    Hello

    The Microsoft page provides information about error code 22

    * This device is disabled. (Code 22) *.
    _Recommended resolution_
    + Activate the device using Device Manager. +
    + In Device Manager, click Action, and then select device. Starts the Enable Device Wizard. Follow the instructions. +

    Looks like you have already tired it. Well, in your case I would recommend removal of the CD/DVD drive from the list of devices in Device Manager. Mark simply the unit a press to remove.

  • DVD player stopped working

    My DVD on my Dell Inspiron 1545 drive stopped working about 9 months ago.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the program twice and nothing ever changes. I also did test problems, and nothing shows. What can I do about it? Help, please!

    If you are referring to the DVD player... it can have a
    material issue and needs to be repaired or replaced.

    If it's just a software issue... the free VLC Media software
    Player may be worth a try... it will play anything.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

  • My cd dvd drive stopped working

    Thursday, my cd dvd drive was working fine.  Today, I tried playing a cd and my player does not recognize the discs I insert.  I can't reinstall my driver because the drive does not work.  When I run the diagnostic it says everything is fine.  Where can I find the driver online to re - install?


    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.

  • Error message: MS office click-to-run stopped working and laptop keep freezing.

    I have a Samsung laptop, RV515 (1.65 GB and 4 GB of RAM, 500 GB) running on Windows 7 and MS Office 2007 Academic.

    I got the message 'not only respondents' for a long time, but they became more frequent, especially in Internet Explore but then also in Google chrome and Word. Then, I installed MS office 2013 and updated Norton in the same week and got a lot more message "not responding". I also downloaded a program that converts Youtube videos in files.  So I defragmented which took about 14 hours and a complete analysis of the system, which was another 9 hours. The laptop was faster that he had never been but then after a few days started to freeze in almost all programs. CLT-alt-del screen stopped appearing. I did a lot of system and controls maintenance, who says super fetch couldn't run, but everything else was okay. I tried a number of time to start to look great but every time I check it is said that it will not start.

    My Norton live-view disappeared at the same time I downloaded the Youtube converter (see above) so I deleted Norton in safe mode and rebooted, but it didn't reappear. Then, I thought that I should delete all parasitic programs that my son downloaded so I deleted a few games and Youtube converter, but also ' ETDware PS/2-X64_WHQL' thinking that was a game too! In any case, my laptop has complained and reinstalled.

    I have tried reloading MS Windows 7 and had this message: windows can not retrieve information about the disks on this computer.

    In safe mode Office Professional 2013 does not open, but the fact of MS Office 2007. So I tried to repair Office Professional and I got this message: click on MS Office to run has stopped working.

    Anyway, my current position is that my computer starts normally but which icon I click on (even the start ORB), it sends the hourglass spinning and the screen freezing. A few times I was able to open a program, but is that I get.

    I am not an expert as you have no doubt worked and have messed with it much too now and are out of options. Help someone?

    Hello

    1. How do you reload Windows 7, using repair disk or drive back?

    2 are conducting an update install?

    I suggest you perform a chkdsk and see if it helps.

    Note: When running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  • DVD player stopped working after the installation of 12 items

    First, I loaded the disc DVD in the drive and tried several times to install 12 elements.  Whenever the program has been installed the computer would start flashing and the dvd drive may stop working. Every time I had to use a PIN to eject the DVD because it would not eject.  It worked well before its installation to 12 items. After that the program was finally installed dvd player worked.  But the program would be closed when you use it too often.  I finally just deleted the program of 12 items on my computer and install it on another system.  It's been a while since the abolition of the program from my computer. Tonight, I reinstalled the program Adobe 12 elements with the dvd drive works fine.  Trying to install the program, all loaded fine.  Then once more, the dvd drive eject nor does any work.  What happened several times with 12 elements of loading on my computer.  It is a real pain.  Now the DVD drive doesn't work, or eject.  Can someone help me out here?  It sucks. The other computer works fine.  It is a HP Pavilion, Windows 7 Home Premium system.

    Computer was off all night. Turned on this morning and the system works now.  I rebooted the system, at least six times last night with no result. I don't know what was different this morning, but everything seems to work.  So if it's not broken I will not try to fix it.  Thanks for posting. Dan
