DVD not working not not (Windows 7)

• My CD/DVD burner does not work after installing Windows 7.

  Hello.

  I recently installed Windows 7 on my laptop (about 2 weeks ago), initially delivered with Windows Vista.

  The facility is perfectly, and I enjoyed the simplicity of the new operating system.

  Everything was going well for about 2 weeks.

  I was able to burn CDs and DVDs.

  But today, when my father asked me to burn a CD for him, Windows Media Player 12 says that I had to connect a burner and restart Windows Media Player 12.

  I restarted the program, which did not work.

  I restarted my computer, that didn't work.

  I uninstalled my CD/DVD burner drivers and reinstalled them back on and I thought that WMP12 had started working.

  But when I put the blank disc inside my laptop and started the burn, my computer gave me a message there was an error in burning the disc, and I had to close WMP12.

  When I got the farm, WMP12 and then tells me to connect a burner and restart the program.

  After that, I looked for the drivers online set to level, or to the bottom of the slope to.

  But none of them worked.

  After that, I talked with a HP technician who told me that it is better to stick to the pre-installed operating system that comes with a computer and not downgrade or upgrade manually.

  She also said that because my computer was made for Windows Vista, it was the compatible operating system for my internal hardware.

  It gives me no drivers or anything to install.

  I should have come to Microsoft first, because now I realize that HP has nothing to do with Windows 7.

  If Microsoft, I ask you:

  When you install Windows 7 on an original Windows Vista laptop and that your CD/DVD writer works for about a week, then it stops working...

  What should I do next to fix this? :(

  Please help ~!

  Hey Kyo - San,

  Given that the troubleshooter could not see the CD DVD drive, you can try to navigate to the following location in the registry editor and deleted the upper filter and lower filter keys and check if it helps you get the job of CD DVD player.

  1. click on Startand then click all programs.

  2. in the start menu search box type regeditand press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

  3. in the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  4. in the right pane, look for UpperFilters and UpperFilter key and select it.
  Note You can also see an UpperFilters.bak registry entry. You don't have to delete this entry. Click UpperFilters . If you do not see the UpperFilters registry entry, you may still have to delete the LowerFilters registry entry.

  5. on the Edit menu, click delete.

  6. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.

  7. exit the registry editor.

  8 restart the computer.

  Note: Sometimes, this problem is due to two Windows that have been corrupted registry entries. To resolve this problem, you must use the registry editor to delete the corrupted registry entries.

  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.

  For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, follow these steps in the KB Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/

  Jake

  Hey Jake,

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Follow these steps:

  (a) restart your computer if you have not already done so. There is always the possibility that the error Code 31 that you see was caused by a temporary problem with Device Manager. If so, a simple reboot can solve the Code 31.

  (b) have you install a device or a change in the Device Manager, just as the Code 31 error appeared? If so, it is very possible that the modification caused the Code 31 error.

  (c) cancel the change if you can restart the computer and then check again the error Code 31. Depending on the changes, some solutions may include:

  Remove or reconfigure newly installed unit.

  Restore a version prior to updating the driver.

  Use system restore to undo the Device Manager recent related changes.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

  (d) to remove the registry values filters upper and lower. A common cause of errors in Code 31 is the corruption of two registry values in the class of the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive registry key.

  Note: 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. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following link. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

  Method 2: Update the latest graphic drivers.

• Drive CD/DVD not visible in BIOS, Device Manager or Windows Explorer - only during the analysis of the system.

  Until a few days ago, this problem didn't exist - I know.  My CD/DVD drive is no longer recognized in Windows Explorer, BIOS or Device Manager.  It doesn't, however, appears briefly in Windows Explorer in the analysis of the security of the computer.  It allows to open/close, etc.  and when it is visible, I am able to open the drive and see the contents of the CD.  Then it disappears again.  The light flashes indicating that he works and I can hear it trying to read the CD.  I uninstalled iTunes because I read somewhere that this may have been the issue - but that didn't work.  I tried the system restore, registry cleaners, removal of upper/lower case filters from the registry, used the program Fixit found on the site Web of Microsofts etc and still no luck.  Any ideas?  The computer is a gateway SX2850 (?) with Windows 7 Home Premium installed.

  USB devices remove all you can - restart the computer - is still there, the error? If it isn't
  It is related to one of the add-in devices that you removed. If she is still there, then, the question is
  either a device internal who can not remove or physically with the USB bus itself.
  If it was not there, add devices at a time until it is displayed - keep in mind that it is
  possible that there are two (or more) devices in conflict over the issue. Once you
  identified the check of the aircraft with the help of the manufacturer.

  1. to find the control panel - device - device - right-click on it - uninstall - Manager then
  Restart the computer to see if it clears.

  2. same place - double click on the device - driver tab - driver update - to see if that helps.

  3. check with the support of system manufacturer (manufacturer of motherboard for customized systems), their
