fixed by rebooting windows, but I also had snow on the screen while trying to watch a movie with Cyberlink PowerDVD 9, in a separate incident. Crysis has had the strange shadows in the graphic durning gameplay, but I tried to play again at a later date with no problems.

    After all that frustration, I tried reinstalling the drivers but was hit with a blue screen of death during the uninstall process. I tried to uninstall again, nothing serious has happened, so I reinstalled the driver nvidia 185.85. I always have the same messages on my task bar afterwards. Shortly after, nvidia has released their 186.18 driver which I installed it. I am always the same question, and this time I tried to play Far Cry 2 and the PC crashed after a few minutes. I played the game for over an hour before without incident, this problem seems quite random and inconsistent.

    I visited several forums online nothing helps. No one there seems to know the solution to this problem. Some of these forums are older than 2 years. Are microsoft and nividia both ignoring us? What is a single Vista problem?

    I've spent thousands of my hard earned money to build this dream PC and this little problem of driver throws all my efforts and money in the trash. I am frustrated beyond belief. Please help me.

    Senvae,
    This is a common problem, and more often the cause are associated with heat.  If you run a lot of power in a case with a single case fan, it is very possible that you have problems with heat.  Even though your graphics cards have their own heat sinks, you must still more air on this kind of material.  I'm sure that your motherboard supports temperature and voltage monitoring so you should be able to install a utility, if you don't have one already, that warns you when the temp or voltage gets beyond the normal limits.  Try to run with the case open to allow for more air flow and / or try to run with only one graphics card.  Both ways would reduce the build-up of heat inside the case.  There could be other causes, but the heat is a very common cause of this error.  Other than that, uninstall and reinstall the drivers, by disabling hardware acceleration, running with a barrette of RAM and disabling Aero Vista theme were all fixes for this error, if it depends on each system.

    Let us know if this information was useful or if you need further assistance.
