How to disable the USB port and change DVD drive to read-only?

I have upgraded my Vista Home Premium from window to window 7 Ultimatum. I tried to disable the USB port and and change the configuration of DVD room to read only via the bios, but I wasn't able to do. The bios always the same, whether it was when I had vista.

I wonder if the operating system upgrade from Vista home premium to Windows 7 ultimate trigger necessarily upgrading the bios in order to take full advantage of the Windows 7?

Thank you

rThen your question isn't specific to Windows 7, you must consult the manufacturer. You should be able to disable the USB via the BIOS ports. Also, why do you want to set the optical drive as read only? If it is shared? If so, the advanced sharing disk properties, from there, you can set permissions on the drive.

    However, when putting my laptop in * hibernation mode *, my Smartphone and my MP3 player continues to be charged!

  • The USB ports and keyboard randomly not working no-error 43

    Hi all

    I tried intermittently in recent days to resolve a really annoying error 43. I was able to glean
    of the various forums that problems similar to mine are most often took place and various folk remedies
    appear to be available, but none of them have worked for me.

    Here's what happens: apparently at random, my usb ports and a keyboard stop working. It's especially annoying
    because I have a usb mouse, when this error occurs, I'm so completely powerless to do anything.
    I got around it sometimes by plugging my mouse into a different usb port (my computer a lot). That's how
    I found that I was getting code 43 error, "this device has been stopped because he reported the problems." (do not remember
    the exact wording).

    This started happening a few days ago, I've never had any problems like this before. I also tried other usb devices
    in the port - nothing works when the error occurs. Curiously, the error sometimes stops just as randomly
    as it begins. Sometimes some ports work and others - sometimes, I can't use my keyboard, but not my mouse and
    Vice versa.

    Here are the remedies I've tried:
    1. Uninstall and then reinstall the drivers for the USB controllers, mouse and keyboard
    2. performance of FixIt for hardware and drivers
    3 let the computer unplugged for a while, then returning to it (it helps temporarily, but the error still recurs)

    Sometimes, I heard that you may need to update your BIOS. I already have the latest version of.
    If someone needs more information, let me know.

    Alright! That's all. I hope someone can help me, that would be a really stupid handicap for my computer to have otherwise.

    Update the latest drivers windows 7 compatible chipset and motherboard manufacturer's Web site.

    If the problem continues, I fear that you may need to replace the USB hub.

  • Disable the USB port

    How do disable you the two USB ports on the front of a Dell Inspiron 3647? Or better yet, the password protect them?

    The problem with the software approaches, either change the registry or by using an application like IntelliAdmin, is they disable all the USB storage for all users. If you won't be able to connect a USB or USB either. Note: If you use them, only the key and encrypted USB drives USB encrypted is HIPAA compliant.

    You will also need a password protected administrator account and only this account has the right to change the registry or re - run IntelliAdmin to reactivate the USB access.

    The Manual shows two connectors on the motherboard to the front USB ports. If you unplug the cables of these two connectors (be sure to store out of the way or cover with the CHATTERTON, so they can't communicate with the motherboard, case, or any other component), you can physically turn off the two front USB ports.

    BUT, BUT... I do not know if that generates an error message when the PC starts, or if the PC starts even when these two cables are disconnected. May be worth a try...

    My other thought is to put the PC in a cupboard locked (with adequate ventilation) and only personnel are the key.

    Since it is a HIPAA question, you may not be the first to meet, then maybe you can find acceptable solutions to the HiPAAJournal.com or related resources.

    Hello @BubuBaby,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Notebook PC 11 workflow and settings of Touchpad not working not properly. You can disable the popup of charms by right-clicking on the desktop go to properties. In the properties of Navigation window and the taskbar, click the Navigation tab and uncheck the box - when I point to the upper right corner, show the charms.

    Here is a document on how to troubleshoot the Touchpad, if you need it.

    If you proceed to the section setting of TouchPad pointing the sensitivities it should help solve the problem. Enable or disable individual gestures by clicking the check box next to each item. A check mark in the check box indicates that the gesture is turned on.

    Hope this fixes the Touchpad settings.

    Thank you.
