"DVD SuperMulti LightScribe drive / burner" not recognized as LightScribe drive

I've had my desktop PC HP Pavilion Media Center TV m8100y CTO for several years now, but I've never tried using the LightScribe feature to date. I downloaded the drivers and software from [link removed - site is no longer available] newer, but none of that recognizes the "LightScribe DVD SuperMulti Drive/writer" (TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-222BB) as a LightScribe drive. What should I do to diagnose and fix the problem, so I can use the LightScribe feature?

After looking in the system recovery, I don't think I'm going to run until my PC has more serious problems than the issue of LightScribe. The recovery process of the system to the factory settings and then reinstall everything new is a bit more than I want to go at this point. Thanks anyway for the help, old_geekster. I'm OK with the mystery of LightScribe remaining unsolved for a little longer. When I get to perform a system recovery, I will update this thread with the results regarding LightScribe.

    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

  • supports matshita dvd - ram uj-850 s NOT recognized, Mats_run.dvd cancel installation of PowerShell

    Updates in security plague devices on my Toshiba Satellite? Matshita dvd - ram uj-850 s can notrecognize the media .  I tried to run Mats_run.dvd.exe and it cancels the installation of PowerShell and said run again later.  I checked the registry for PowerShell and he's not here.

    Updates are downloaded automatically but are installed manually. Microsoft.NET Framework 3.0 is installed.  There are 2 hard drives usb, e and h. The internal hard drive is c and the dvd drive is d.

    I downloaded PowerShell for English x 86, and it also cancels the installation.  This facility will write on e drive unless the e reader is currently offline.  It seems to me that installation should go in one of the program files. No matter what.

    I heard Japanese factories to boost productivity by having models of foremen (also known under the name of straw bosses) in the break for whacking room. MicroSoft is expected to provide a game that allows you to the storm of MicroSoft when you feel frustrated. Laugh for everyone.

    I tried the registry filter entries delete and it does not correct.

    The drive reads some DVD.  The one I use is readable on other computers and was burned at the origin of it. This drive is able to read the DVD right here.

    DVD with files on them are not read.

    I cleaned the drive with a DVD-rom cleaner.

    Audio_TS, Video_TS structure is recognized on a DVD so that the reader is able to read the DVD.  It seems to be a Windows problem.

    Combustion works very well.

    Hey, Arch.

    I suggest uninstalling the drive in Device Manager and restart the computer.

    If this does not help, you can try to uninstall all your computer disc burning software, if you have the means to reinstall, and then reinstall the drive.

    The Powershell do not install cannot be bound.

    I suggest to run a full system scan after you have updated the antivirus definitions.

  • Being not recognized in dimension 8400 DVD drive

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my DVD drive in my dimension 8400 (about 3 years)

    I can open the DVD player and insert DVD/CD but they are not recognized,

    My computer is not present DVD player, there is no CD/DVD players present also in the management of devices.

    I think the DVD player I have is the Philips DVD 8601 HH 16 x DVD + RW,

    I had a similar problem about 1 year ago, but that has been fixed by updating the firmware/drivers. (although the DVD player doesn't "disappear" from my computer, it comes to refuse to play the disc at the time)

    Im not a computer newbie, so I tried several things to try to make it work:

    http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.ID=dim_cdrom&message.ID=138730&query.ID=270189#M138730 I did steps 1-3 and 5, and nothing has worked.

    Someone at - recommended step 4 too? Question about step 4: you have to clear the CMOS chip memory AND reset the default settings of the BIOS Setup? It was not clear from the guide on this forum.

    I tried to download the updates of the Firmware, but when I tried to update it says "Device not found", logic, because the device is not - where on my computer.

    That's my problem.

    Thank you very much if anyone can help me

    Perhaps the DVD player is just broken and I need to get a new one, but the fact that I can open and close the lid and the light Burns gives me hope that its stil alive: P

    I bought a new satellite pro m40x yesterday and today everything worked fine but today the dvd and cd rom is not recognized more. I don't know about cell phones, what can I do? I don't want to return it to Toshiba and wait 4 weeks to get it back.
    My son needs the notebook the week next to the school.

    Hi Christine,

    Please check in the Device Manager to see if there's anything showing against your CD-ROM drive. If your CD-ROM is always displayed, you should be able to run the process of troubleshooting against it to check for possible errors.

    If your CD-ROM is more listed and then launch the 'Scan for hardware changes' option to see if it detects your CD-ROM.

    Hello

    If you think that the disc is certainly defective, why you n t contact the authorized Service partner and check if the warranty is still valid.

    If the reader can be Exchange, why a new look. Compatibility is also sensitive topic because there is no public document on this subject and you will be lucky if some users on this forum can give you a precise answer. The fact is that each drive may not be recognized correctly and you will get #1 error IDE.
