Drivers/hardware

My CD/DVD drive is not reading my DVD.  How can I reinstall this driver if the CD player does not work?

Hello

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
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

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

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

http://www.myce.com/storage/

Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

  • Question about drivers (hardware manufacturer vs toshiba drivers)

    Is it better to use the drivers supplied by toshiba (nvidia, synaptics,...) or should I install it from the official hardware manufacturer as they have newer drivers than the toshiba site.

    Generally the drivers of Toshiba page should be used because these drivers are tested by Toshiba.
    For example, the Toshiba display driver supports some kind of overheating protection and reduce clock down the GPU so the temperature would be too high in this case the performance for a short period, but that would lower the temperature as far as I know, that don t chip manufacturers drivers are supported by this feature
    So the use of these drivers is at your own risk

    However, you can install drivers page maker Synaptics. There is no risk.

  • update drivers, hardware, software, etc


    I have a Dell equipment as well.  You must create an account on Dell.com and enter the code "Service Tag" here in your list of systems.   "Service Tag" of your computer is on a sticker outside your laptop, usually on the merits of the case.  Then configure your laptop as your 'system default'.  And then you can go to "Downloads & drivers" for your specific systems.  You will find the latest drivers of network, cable and wireless and the latest version of the BIOS, etc.  You need to update to the latest BIOS for your specific system and if it is updated network/wireless drivers there, install those as well.

    Through bad experiences, I found that it is not a good idea to take the network and drivers wireless Microsoft Update, only get them like I said above Dell's.  On the other hand, if you have not all AOCS and the security updates, you must install from Microsoft Update.  Looks like you have already done this.

  • Install the missing drivers after cleaning to Windows 7 from XP

    Hello. I have a custom computer I upgraded from xp to Windows 7 Home Premium. Everything worked perfectly before the upgrade. After the upgrade, my multimedia card, PCI, has stopped working and The Geek Squad, nor the built-in convenience store could find the drivers for it. It says "code OxC004C008 and 28 for the NTativrv01". then another message said: "PCI simple communications controller - no driver; then "Mlti-media conroller does not have a pilot.  appreciate any help I can get. Thank you

    1 a helpful to take before step same you've solved these problems is to create two alternative accounts protected by password Admin-level.

    • Accounts of users & their safety are taken much more seriously in Windows 7 so the tricks we learned under XP can not help us any more.
    • [No matter what account can suffer from corruption of the profiles user and if it's your main account and you have no spare Admin account to access the system, then you have a serious problem that we are not even allowed to advise you in this forum other than to suggest a complete reinstall of Windows 7].
    • If you have these two alternative accounts then, because they are rarely used, they are less likely to suffer from the corruption that is in use.
    • So even if you have problems in your account you can then log in as one of them and solve the problem.
    • You must write the passwords and ensure the safety of the sheet of paper.  You could do 'Password' reset disks instead, but they are not more effective than a piece of paper and they will also have to be stored somewhere in the place safe.

    2. did you run the Windows 7 compatibility checker before the upgrade?  You can start now and its results will always help you.  See Windows 7, 8.1, 10 compatibility tests for Windows XP, Vista - WiKi

    3 then see where to find the hardware drivers to treat your problems with your multimedia controller etc.

    4 once you get these things sorted, then you want to probably ensure that you get a Windows 10 forced update before you're ready - see disable Windows 10 improvement and ignore someone who starts to tell disable you updates specific Windows or turn off Windows update itself because it's all nonsense.

    5 like many of us when we arrived first of XP, you reach not used 'images of the system' which is worth doing as soon as you have a system worth preserving - so you probably want to turn it off until you have fixed your problem with drivers hardware.

    • You can make an image of the system in less than half an hour.
    • You can restore an image system in less than half an hour and thus replace problems based on software, including problems of drivers, who have appeared on your computer.
    • Search for create a system image using Windows to get an introduction to & use,
    • Then go into Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], Backup & Restore for the link on the left side to create a system image to run the utility.
    • Note that you should not make the system repair disc which will find references to your Windows 7 installation disc can do what a system repair disc can [etc.].
    • Target the most convenient & reliable to record images of system on is an external hard drive.  An image of the system does not have the external hard drive to any target, so it can also be used for other purposes such as the storage of your current file backups.
    • Rewritable DVD is not as reliable and you need several whenever you made a new image.
    • Utility of third to party system images can be better that the built-in Windows utility I use Acronis TI which has a very good reputation.  Macrium Reflect free edition also has a good reputation.  But you can start with the built-in utility, and then you worry about the alternatives later.

    All the best,

    Denis

  • A few questions about the installation of the Intel Chipset drivers

    Out of curiosity... and I know that this may sound like a stupid question... Lets say you have installed chipsets Intel first you're supposed to do... then you install the rest (Management Interface Intel, graphics, SATA, Audio, network and all other driver updates required).
    What happens when 6 months later, a newer version of the Intel Chipset Software becomes available?
    !. Install you or not?
    2. If you do not install a version more recent Intel chipsets don't you then have to install all your drivers hardware ((Interface de gestion Intel, graphics, SATA, Audio, réseau) again? IE does affect the previous drivers you may have installed in a recommended installation order.) I'm asking this is because I know its critics that the Intel Chipsets are installed before anything else and Im not 100% sure why, but I have a good idea.
    A newer version of the Intel Chipsets would affect all previous hardware drivers that you have installed or would it just make new chipsets more compatible with all new devices you might install in the future without interfering with previous drivers for any hardware that you have already installed?
    Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. Im just trying to better understand how to work the Intel Chipsets

    Hi Delboy777,

    To answer your questions;

    1 Yes

    2 NO.

    For the initial installation of the operating system, chipset driver allows the OS to recognize the best material. But the chipset driver update doesn't impact no other drivers, even if it can improve compatibility.

  • HP 15-5020ca omen: Omen HP 15-5020ca freezes from time to time

    Hello
    I have a problem with the gel for laptop. It happens every 15-60 minutes and it hangs for 10-15 seconds. During this time the computer does not respond. After this, he worked as usual until it happens again. In the system event log, there are still two events added after each move:

    Storahci, ID 129
    \Device\RaidPort0, restore the device, has been published.

    Disc ID 153
    The operation of e/s to the logical block address * for disk 0 (the PDO name: \Device\00000035) was retried.

    This occurs during normal use of the computer, which means opening some applications, watch movies etc.

    My laptop is guaranteed, so I contacted the service the customer of HP in Poland. After spending 2-3 hours on the phone trying to get help from consultants and to perform various actions such as reinstalling operating system, updating drivers, hardware tests, they decided to send mail and fix it by themselves. The first time, it took a week and the only thing they did was reinstall operating system... The second time they replaced the motherboard (at least they say, it has been replaced) and reinstalled the operating system. The problem still exists, and in my opinion they don't know what they are doing. After 4 months, faced with the question, I lost $2300, my patience and lots of time. Quo vadis HP?

    Help much appreciated.

  • OfficeJet j4680 State there is no scan option

    My printer is correctly installed and the message scan is no. OPTIONS ANALYSIS

    Hi JZ,.

    You can't have the 'base' installed printer.  For easy and full of scanning options, you need the 'full package', that is, the software feature complete for this printer.

    If you can not get the software of full functionality for your operating system, you may be able to use Windows Fax and Scan.  It's primitive compared to other options, but at least it works.  The feature is available on Windows 7.

    Be aware that sizes for the full feature software download can be very important (about 110 MB approximately 390 MB)-take this into account if you have a slow internet connection.

    I have included below the instructions you need (and more):

    ====================================================================================

    Install the printer driver / software

    If your printer doesn't work anymore (and this isn't a hardware problem), it may be because of software or driver issues.  There are tools to help you diagnose the problem and help documents to guide you to success.

    You might just want extra features for your printer, or need additional tools to help the scheduled maintenance.

    In many cases, you can (re) install the full features software for your printer to improve its capabilities.  The HP Solution Center is an integral part of the FFS.  For e-print, you can e-print software.

    If you have the CD that came with your printer, use it to install the printing software.  If you do not have the CD, or if the software on the CD is outdated, you can use the installation online tools.

    (Re) install the driver software HP printer full-functionality or other basic software for your printer:

    Drivers hardware order connected to the computer (wired or wireless).

    Software control programs that interact with the user.

    • Go to the top of the forum page for

      Support home

    • Enter your printer model informationand then go to the drivers and software...
    • Enter your operating system from the menu drop-down...  Click NEXT and scroll down
    • Find the category driver - software product installation
    • Select the appropriate basic pilot, e-print, or the full functionality of the software, if applicable
    • Save the installation on your computer package *.exe

    Optional:

    • Find the category utility-Diagnostic tools
    • Select "HP Print and Scan Doctor" - save the package on your computer.
    • NOTE name and location the file when you save the file (s).  The *.exe files will save probably for the "folder"downloads. "
    • Install the software / driver installation package (s).  Install utilities first, as appropriate.
    • If you have control of "Admin", you can highlight the package and "double-click on ' to install it, otherwise just right-click, select"Run as Administrator"and install.

    NOTES:

    • Download and install the driver software before connecting the USB cable.
    • Once installation is complete, remember to check and install the relevant updates - check the category - updated

    Sometimes there is a lot of information on the Web site, including manuals, how-to pages and alerts for your printer.  Be sure to take a comprehensive look at what's available.

    @fuzzbalz:

    That some people have reported, is that, by going in the settings of the BIOS on the main tab, by changing the Advanced setting at the base, their features returned.

    If this is not the same for the BIOS settings, or if that doesn't work, you can try to use the synaptic website touchpad drivers: http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php

    some application that I use Don t support windows vista so I decided to install xp and I understand that I don't have drivers for xp.

    Is - any way to get it?

    Hello

    Unfortunately there is no official driver of toshiba, so you're out of luck. You can now do the following:

    1. search in this forum for users who may have the same problem, that some of them already selected drivers hardware manufacturers (AMD, ATI, etc...)
    2. you can dig on your own in the WWW for pilots
    3. you can wait until toshiba releases some official drivers

    Otherwise, I have no more options that I could offer you. I had the same problem with my Satellite A100 a few months ago, but they have released drivers for my machine and now everything works like a charm. :)

  • When the Korg driver will work with El Capitan?

    A few months ago The Art Of Sound, published a list of audio tools and drivers that are not compatible with El Capitan with the advice "do NOT upgrade to 10.11 until you have confirmed that all your external drivers/hardware and 3rd party software/plugins are compatible with 10,11 El Capitan"

    I've been on El Capitan for some time, and today I brought a Korg DS - DAC - 100 m. After installing the driver my Mac (and my son's Mac) Korg crash every time that we plugged the DAC.

    Given that we exchanged in El Capitan three months before buying the Korg DAC, what should we do? They are about to release the drivers? How would we know?

    They are about to release the drivers? How would we know?

    It sounds like a question from Korg.

    Unless you find another user here who recently contacted Korg, nobody here knows the answer to this question.

  • No Audio output device is installed (Windows 10 64 bit, HP Pavilion 500 series)

    Model number: 500-007 a

    Operating system: 10 64-bit Windows

    Description of the problem: no sound.

    Hello

    I came from TenForums forum, hoping to find a solution to the problem of noise from my office.

    Status of the solution of the problem is at: http://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/45369-no-audio-output-device-installed.html

    When I move my cursor on the audio icon on the corner at the bottom right of the screen, the message of the index says "no Audio output device is installed". By clicking on the audio icon so that windows are trying to solve the problem will not solve the problem.

    In Device Manager, I have 2 "High definition audio controller" that display a yellow "!" mark on them. Both controllers are on the devices tab of system.

    As you can see in the picture above, there is no tab "audio, video controller and game."

    How can I get my sound back?

    Thank you.

    You are the very welcome.

    What worries me is that your device manager does not have the IDT HD audio listed under sound video and game controllers Device Manager.

    Normally, when you install W10, the IDT HD audio device is in the list, and it just doesn't work.

    You can try reinstalling W10 and see what happens.
