  Hi mate

  Just a question; the motherboard has been replaced?

  I read that numypad may not work once the motherboard has been replaced.
  This can happen due to missing or incorrect settings in the DMI.

  AFAIK the DMI one only updated by ASP, so in this case the ASP technician should be contacted.

• Driver DVD disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '.

  Vista HP Portable DVD player continues to disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '. Already tried Upper/LowerFilters.

  Hi, a few weeks ago, the DVD burner in the laptop suddenly disappearedmy computer (Windows Explorer).  The first thing I did was check theDevice Manager to see if the drive was there.  It was not the case.  Restarting the laptop did nothing.  Repeated several times, active Vista updates.  No change.  By checking the net, I tried to delete the Upper/LowerFilters in the registry, download it tool Microsoft fix , delete iTunes, do a system restore, to change all the parameters of thesleep and hibernation off and a few other things.  It appeared for the first time after that:

  1. Do a restore of the system for the first restore point.
  2. Remove the DVD writer.
  3. Restarting the laptop.
  4. Research of new hardware in Device Manager .
  5. Change all parameters of standby and Hibernate off. (I tried this method without this step first, but the drive disappeared after the computer went to sleep and woke up.)  Tried 3 times with the same results).
  6. Closing.
  7. Reinsert the DVD burner.

  On the next reboot, the DVD writer has been recognized and ended up in my computer and Device Manager .  No errors of any kind and no drivers were installed at startup.

  What has happened since then, in the last 4 or 5 days, is randomly disappears from thedesktop .  Usually after a few hours or more.  This time, however, it usually appears inDevice Manager after a search of new material.  No reboot required.  It will read from a DVD .avi files each time.  It has not been detected byDevice Manager maybe about 2 or 3 times, and after a simple reboot, it will be present inmy computer and Device Manager automatically after a reboot.  I read that the superior/UpperFilter mark has worked for many people, but for some, the problem returns.  In addition, many of the discussions on this question and proofreading are years.  It happened about 10 days ago.  Within 2 days before the problem appeared first, it was an update of windows, but also an update of iTunes.

  I noticed that I received this error when opening iTunes:

  "The registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can occur as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. ''

  I have not reinstalled, no DVD player.  Uninstalled itunes again.  Since I finally got the drive to appear (using the method I described above), I did bother to reinstall iTunes because I particularly need it on this computer, worried that it may be the cause of the original problem and I wanted to see if the disc disappears again.  I did do it, however, let QuickTime installed.  Don't know if this could be a problem?

  I stumbled upon this suggestion, but I also had the same question as the next post, and I have not seen a response.  I don't know if or how I should try:

  Nikki,

  You can not go back if the restore points aren't there. Try to reinstall the IDE driver.

  To do:
  -Click on the round to start and right click on computer
  -Left click on properties, this will open the system window
  -Click on device high Managerin left
  -Click on continue if prompted by UAC
  -Goto the 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' you should right click on uninstall and restart

  BTW that dog rox in this avitar

  See you soon! MCP. MCDST. LVL 80

  Hi, thanks for the comment on my puppy. She is now 5 MB and her name is Nikki, lol.

  Well, I tried what you said, but the IDE ATA/ATAP controllers has a (+), so when I select it does give me not an option to uninstall. It is for me (analysis of the physical changes (or) properties).       and if I click on the (+) sign I have 4 different options. 2 channels IDE, Intel (R) 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI controller and Intel(r) ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage controllers - 2850.

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistahardware/thread/e3701d75-9dbe-4ae9-9d70-83f14129247c?Prof=required

  What I see in "Device Manager", under IDE ATA/ATAP controllers is:

  IDE channel (x 4)

  Ricoh Memory Stick Controller

  Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller

  Ricoh xD-Picture Card Controller

  Controller of PCI standard IDE dual channel (x 2)

  The laptop is about 2 years and never had problems.  The DVD burner is hardly used to burn, maybe a total of 5 disks in this time.  It has been used occasionally to read or copy from, but not much.  I'm not convinced that he is dead, as I had 2 die on me in desktop computers, after burning hundreds of CDs in them and read much.

  in any case, I was not able to find any bugs or suggestions (with the exception of 'replace' the reader), so I just wanted to describe my specific situation and see if anyone could help out.  Forgive me for information, I have left out, but I am an amateur when it comes to the problems with the computer and still don't know what mean things or where I can get information on my OS, software or hardware.  All anyone can do would be greatly appreciated.

  This is the information I have:

  HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC

  Optiarc DVD RW AD-7560 ATA Device

  Vista Home Premium

  Service Pack 2

  Thanks again for any help.

• I can't use my keyboard for a long time in CS4 - very strange

  I have 2 computers and when I try to use the keyboard for shortcuts on my second computer, some weird dialogue with Chinese characters appears shortly after I start using the keyboard and I can't use the keyboard for shortcuts after this point, never. I'm sure it's in CS4, because it doesn't happen at all in Windows.

  What the hell it is and how do I turn it off? :

  

  You have installed or activated an IME for an Asian language.

• cannot get rid of the "removable disk" in "my computer" and "Device Manager", after incorrectly removing a USB flash drive

  I stupidly, twice - after using USB flash drives - just shot when he in fact without removing them properly. Now, they are listed at all times in my 'Device Manager' and in 'my computer '. I went into Device Manager and tried to uninstall them. It seemed to work but the next time I booted up Vista found drivers and now they are back in 'my computer' and Device Manager. This does not seem to be a problem, but I would like to get rid of them.

• DVD drive has disappeared from my computer and Device Manager lists

  The machine is an Acer laptop with a single disc DVD - RW Win Vista Home Premium 32 running with all the latest updates installed.

  I have not installed anything new (software or hardware), I know.

  The other day the player just stopped working and is no longer registered to each workstation or in the Device Manager list.

  While they inspected the system event logs there is a chain of...

  Event 7026 - the next (s) starting or starting system could not load:

  CDROM

  and...

  Event 11 atapi - driver detected an error in the controller on \Device\Ide\IdePort2.

  Event 9 atapi - the device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not within the time limit.

  Event 11 atapi - driver has detected an error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0 controller.

  I know that the drive itself works well because when I initially turn on the laptop I can hear the drive spin upward and I'm able to eject the drawer, so there the power etc... but once in Windows the drive does not work or even appear anywhere.

  So far, I have tried.

  1. detection of new hardware in Device Manager

  2 - installing all IDE channels and let the system reinstall after re-booting

  3 running the Microsoft Fixit tool, it seems to point out that there is a problem and said fixed it, but nothing is actually fixed by that

  I noticed a few other posts which look similar to mine, but had trouble understanding if they truly are or not.  So apologies if this is a repeat of something already posted.

  OK tried the fixit tool still once, was not aware there were different tools for different issues.  I have the wrong tool launches the first time round.

  Anyway, the drive is still on holiday somewhere, fixit tool reports that it may not detect the drive at all, so that seems to indicate that he does not drive connected.

  Is it possible that the IDE cable has come off the promenade inside the laptop?  I hope that not because I just spent the last couple of hours trying to figure how to get to where the Player connects, but seems almost impossible... can get to all the rest, keyboard and screen disconnected, RAM, disk HARD etc, but the DVD player, not a hope!

  Looks like I'll take it to a service somewhere I guess.

• CD-ROM drive detected in BIOS and Device Manager but not Explorer or lag when you click

  The last time I tried to use my CD player, it worked very well. I recently got a game perfect state (checked on other computers, so it's good), and I can't install it because of the CD player.

  Already, it is detected by the BIOS and in Device Manager it's all updated with all its drivers and no yellow triangles.

  The rare opportunity that explore (thus, libraries in my case but nevertheless explorer.exe) fact feel the drive, I click on it and explore lagging until I opened the player and then I get the message "no disc in the drive (bah, I just opened the thing after you moved for hours)" I went to explore running for some time and eventually he listed things that were ready to write on a disk, not to read.

  Most of the time traveller feeling even the reader, even though Device Manager and BIOS a. Mr. Fix - It does not work either. They just keep running with nothing doesn't.

  On a side note, autorun does not start or when I put in the drive, so windows does not read the disc. The drive works perfectly as I see the LED flashes very quickly and spins the disc.

• BIOS and Device Manager see terabyte but computer shows NO disc

However when I select computer from the Start button under Vista this new disk does not appear in the window. The HARD drive is a Samsung. One has experience of this problem? And especially a solution! Windows reports that the pilot is later!
