  Hi Sonrio,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

  According to the description, it looks like the game capture card Roxio is not detected in Windows.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you with this problem.

  Method 1:

  If your computer is having problems with a recently installed device or other hardware, try to use the hardware and peripheral troubleshooting tool to solve the problem. It checks the common issues of interest and ensures that a new device or hardware connected to your computer has been installed correctly.

  Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

  Method 2:

  Try to connect the card somewhere else USB and check.

  I hope this helps. If you have questions more related to Windows, feel free to post here at Microsoft Community.

• (Redirected) Alienware M17x R4: Windows7 not detecting SATA DVD/CD internal optical drive, game dvd stuck inside.

  Hello, I need help here because I can't really understand what causes the problem.

  I inserted a BioShock 2 legit installation DVD, and my CD/DVD drive does not detect. I tried to take the drive by pressing the eject ODD button, but nothing happened.

  Under 'My Computer' my drive does not appear.

  In Device Manager, it does not show any CD/DVD player either.

  Control of my computer

  

  I took a lot of steps trying to find out what is happening, and I thought it was a problem of software based.

  Ran the Dell diagnostics, Fix It, started and checked in safe mode and pretty much everything what they advised me to do in the guides.

  One step, I am committed not, where do I look for the registry subkey 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}' and change the filters upper and/or lower, because there is no filters to change.

  When you pull up my laptop, I hear my work in the car. During the ejection of pressing, looks like she is about to eject the disc, but nothing has yet come out.

  The CD/DVD drive is recognized in the BIOS but does not appear in my device manager. It becomes clear to power. In the BIOS, it mentions "SATA ODD MATSHITARV11 Downloader". It is also displayed in Intel RST.

  

  I don't have that a single HARD drive on my laptop, and in my BIOS my SATA operations are on RAID. It would make a difference if I switch to AHCI? Could it be a loose connector causing this problem of detection for my OS? If so, isn't weird that my BIOS is always detect? I am able to boot from the CD/DVD, but when I do just start of my storage drive as he always does.

  Any ideas?

• HP Probook 450 G1: Windows 8 HP recovery disks has not detected

  Hello

  In the hope of someone can help me. I recently had a problem due to what I have to perform a recovery using HP RECOVERY discs [I ordered it] I don't have the HP Recovery Manager or the recovery of microsoft. So I have to do only through HP recovery disks.

  If his sudden has not detected in my laptop. I hit the bottom of the hard drive, I can feel that it is rotating. When I double clicked on it. It appears that I have to insert the disc. [Although I have inserted]. I wiped also DVDs with a cloth dry go with stripes. I tested on my PC it detected [of course it won't work because it is not HP PC].

  I also diagonsised the hard drive [wide test] component, it has demonstrated that it meets the test. I tested both with other CD/DVD games. It works very well.

  I hope you got my problem.

  Product number: F6B14PA #ACJ

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.

  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from your description, I understand that the HP Probook 450 G1 does not detect the recovery DVDs. However, the other CDs/DVDs work fine and the recovery (at least detected) on another PC media.

  I understand that you need to recover, but despite this, Windows starts correctly now? What is the problem you can get you to try to recover? In Winows, recovery disks are recognized?

  To be honest, I don't know why it is not detected, but there are some things you can try:

  -Boot in the BIOS and disable secure boot + turn on Legacy mode

  Details > > http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/The-selected-boot-device-failed-Press-enter-to-continue/m-p/5730515

  Details > > http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03653226

  -Try to boot from the media of recovery of the DVD (first is the one that is re. OS - I see, you should have 2 recovery DVDs - one for the OS, one for the drivers).

  keep hitting the Esc key (such as tap-tap-tap).

  This should open a HP Boot Menu. Choose F9 to open the boot options. Select the USB drive as boot option.

  I would like to know if it works for you.

• HF R600. For some reason, my computer does not detect it.

  So, I don't know why, but my computer, windows 8 (I know..) does not detect my camera, the HF R600. It does not appear in the list of connected devices, the transfer utility said that it is not connected, I'm not sure what to do. Also, I felt that I could ask now as well. IM planning to use with LiteCam game software with the camera providing the embedded video, you get to know if a compatible device for it?

  Try this, with connected usb camera, click the play button under the power button on the camera body?

• Old hard drive PS3 by USB box not detected by Windows Vista

  Hello

  I recently updated my old HD PS3 40 GB with a 500 GB one. Since then, I bought an external HD for my old HD, in the hope that I could use it as a hard drive for some files I have. However, I encountered a big problem - Windows Vista does not detect the HD.

  So far I read a lot of posts on the internet with people having similar problems, but with no definitive answer, so I hoped to get :)

  So far, I've tested the speaker on both the different 40 GB and new 500 GB PS3 in HD, as well as 2-3 computers. Nor are detected by windows... both have the power (green light is on, and I can hear the disc rotation), but are not detected on the management of the devices or programs in 3rd (SwissKnife). As far as the computer is concerned, nothing is connected.

  Thinking that it was probably a hardware problem, I whipped my laptop HD out and connected on a separate computer and it worked without me even having to he invites. This leads me to believe that the device works perfectly and its something about the PS3 HD, who doesn't like Windows.

  The only thing I have not tried is put my old hard drive to the PS3 in the PS3 and reformatting. The only reason for this is a screw on the case of the PS3 has decided, that he's not budging despite all my efforts. Its now 12:45 and I'm too tired to fight with 1 screw more! :) I really don't know not how tabling in so well, 3 others went fine and I deliberately don't screw them in tight with the new HD after I read about the problems people have had by removing the screws.

  Someone at - it suggestions at all? How to get Windows to recognize that this has something plugged in, on how to remove that last screw embarrassing! Whatever that either would be appreciated!

  Thanks in advance

• The CD/DVD drive in my laptop is missing or not detected by my Acer Aspire 4520?

  A while ago my laptop Acer fell and the CD/DVD drive pulled after its fall. I thought for sure that it was broken and my laptop. Fortunately it seems not that this was the case and after that put in does what it normally would, the green light would flash and it seemed to work again. However, I never thought not to test with a DVD or CD to see if it actually worked. Is that recently that I started to use CD for games and other and I found the driver to read the discs, but nothing happened thereafter.

  Well for some time now, I tried to find a solution to my problem. The driver seems to work, but when it comes to playing the discs it do anything more. Some of my other programs such as Windows Media Player saying that my laptop is missing the driver CD/DVD. I also went to the menu of F2 from the laptop to the startup and after looking around, I find that there is no entry for the CD/DVD drive and that the entry is empty. I'm not sure why my laptop can't detect the drive. I tried many things such as the Microsoft Fix It, but ends up giving me an error saying that some components are not well read or something similar to that.
  Any help is greatly appreciated and if there is anything that I can provide for any further help I will do it gladly.
  I should also mention that the CD/DVD does not appear in Device Manager.

  Hi Emmanuel,.

   
  It's a hardware problem, your CD/DVD drive is not detected by your computer. I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.
   
  Method 1: Check if your CD/DVD drive is detected in BIOS Basic Input Output System ().
  
  IMPORTANT: BIOS change / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
   
  Method 2: Follow the steps in the link and check if that helps.

• I can't open windows dev, required audio hardware is not detected

  My computer says: "Windows movie maker cannot be used because the required audio hardware is not detected on your computer".

  The audio material is on my computer. I downloaded the audio to youtube, I have changed it to an AVI file with www.zamzar.com

  Can someone help me please?

  It is already very clear. The audio from your computer does not meet the minimum requirements of Windows Movie Maker.

  Hardware audio here refers to the audio device (common examples are Realtek and Conexant High Definition Audio) in your computer and not the audio file you want to add to the film.

  Audio drivers may be damaged or have problems.

  Please tell the following details on your PC-

  * Manufacturer/OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, Acer, MSI, etc..)

  * The series and model

  The information could be useful to find the updated drivers for your audio device.

  Also, press the Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER. Expand sound, video and game controllers, and then check that your audio device is there. Also, double-click on your audio device, click the general. The State of the device should be "this device works correctly. If it displays errors or problems please post a description of the State of the device with the error code here.

  Also, try to download and install Windows Movie Maker Version 2.6.

• CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive not detected

  I have a Toshiba Satellite l300d with an OS Vista Home premium. It worked fine for 3 years, but last week, I can't find the cd drive in 'my computer' and am unable to read DVDs, games, etc.

  The Toshiba MK1652GSK ATA device appears in Device Manager and I've updated the driver as well as to try to uninstall and reinstall. However, in disk management that only the c drive and e drive (data) are listed with another disk without a name I can't access, when I right click above just said 'help '.
  I tried to delete upper and lower filters with regedit and similar solutions with registry entries. Mr Fixit shows that the problem is that the driver is not detected, but does not bring a solution.
  I have idea about what to do next really, any help?

  Hello

  1. don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

  2. what exactly happens when you try to read the disc?

  3. you get any error message?

  I suggest you to assign the drive letter for the drive using CommandLink and check if it helps:

• CD drive is missing or not detected

  Good if I did a lot of research through forums on this problem already, none of the advice has helped me. But there is also another factor involved in my problem so I thought I should talk about my experience. I hope someone can give me some advice.

  First of all, I have a HP Pavilion dv9700. I often play the Sims 3 on my laptop. Which means every day. My laptop has overheating problems, so I bought a stand with a fan in her lap. It helps somewhat but not completely. So sometimes my computer shuts off when it overheats and I think that the reason my CD player does not work is related to it somehow. I played the Sims 3 on my computer and of course, it has overheated and it just stopped on me. When I went to turn on of course I had to restart the Sims. Well, it was not as simple as that. Whenever I tried to load the Sims he would say something in the sense of "Cannot start game when already played" - something like that. Once, he actually does not play for me, but my computer is hot so I turned off and when I tried to play again it woudn't work. Since then, I have tried everything to fix my drive, none of the work methods suggested for me and when I run the fix of Mr. program he can't help either, it just says that my CD drive is missing or not detected. I am so at a loss for what to do. And I know that a lot of people have this problem, but I thought that my situation may be other factors involved. If all the tips that can help me are greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  Clogged or blocked vents? The internal fan is working correctly? Doesn't look like
  everything is as it should be in the Department of ventilation. Clean as much as possible, and even if it's awkward
  Try a good fan blowing through the vents as a test. This should be very telling. If the internal fans
  are not all work as they should, or the ventilation openings are blocked, then a whole or several parts of
  the device can get too hot and either acting strangely or stop completely.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

  DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
  devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

  I hope this helps.

• Alienware 15 audio jack not detected

  I've seen a lot of posts on the problems of the audio jack but none with my system.  I have an AlienWare with Windows 10 15.  It does not detect the audio jack of 3.5 mm.  I have Creative Sound Blaster Recon3Di driver, says that it is up-to-date.  Tried to uninstall it a reboot, but it seems to remain installed.  When I plugged headphones and try to detect disabled and disconnected devices it shows nothing.  I can get USB working headset, but I really just want to plug into the headphone jack!

  Thanks for any help,

  Hello.

  I would test the audio driver, by changing the audio driver Creative SoundBlaster Recon with the native Windows audio driver. Here are 2 ways to do this.

  1. open Device Manager (found in the Control Panel, or type devmgmt.msc in the search box).
  2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on Creative SoundBlaster Recon.
  3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
  4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
  5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
  6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
  7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
  8. click on "next".
  9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
  10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
  [To return to the Creative SoundBlaster Recon pilot, do it again but reverse steps 2-7 names].

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

  Sometimes this procedure does not work with Windows 10, so here's another method, which is to remove all the Creative SoundBlaster Recon driver files.

  1. open Device Manager
  2. expand the section sound, video & game controllers.
  3. right click on the Creative SoundBlaster Recon and select uninstall.
  4. check the option to remove the software driver, click ok.
  5 reboot the laptop and go back to Device Manager and check again a Creative SoundBlaster Recon pilot. Keep the uninstall & reboot up to Creative SoundBlaster Recon is no longer under his... Controllers and "High definition Audio Device" (the native driver) is displayed in its place.

  [The reason why you have to go through the process more than once is because the driver for several drivers Creative SoundBlaster Recon files could be on the hard drive.] When a Creative SoundBlaster Recon driver is deleted, the following is installed if Windows can locate files. Windows installs the generic driver that after all the Creative SoundBlaster Recon files were deleted.]

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

  If you do not hear audio through the headphone jack to listen with a driver, then it is more likely to be a hardware problem.
