  • Error: "Windows could not complete the format" when you try to write to blank DVDs

    I get this error when you try to copy files to a blank DVD.  I am trying to drag and drop files into the dvd player and after a small roar, the dvd ram drive stops and the error message.  Then the drive no longer recognizes blank dvd inside.  I am running Vista 32 bit and my dvd ram is a matshita dvd - ram uj880as ata.  I tried to switch to the microsoft 'FixIt' site, but the problem is not resolved.  I think that the report mentioned that the reader could recognize not writable or something to that extent.  The player can play DVDs fine, however.  Is there a solution to this problem by replacing the dvd ram drive?

    Hello

    Have you tried to close all programs and then insert the disc to see what is happening? Try a slower
    speed or mastered format. Have you added any burning new software lately - these tend to compete
    for resources and can interfere with each other.

    Should which CD or DVD format I use?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/which-CD-or-DVD-format-should-I-use

    ====================================

    You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).
    Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    CD have a tolerance + - and you can write on the outside edge.

    Try this troubleshooting:

    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

  • Error: ' ATL. DLL was not found"when trying to run any application.

    Original title: ATL. DLL was not found.

    I can't run applications in my pc someone in my house could not get into the computer and changed operating system to windows xp, which allows to be decommissioning of this t. Now, I get this message when I try to run an application: the application failed, because ATL DLL is not found, re - install the applicationmight solve the problem, but I get this message after you have re-installed and I don't know what else to do. Slow computer charges and freezing, something he has never done before. Same IE you have a problem, the only thing that works well, it is the remote assistant who helped me to get here and to him intermet, actually all of this with the dll thing started after I deleted the firefox browser because it froze the computer. Unable to restore my recovery utility, I tried a TI ran and told me it is impossible to get it back before I uninstalled firefox.

    Unfortunately, the support engineer technical 'expert' who is hired by the tips from Microsoft to run sfc/scannow will not help you.

    I would say that, as usual, the technical support engineer has not bothered to reproduce the problem and tried their own suggestion.

    If the atl.dll file is missing, sfc/scannow will launch but it does not work.

    It's just another wild goose chaseSupport Engineer.

    A lot of things will not work if the atl.dll file are missing.  System Restore will not work, Event Viewer do not work, you will not be able to get on the Internet, etc., until the file has been replaced.

    You try to run the system restore, you see the following message is displayed:

    Rstrui.exe - Unable to locate component
    The application has failed to start because ATL DLL not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    Try to open the event viewer, you see a message like this:

    MMC could not create the snap.
    MMC could not create the snap.  The snap-in may not be installed correctly.

    Name: Event Viewer
    CLSID: {975797FC-4E2A-11D0-B702-00C04FD8DBF7}

    Running sfc/scannow will be launched, but it will not run if the ATL DLL file is missing and you will see events like this in the event log (when you arrive, it works again):

    The server {8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820} is not registered with DCOM within the required time.

    You can't get on the Internet using any browser.

    You have to somehow replace the missing or damaged file.

    The file might really be missing if he has been quarantined (actually deleted) by your antivirus not specified.  If the file is simply missing, you can just replace it and then later determine what happened to the file and decide what to do about this.

    You can search Windows on your system for ATL DLL and replace the missing file.

    THE ATL. DLL file must be in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32

    Check and see if you can find the ATL DLL file in this folder, or if he's really missing, you will need to replace it:

    Depending on what applications you have installed, when you search for your ATL DLL system, you can find ATL DLL in several places on your system.  You must be sure get you the correct that belongs in c:\windows\system32.

    The most likely place to find a good copy of Atlant. DLL will be in one of these folders:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
    c:\windows\system32\ServicePackFiles\i386

    Locate a copy of the correct Atlant. DLL from the file in one of these folders and copy/paste in the folder c:\windows\system32.

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

    There is a copy of the file on my SkyDrive, you can download a system not affiliated and then copy the file to a Flash DRIVE or a floppy disk and apply it on the afflicted system c:\windows\system32 folder.  Here's how:

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called atl when the name of the file should really be called atl.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    If you did, this is definitely what caused your problems. They

    Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
    use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
    problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
    the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
    cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
    the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
    benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
    good deal.

  • Error: It's not the correct recovery disks.

    I replace the hard drive in the pavilion a6432f pc desktop by using the recovery cd and keep the error message: these are not the correct recovery disks. Ive checked that the AUCTION # s match of the cd recovery with SUBMISSION # on the bottom of my pc. The only option Ive been able to find online is also install another operating system.

     

    I have a problem with that. The only other operating system, I have Windows XP and the pavilion a6432f supports Windows Vista, so there is no drivers for some of the critical components of the system.

     

    Y at - there someone who can help me with this problem. I have not either the option of performing from the hard drive. The previous hard drive has failed and been replaced since the mfg'r. That's why I'm using the recovery cd

    It is usually a problem with the BIOS that is causing the problem.  Recovery checks the BIOS to determine the model and other info before it will install to prevent recovery used on discs machine no HP or on the wrong model of HP machine.

    It usually takes HP service to insert the correct information in the BIOS.

    Have you ever used before recovery disks?

    Any material changes other than the new HDD machine?

    Windows 7 would be a nice update to the machine. Win 7 has an abundance of builtin driver support, and if necessary most Vista drivers work in Windows 7.

    I can't install any updates for my computer at all, even the window updates is one of the many error messages I receive, Error 1606 could access the location %APPDATA%\ network. How can I fix it?

    Hello

    This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is inhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.

    The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.

    WARNING:

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry.

    Here are the steps to fix it.

    Step 1:

    a. Click Start, click Run, type ""regedit ' in the Open box, and then click OK. "

    b. find the following registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

    c. remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.

    Step 2:

    886549 KB http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549:

    Open Regedit a. once again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point to new, click expandable string value.

    b. type the value name that you want to restore (AppData), and then press ENTER.

    c. right-click on this value, click modify, type the value in the value data for the value name box and then click OK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.

    Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key. If this does not work, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.
