  • Satellite A20 - CD/DVD doesn't read any type of disc

    I just got a used Satellite A20. Former owner uninstalled programs, and now the CD/DVD doesn't read any type of disc. It has worked well for the former owner.

    Satellite A20C - 0231Q Windows XP - Home drive SD-R2412

    In the bios a cd-rom drive is listed
    In Control Panel, the drive is listed, but with a yellow triangle and a message indicating that the device cannot be used... driver problem?

    Is there a way to locate the driver for an older machine, install it, without making a complete recovery (as the cd player does not work?)? I noticed that the driver Announces began with the Satellite A - 200.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Boarder's right. If the drive is listed in the device with the yellow exclamation point manager and the drive is not listed in Windows Explorer, you can resolve following the method described in the document of Microsoft.
    After reboot everything should be ok again.

  • Problem of choppy / skipping audio Dell Inspiron 1720

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 and any time I try to play mp3 with Media Monkey or even Windows Media player, I get a jerky sound or jump slightly.  I looked into the Task Manager and my CPU usage and the memory never get more than 45%.  I have Windows Vista installed.  Could be the problem?  I think that the audio device is SigmaTel.  When I do a search for new audio drivers, it says that they are all to date.  Help, please!  I'm at my wits end here!

  • Disable TouchPad on Dell Inspiron 1720 - Vista Home Premium

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop and I would like to disable the touchpad so that I can move the cursor of the mouse only.

    Why? One wonders...  I can type text, when suddenly, the cursor will jump and I tap on the line above on the previous text. This has happened before, when I had first PC, and I've sorted it by disabling the touchpad. However, I have re installed the OS, etc, and everything must be reset to zero.

    2 years on I forgot how do. I tried Panel Manager and control device, but he can't get by on this machine. The system is Vista Home Premium, if it is of no relevance.

    Hi The_President,

    This site gives you the steps to disable the touchpad.

  • Satellite 5200-903-drive DVD not reading any type of CD

    My old 5200-903 Satellite with multi DVD doesn't read any kind of CD; material and pilot test shows no failure; What can I do else?

    Have you noticed the same test with DVD?
    I can't say for sure, but it may be that the optical disk drive is defective.

    It may happen that the calibration of the lens is defective and objective cannot be calibrated to the CD, but with DVD works perfectly.

  • Tecra M1 will not read any type of SD card

    Help!
    According to the title, my M1 will not read any type of SD card. I'm running the SP2 of XP reloaded from original floppies, and it is fully up-to-date with Windows Update.
    The little green light adjacent to the slot flashes briefly on the insertion of a card, but nothing happening for example no open option window and nothing visible in my computer.

    I downloaded the latest drivers and installed according to the directives of the readme.txt file and even thought to copy the SDDEVMGR.dll in the System32 folder.
    I obviously lack something, so any help or pointers are welcome.

    Thank you very much. Craig

    Hello

    Usually, books are not all sizes of SD card and so you should be sure that the used SD card is supported and compatible with the Tecra M1 card reader.

    But if you are using a compatible SD card the laptop should be able to read/write on the SD card.
    I try to remove the SD card in the Device Manager controller and remove the driver software malfunction. Restart the computer and install the latest drivers again.

    PS: A registry cleaning would be desirable. CCleaner is a great registry cleaning applications

    Hello

    Have you added any software CD/DVD burning or else around the time that it started to happen? Some may
    compete for resources and cause problems.

    ------------------------------------------

    Please make these top-down, even if you have some before fact as is often the set of operations which solves the problem.
    It's a checklist and not a menu.

    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.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
    and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

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

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

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

    This utility also allows to control the TouchPad:
