Driver has stopped reading discs

The DVD RW drive on my computer (Vista SP2) has stopped reading & grateful discs. When I put a disc, the green light flashes for a few seconds, then nothing. When I double-click the drive in 'My Computer', the Player automatically opens & I get an error message: "insert a disc. Please insert a disc into drive D ".

When I looked at the driver through the Device Manager, he told me that the HL-DT-ST DVD RAM GIA-HSSN ATA device work properly. When I clicked update, it told me that the latest version of the software was already installed. Roll Back Driver was not available. I uninstalled the driver and then rebooted my machine. The driver was reinstalled, but still did not work. I did a sfc scan, who told me that there is no integrity problems. Any ideas on the course of action to take to solve this problem would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    you mean that the external hard drive does not work too? Some software blocking your disks?

    I think that the best way to check if your internal drive still works would try to start with a bootable CD (perhaps with a live linux distribution on it) and to try this with the external hard drive also.

    If you're really a software that prevents the drive work properly, then you should recover your machine with the recovery media to make the drive work again properly.

  • Satellite A40: drive has stopped reading the CD & DVD discs

    Does anyone know why my CD/DVD combo drive has stopped reading discs (CD and DVD). The light blinks for a while then stays on but nohting happen after that. No prompt to ask to see WMP or real player etc. Nothing at all.

    Hi André,.

    Normally, this occurs if the optical drive cannot read the titles of the index on the CD. It does this so that the built-in firmware allows to identify the disc type and recalibrate the lens as a result.

    It might, however, be something simple as having the 'autoplay' feature to take no measure for that when a disc is inserted in the optical drive will be re - calibrate the lens and then not start any software to actually read the disc.

    Try to insert a disc and then open 'My computer' and check if the optical drive is displayed. If this is the case, then try the "Explorer" (right-click on the icon). If you receive an error indicating that the disk is not accessible or the disc cannot be read, then it is likley that you have a faulty drive.

    Kind regards

    Hello
    This is not an answer to your question but can solve the problem if it is the same that I had.
    In my case, the drive tries to spin but it slips. Only the motor shaft rotates and the drive remains at low revolutions that were not even stationary.
    The problem was caused by the fact that the plastic part (black color) of the mechanism which engages the disc (CD or DVD) slips on the
    motor drive, axle and th couldn't do a full rotation or runs at the specified speed.
    The solution is to delete the article in plastic and put a small amount of super glue on the axle and then put it back.

    Where there is a similar issue, I hope that solve you it like I did.

    OK, I have a Satellite Pro A10, recently it is just stopped reading discs completely! Ive got no idea what wrong with and do not know if you need to replace? I prefer not too.

    If anyone has any advice on repairing it I would appreciate it. If not if anyone knows if there any compatible DVD readers writing? also the best place to buy?

    Help, please!

    Hello

    This does not sound well :( I think it could be a hardware problem maybe something wrong with the lens of the drive
    Anyway, usually it of not possible to fix these issues or it s not worth repairing, because the costs are too high
    Thus, it seems that you need to replace. But be careful. Not all readers are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings.
    I would recommend so contact the ASP in your country to get a compatible drive.

    But please try this proposal;
    Sometimes, the Player cannot read the Middle due to the incorrect registry key.

    As a follow-up, I would recommend removing the reader of CD/DVD of the crèche of the device a restarting the laptop.
    The Windows operating system should recognize the new device (ODD) and should load the drivers again.

    Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    First of all, you're not telling the forum what version of Windows, edition and service pack level your system is running.  Please do.

    Secondly, there is no describe your system.  Tell us who makes your system and its model, if a packaged system.  If not packed, please tell us who manufactured your motherboard and model.  If your video card is another box and not originally shipped with the system, please tell us the manufacturer and model of the adapter.

    Finally and most importantly, please read 555375 Microsoft Knowledge base article, how to ask a question.

    Now, in general, unless your system has a card mother Intel®, you do not want to download an updated directly from Intel® driver.  If there is a system, you will want to download an update of the driver support from the manufacturer of your system model site.  If not packed, see web site for support of the manufacturer of the motherboard for your updated driver model.  If this isn't the case, a card mother Intel®, the reason for the not to load the Intel® GMA 3150 drivers from the web site Intel® is that there may be unhandled in the Inte® base drivers implementation changes.  Nor should download the drivers through Windows Update, except as a last resort.  If Windows Update contains an updated driver, check you motherboard of the system/website of the manufacturer for updates.  Be aware that some manufacturers/motherboard of the system (e.g. Dell) don't feel any economic incentive to keep the drivers/firmware to update if a motherboard system was abandoned.

  • display driver has stopped working and recovered

    In my laptop, I get a message from the display driver has stopped working and my screen goes black and crash suddenly

    Details of my laptop are
    Compaq 620
    Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit
    Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T6570 2.10 GHz
    Display map Mobile Intel(r) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
    Hitachi HTS545032B9A300 ATA Device driver
    Display Mobile PC screen 1366 * 768

    Help, please

    I would start by removing the current driver and installing the latest driver available.  (yours is 5 years old)

    "It is not a true crash, in the sense that the blue screen was launched only because the combination of material and video driver video was to be insensitive and not because of any exception processing synchronous".

    Since Vista, the components of "Timeout detection and recovery" (TDR) of the subsystem video OS have been able to do some really impressive things to try to find issues that would have led to the earlier OS like XP to crash.

    As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends a video driver command "Please restart you now!" and wait a few seconds.
    If there is no answer, the BONE concludes that the combo of driver/hardware video has really collapsed in a heap, and it fires at this stop 0 x 116 BSOD.

    If playing with video driver versions did not help, make sure that the box is not overheated.
    Try to remove a side panel and a fan of big sector directly to the motherboard and GPU.
    Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to check whether the cooler temperatures make a difference.

    If so, it could be as simple as dust accumulation and inadequate cooling afterwards.

    I download cpu - z and gpu - z (both free) and keep an eye on the video time

    Rare Hi

    This message is certainly created by the installed graphic card driver.
    I can't say for sure why this happens, but I recommend you to reinstall the graphics driver.
    In most cases, this should fix problems with gambling.

    Hello

    If I understand your ad very short: you got a message that the display driver has stopped or has crashed and recovered again.
    Right?

    Maybe a new display driver installation would help sort this problem. ?
    I recommend you to uninstall the previous driver.
    Clean the system using CCLeaner (or other 3rd party tool)
    Restart the unit, download, and finally install the latest version of the display driver for your model of laptop. Restart the unit.

    From time to time it happens on my P500 too but especially if I look at a Web page with flash player but after driver recover everything is OK again.
    To be honest, I don't see it as a major problem.

  • Re: Qosmio X 500 - video driver has stopped responding

    Hi people,

    Recently (2 weeks ago) I started having some slight problems with my X 500, to be more precise Windows sometimes reports that the driver has stopped responding, but managed to restarted. When this happens the screen goes black, flashes several times and turns back on. But the strange thing is that this happens when the laptop has been used for MS Word/Excel/IE and high intensity graphic has been past nothing since he has been powered.

    My first thought was to update the drivers, since Toshiba downloaded the new nVidia ones a few weeks ago, but the problem persists. So I was wondering if anyone else had similar problems and what would be the best way to solve it? Would it be possible that something is wrong even with the gpu itself?

    Hi Snowy161_1,

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago and the solution is pretty easy: update the display driver. I removed the current version and restarted the laptop. Then I used CCleaner to remove the keys in the Windows registry and restarted again. Finally and most importantly, I downloaded and installed the new display from here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    By the way: the original windows from Toshiba installed at the moment?
