    Hello

    I oddly found the solution to my problem while browsing through the suggestions of SpritX at the following link: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/771598.htm

    Here is the solution I implemented and now my drive works perfectly:

    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.

    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

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    Regarding your second yellow exclamation on the wide area network WAN miniport, you need to update the driver for the network adapter.

    The Code 10 error applies mainly to the problems of hardware driver and devices or compatibility problems between the drivers of equipment and additional software that is installed in Windows.

  • Update interrupted - now cannot start Windows

    Hello

    Completely new to this forum and in the world of the system recovery / technical questions will therefore be very grateful for any help that you can offer but please keep clear answers.

    I am running windows 7 on a Samsung laptop about 3 years. During the last weeks I had problems with the battery. When not plugged in the laptop sometimes turned off and the error messages pops up saying occasionally replace the battery. I now only use it plugged into the mains. However, yesterday, when I tried to stop, windows installed updates and the wall socket, broke off. To my horror, the computer turns off so that the update (1 of 31).

    Now, I can't start windows. See below what I tried so far without success.

    Tried to load Windows normally. Key start-up windows screen and then error blue screen and restarts.

    Tried to select recovery at startup option. Through repair screens. Asked if I would restore the system to an earlier era. Tried by selecting Yes and no at this point. So yes, message says not able to repair and asks if I want to send an error message. In the absence, said also unable to repair.

    Tried to start in safe mode. As above - will from the screen windows and error, then blue and restarts.

    Tried to insert the Samsung recovery cd. When the computer starts. Press the key to load from cd. This goes to a windows install page (select language, etc.). Seems to be saying that if I do that I'll lose files?  So not go one more away.

    Have you tried pressing f8 and repair different, but process as well as above - unable to repair.

    I myself am kicking to not fix the battery problem, but I never thought it would happen. In any case, I have a recent backup of most of the files, so not a total disaster, but I would like to save some recent if possible files. The only other option I see is to remove the hard drive and buy a USB connector stada (?) and try to transfer as an external drive. How difficult is cela and what connector do I need? Understand you can not recommend a product, but is there something specific I should look for, and what are the differences between the cheapest and most expensive? Are there more reliable / brands of higher quality that I should look for? Also, if I do this, can I then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows, and it's going to work?

    I have no knowledge of the BIOS so not sure I can try relating to the recovery of base?

    Will be very grateful if someone could help it. I can post more detailed error codes / logs later when I'm in front of a computer if you need.

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and your efforts to resolve the issue is highly appreciated.

    According to the description of the problem, you cannot start your Windows 7 computer. This could be if there is a corruption of system files or boot files are missing or damaged.

    I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start the recovery Windows (WINRE) environment . To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    3. Click repair your computer.
    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    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...

    I plugged the the hardware id in the Microsoft Update Catalog and the device is identified as a C-Media CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device but there only Windows 2000/XP drivers available through Windows Update (you need to install the ActiveX control to view and download the drivers):

    http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=PCI%5CVEN_13F6%26DEV_0111%26SUBSYS_011113F6%26REV_10

    Connect the hardware id PCIDatabase provides a link to C-Media (one-third to the bottom - device ID 0 x 0111):

    http://www.PCIDatabase.com/vendor_details.php?id=376

    However there are a of the drivers mentioned in the following link that can run, and I suggest to try:

    http://www.SevenForums.com/sound-audio/9824-c-media-Freezy-my-PC.html

    The driver is the "Striker 7.1 pilot" (striker81742.zip) in the following link:

    http://www.htomega.com/downloads.html

    An in these drivers .inf file has an id of material corresponding to your device.

    I recommend the creation of a System Restore Point before trying new drivers.

  • USB 3 doesn't work does not Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

    ASUS sabertooth z77 motherboard, bios updated. USB 2 USB 3 does not work. Have uninstalled root hubs that show problems and restarted the computer, do not solve the problem, still getting the "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged.

    Please notify. If it is a regedit fix, please help with details. Thank you!

    When I rebuilt my system, I went step by step in reinstalling the software.  I understand that better, my usb problems related to Asus motherboard utilities.  These are not entirely compatible Windows 8 and introduce problematic drivers.  Finished to start my Acronis True Image boot USB and backup of backup image of this morning.  Problem solved.

    Staying away the Asus utilities for now... btw, Asus technical support on my problems was totally useless, even if the code 19 errors point to hardware problems, which are covered by the guarantee.

    If you use the Asus utilities, you may be able to rebuilt without them...
