Hello

19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

Having too much CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they load of parties
themselves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean this problem
has been caused by those, however, it is a possibility that and how much you
have installed. Uninstall those that, like iTunes, Nero, and others who might be the cause of
see if that helps.

    Hello

    1. Have you recently installed the CD/DVD drive?
    2. Are you aware of any changes made to your computer before this problem?

    A Code 19 error is caused by one or several problems with parts of the Windows registry that contains the driver and other information on the specific hardware device.

    Check the status of the device should be the first line of conduct, if you suspect that a particular device that is causing a problem, or if the device in Device Manager is marked with a yellow exclamation point.  It is also possible that the device is not compatible with this version of Windows.

    Below the thread responds to the question. I suggest you follow the instructions in the thread to solve the problem:

    Note:

    Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    Hello

    19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

    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

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    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.

    RESOLUTION
    Warning serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using the registry editor or by using another method. These problems may require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

    To resolve this problem, remove the affected filter drivers. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
    2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Be careful it can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must ensure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the default data value is the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and the class data value is CDROM.
    3. in the right pane, click UpperFilters, and then click on remove.
    4. click on Yes to confirm the deletion of the UpperFilters registry entry.
    5. in the right pane, click LowerFilters, and then click on remove.
    6. click on Yes to confirm the deletion of the LowerFilters registry entry.
    7. exit the registry editor and then restart the computer.
    Note When you delete the UpperFilters registry entry and the LowerFilters registry entry, you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall all of the programs involved. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor to determine if an update is available for the program.

    Original title:

    Windows 7 no sound at all

    Hello

    I would like to ask help for Win 7 problem 'No audio '.

    I have a Win 7 64-bit Professional desktop PC. It has a motherboard Asus P5Q - EM.
    Previously, everything worked very well over a year, but now there is no sound at all. I see a little red x in addition to the speacer icon.

    I got a craphics card problem and it has been replaced, and shortly after, I didn't notice that no audio problem.

    First of all, I tried to fix the external audio card drivers - no help. Then I thought to use the motherboard
    audio only and removed the external audio card. I have cheked Bios that there is audio compatible motherboard.
    Windows Manager device shows Audio Realtek High Definetion. (Once I reinstalled externally
    audio card, but did not get it to work and I deleted again and focused on getting the Audio motherboard
    work.)

    Through the Device Manager, I uninstalled the device Audio from Realtek motherboard and all other audio related devices and start the PC.
    After you start Windows 7 detects audio devices well and tries to install the drivers but still said the driver installation failed.

    I also used the troubleshooter in Windows 7. According to the material and audio, I clicked on the audio playback troubleshooting. The system has tried to install the drivers, but all have failed in similar way as after rebootig.

    When I go to see the Audio the Realtek High Defenetion properties, it says:
    Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

    I downloaded the latest drivers (some 54 Mb file called: 64bit_Vista_Win7_R267) Realtek www-site and run it, but no help. Same problem - no sound at all.

    If I run application system information and go to the "components" > "Problem Devices", it is said Realtek High Definition Audio, error code: failure using the VxD loader. It is also noted on the VAN Miniport (IKEv2), error code: this device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.

    I also unplug the beam of the motherboard front audio jack. I thought it may create a connector related issues, but he did not make a difference.

    If I ask the system to update the driver using Device Manager, it says that the piloted is up-to-date.

    I checked the details Realteck Sound Device in the Device Manager and it says under the number "Problem code" 13.

    Also other devices under device 'Video controls and sound game' managers do not work. I uninstalled all the. After reboot Windows 7 detects all the. Win 7 tries to install the drivers, but always fails and yellow! singing appears next to all devices.

    Under the NIC in Device Manager there is another device with the yellow! sign as well. The WAN Miniport (IKE v2). I don't know if it has something to do with this audio problem? Win 7 detects it as well after uninstalling and tries to install drivers after the start, but is also always fails.

    Now, I'm confused and I don't know if the problem is really in the Windows registry database? What is error code 13 of Realtek Audio device and what is actually the VxD loader problem?

    I'm completely lost on how to proceed with this problem.

    Can someone give advice on how to continue with this question...

  • HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NS07 ATA Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 39)

    See the question above.  Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    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 loose 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.

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

    Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
    are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
    ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
