Hello

Please do not type in capital letters as it is difficult to read and regarded as yelling.

This problem affects both/all readers is expected when it comes to the top.

Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
the question.

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
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.

Hope these helps.

  • Desktop shortcuts for items on the network sometimes drives disappear from the Office

    I have a number of shortcut icons on my desktop Windows 7 (RC1) to the network elements - some are files on a NAS server, some are mapped as the floppy drives, etc. However, Windows 7 seems to sometimes simply remove all without notice, and I have to recreate all the shortcuts to my NAS articles again.

    I wondered at first if this may have been because Windows sometimes would start until all my network devices is available, but when that happens, he scored just correctly icons with a red x to indicate that he could not find them at startup, and as soon as the NAS is available then shortcuts work fine.

    However at random intervals, seven of these shortcuts simply disappear from the desktop. All other shortcuts and icons are very good and the mapped drives are always present in my 'Computer' screen - it's just the focused on the NAS shortcuts on the desktop that disappear.

    No idea why this is happening?

    André

    If you create shortcuts from desktop to removable storage locations such as NAS icons will disappear from time to time because Windows 7 has a built in scheduling the task to clean up unused or broken links.

    To prevent the task to run, you must disable the task in the task schedular: Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Task Scheduler
    Expand the tree in the left pane until you get to the Task Scheduler Library-Microsoft-Windows-diagnosis.
    In the right pane, right click on the named scheduled task, and then click on disable.

  • Power Guard icon repeatedly disappear from the system tray

    Original title: WINXP Pro s ver.2002 / SP3.

    I have WINXP Pro s ver.2002 / SP3.  The power icon keep disappearing several times from the system tray?  I have restore but when I restart the laptop, they're gone. This also occurs in the Volume icon at the same time. Do not remember what has been loaded or were able to do.  This fine all worked until the day. Now I have to live with almost a one-time problem by sinister using the sound properties and uncheck, Power Options apply and then check, apply the box "Show icon in the taskbar".  I tried some fixes automatic Microsoft (I think) Web site but no real chance in the long term.

    Hi JayBregand,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         Who are the automatic patches from Microsoft have you tried?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: Try to add the icon again and the Coachman. If the problem persists you can read the following article and check.

    Volume icon is not displayed in the notification area, and you may receive an error message when you try to add

     http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/319095

     

    Method 2: Create a new profile on the computer and check if the problem persists. If this is not the case, the other profile is corrupt. To create a new user profile, you can see the article mentioned below for the procedure.

  • DVD RW drive disappears from the computer and the Device Manager on Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

    After upgrading Vista to Windows 7, my DVD RW drive will disappear from official view and computing device and a scan for changes on the material or use of the player will not solve. Resolves a reboot of the PC (HP - Sony DVD RW desktop computer).
    It appears in the BIOS and when the first install Windows 7 found and the device manager reported everything is ok. It seems that after a power management feature has occurred and the PC wake up the disc is missing and the only way to return it is a restart.
    Help, please

    Thanks for the info, I had seen it work elsewhere on the net for similar problems with Vista, but not of joy as the either the upper or lower part reg entries appear under this subkey. They do it for the disk subkey but no CDROM

    Hibernation is disabled and I use power management to High Performance with only a screen sleep as a default 20 mintes and the hard drive after an hour of sleep. I upped since the two of them to see if that helps.

  • When I delete the Photostream images, they also disappear from the iMac.  How can I remove photos from the photo gallery and keep them in the section Photos of Photos on my Mac?

    I am trying to remove photos from the photo gallery without having them also disappear from my Mac.  How?

    You must copy those you want to your Mac first.

    Remove photos from my photo - Apple Support stream

    The following photos will not be deleted when you delete photos from my photo stream:

    • Photos that you copied to the tab pictures or film on your iOS device
    • Pictures that you have imported into your iPhoto or Aperture library
    • Photos that you've copied in a folder on your PC and are not part of my photo stream
  • Suspend and expand/collapse buttons disappeared from the top of the Windows Sidebar

    I have a new Mac Mini that I loaded with Windows XP & VMware Fusion 2.0 + upgrade, all at the end of November 2008.   Until very recently, when the Windows Sidebar appeared, she was "buttons" on its top edge, grey-strip 'Suspend' (left) & enlarge/reduce (right).  These buttons have disappeared.  So, I have a workaround.  I use the Help menu in which I type "Suspend", which adds a line to 'suspend' drop-VM & allows me to suspend windows.  I also have a workaround to enlarge/reduce function.

    Why have I lost these buttons?  But, more importantly, how to restore their superior, gray band edge of the Windows Sidebar?

    Thank you.
