HP dv2500 - CD/DVD drive "Application not found".

I have a Pavilion dv2500 with the optical drive does not properly.  It is detected by the system, but does not recognize/autolaunch whatever it is inserted in the drive.  When I try to open the drive in my computer, it says "" F: / Application not found! "."

I tried the the registry fix that is always posted here in response to the problems of CD/DVD drive.

I tried to reinstall via Device Manager ("this device is working properly").

I have removed/reinstalled all programs using the player (iTunes, Nero, etc..)

It's extremely frustrating, any additional help/suggestions would be appreciated.

I am pleased to announce that I was able to do work - physically remove the disk, I noticed that the support of screws holding that place was folded outwards, probably preventing all contacts a link to the motherboard.

I hope that the system restore will speed up things a bit as well.

Thanks again for your help, Bookworm.

  • D drive not working do not. Bed "Application not found".

    I had to get a new hard drive a few months ago and this is the first time using my D drive since.  When a disc is inserted, it looks like he's trying to read the disc, but then nothing happens.  When I try to open it manually, it says "Application not found".  I recently got a new printer and try to install the equipment for this and am unable.  I tried to change the drive letter, Microsoft troubleshooting Services automated: your CD or DVD cannot read or write media.  No change and still does not.  I need help please!

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and you need to do for the reader of CD and the printer - drivers, firmware and software - and all the others that you have time to do-, they help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  Make sure the devices are attached and in the course of running when you install the drivers and firmware and software - is available but certainly the drivers.  After the drivers, you can install the firmware and software.

    How did you install Vista on your new drive hard if you do not use the CD player?  So it must have worked at a given time.  I think that it will solve the problem to update the drivers on it (they probably got changed for bad ones during the re-Setup).

    As far as the printer will, once you've done the above, use the Add Printer Wizard and it should take you thrugh the process without problem.  If you have any problems, post the EXACT error messages and where the process failed it.  Then, we will try to remedy this situation separately, but for nowlet concentrates for the functional CD.

    Have you tried to update the CD/DVD drive?
    You could go to the Device Manager and could remove the reader of CD/DVD from the list of devices.
    Then, you must restart the laptop.
    After restarting again the Windows operating system will recognize the new device as the CD/DVD drive and will initialize and reinstall the driver.

    Then try using the new CD/DVD drive

  • Satellite C660 - 11K DVD drive does not

    I was just become acquainted with my new laptop Satellite C660 - 11K that I bought for Christmas and came to try playing a DVD for the first time tonight.

    The first one I tried was a business produced in format DVD RW DVD. When I inserted in the DVD player, I got a "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem during playback of the file" error message. Following the troubleshooting guide to check my sound, video settings and game controllers do not solve the problem.

    I then tried a purchased movie DVD (DVD-video format) and received the same error message.

    Finally, I have inserted an audio CD purchased and tried to play it through Windows Media Player and iTunes, but could not play all titles. The Gracenote software did, however, identify the CD and track names.

    By Device Manager, I found that my DVD drive is a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633C and that it is enabled, the value of region 2 DVD and it has drivers up to date.

    Am I missing something stupid that prevents me to get my DVD player to work, or do I have a defective DVD player?

    Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    1. What happen exactly when you try to open the applications?

    2. you receive an error message?

  • Application not found Error Messages

    Application not found error message Hi,.

    I recently had a virus on my Windows XP which I removed with Norton Internet Security.  The virus was called "XP Antispyware 2010".  After that I took it with the version of Norton Internet Security 2010 newly installed, I realize that I could not access the internet directly by clicking on the icon. a window will open asking for me to choose the program I want to use to open IE.  He would then run the program but nothing happens and it goes in circles asking to select a program to open, run, etc.

    Soon I noticed that clicking on other applications would result in an error message saying "Application not found".  I can't remove programs from my control panel because it is inaccessible, I can't open Microsoft Office programs directly unless I go to my computer.  I can't do a system recovery or restoration; the same messages will pop up. So basically, I can't make any changes to my laptop programs or access directly.  Help, please.

    I called Symantec who tried to help.  Norton Internet Security has been removed from my laptop, but I still have the same problems.  I was then told that this isn't a problem with Norton, but with Windows and the file sharing/accessibility.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    Hi, Debbie.

    First of all, Norton is not the choice of the antivirus, I recommend, and I seriously doubt that he removed all, if any, elements of Xp Antispyware 2012. Their support is not much better that you will probably notice now.

    The errors that you receive are obviously the result of the malware.

    We will try to solve your problems one at a time.

    Using another computer, and then transfer the files to the computer in question via revovable storage like a disk or flash/thumb drive click HERE. Download the file. Extract the contents of the zip file.

    Click HERE and download another zip file, extract the contents again.

    Right-click on the files one at a time of course and choose "merge". Confirm guests. You should now be able to open your shortcuts and executable files.

    Click HERE. Download Malwarebytes. Update Malwarebytes and perform a scan.  Choose whether to remove anything found. Once completed click HERE and download Superantispyware Portable. Perform a quick scan again remove anything found.

  • When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found.

    Original title: rundll.exe error

    I checked the previous messages and can't seem to find a solution to this problem.  Recently I ran 3 different scans, i.e. sbybot, avast and Malawarebytes virus. After that I ran these anti-virus programs and remove viruses, I was not able to open any more virus scanners. Every time I tried, would open a window saying "Choose the program you want to use to open this file." If I try to download a new virus scanner, it says the same thing.

    When I try to open the Control Panel, add or remove programs, a window appears saying "C:Windows\system32\rundll32.exe Application not found. I checked this file on my c: drive\system 32 and see the rundll.exe file. I also copy and pasted the file rundll.exe my CD of Windows XP in c: Windows\System32

    After the undo operation is copy the Rundll32.exe in the road to C:\Windows\System32
