Portege R700 - no autorun for CD/DVD and USB keys
In my Portege R700 there is no way to make autorun works (for key USB and CD/DVD as well). CD/DVD and USB keys work perfectely, but not the autorun.
I tried to use both the automatic repair of Microsoft and PowerToys, but the problem that it is still there. I also tried to change the registry, but it seems that the changes are not retained. I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
Can someone help me?Thanks in advance.
GerlandoHey,.
> I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
What utilities you have installed? Theoretically, they could block the autorunNormally if autorun doesn t work on XP, you can enable it in the Windows registry:
Start > run > regeditThe registry editor will open and go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / policies / Explorer
Double-click the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value and set the value of 91.Now he must navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Services / CdromDouble-click the AutoRun value and set the value to 1.
Now restart your computer and try it again, usually autorun should work again.
Additionally, make sure that the latest Service Pack is installed for XP (SP3). -
DVD - RW DVR-K17LF for the Satellite series does not read DVD but only to CD
Hello
I have a serious problem with my DVD player.
He stopped to work. I mean, he's not reading CD but not DVD discs.
I don't know what the problem is.I went on the internet and found no solution.
Please help me.
It is not a software problem, because my laptop does not start the DVD, but due to the CD...Hello
The issue could be linked to the anomaly of the player's laser lens.
Maybe the lens can not handle the DVD because of a physical constraint.
In most cases, the lens can not calibrate properly and therefore different media would not work.
In this case there is not much to do in most of the cases that the drive needs to be replaced.But maybe you could try to clean the drive s laser lens using a cleaning professional who could be bought from the other computer dealers.
I don't very well if this will help but it s worth to try mPS: Try this:
Remove the drive from Device Manager, access the registry and remove the filters top and bottom of this key;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}Then restart the laptop and check the functionality of s by car.

ATAPI DVD A DH16AYH ATA Device read DVD but not CD
Engraver of CD/DVD in Compaq Presario 5010NX w / VistaBasic read any DVD but has problems with CD if I insert a music CD, sometimes it will open right and I can play music. Most of the time he just tells me to "insert a disc", usually open the status bar, but not always. If I close the drawer [or eject and close the tray] from 3 to 15 times, he finally opens the CD. Generally. Sometimes I drop and open it on my old computer Millennium, [which never fails to open the CD]. I bought a cleaning disc, but it still happens. Also, it stopped opening the tray with the manual key (1,200 works tent) and will always open with 'Eject' of the computer, but only with DVD and sometimes will open with the "eject" computer with the CD never if it is empty, so I always keep a known disc "opener" in the status bar. (if I forgot, I use a paper clip)
I did an online search of the Device Manager for a driver update and he told me that the best software is already installed. I just need a new burner? Why is - that it will work with DVD CD not? driving me crazy. Thank you ps can not find a burner mfgr. says simply "drive SuperMulti DVD with Lightscribe" - pps I tried uninstalling the Device Manager, and then restart the computer - no change. Haven't tried the support.microsoft.com/gp/cd_dvd_drive_problems diagnostic program no solution I came across a post from someone else who had the same problem [former position & 'uninstall & reboot' was the only suggestion on this one.] I can't believe that it could be physical burner... why he wouldn't hesitate to read the DVD if it was a physical problem? Help?

Readers to use and this intermittent problem can be caused by wear.
You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
correctly.Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.
Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.
CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.Several good info here:

I lost my CD of vista window. but his key... is there anyway I can download it install it n
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

DVD/CD drive will read DVD but not CD
My DVD player plays DVD but not CD. Whenever I try to play a CD, the player is a kind of hum noise. Finally, the Player opens and a popup tells me to insert a disc.

tried a Firmwareupdate for the reader? At this address you can get the latest update if it is not already:

Satellite A100 PSAA9A - can read DVD BUT not CD with Windows XP
I use a satellite A100 PSAA9A computer laptop and I started having trouble with the CD/DVD drive. It was working fine until yesterday when he decided not read no matter what CD I get the message asking me to insert a disc, when there is a CD in the drive. It still reads DVD good.
I don't know if he has anything to do with the download of the updates of Windows XP because the troubl seems to start after I did.
Is there somewhere in the creation for the player who controls this? Also when I run the troubleshooting test it always ignores the test of this drive.
I'd appreciate any help.
See you soonOptical drives, DVDS, has some different faces to work with CD and DVD, but objective and optics are the same. He had arrived, when in one two heads become a dust or something else. I thing that you must visit the Service and your disk cleanup. But do not use a cleaning disc!
PS. Windows updates, as and OS, are not issues.
Make sure it's easy - attempt to start bootCD (not BootDVD) with anyone by pressing F12 at startup. If the running machine - it's Windows, if not - DVD player.
