Hello. How to make a cd rom to run on windows 7? I can't for the life of me get by. gruff, the CD can be played on a windows uodated version? Help, please! I tried troubleshooting, but it did not help. Thank you

original title: CD Rom compatibility with windows 7

Hello hZL,.

There is no "generic" setting, but I wonder how old it is and if it is actually compatible with Windows 7. It seems that the problem lies in the software, not, as we thought the CD-ROM. You may need to install an application on the CD before you can actually use the CD itself. If the software is really old, then he can simply not be compatible with Windows 7 in which case you may need to upgrade the software, if this is possible, of course.

The software runs under Windows Vista? If so, it should work on Windows 7. The software works on Windows XP? If so there could be a compatibility issue with Windows 7. As a suggestion, assuming it worked on Windows XP you have tried to install the application in compatibility mode? You can access the file "setup.exe", you say? If so right click on this file and in the dropdown menu, select Properties. In the properties, click the Compatibility Mode tab, place a check in the box "run this program in compaitibilty mode for" in the box below, and then select XP (XP should already be selected, but if it isn't, click on the arrow to the right of the dialog box and select it from the list.) The software installation file should settle now.

If this does not work then you may need to contact the software manufacturer to see if they have versions of Windows 7 that you can upgrade.

  • Unable to get a CD-ROM to start. Is a graphics card an external device or that should already be in my system?

    My son bought a hotwheels cd-rom, but it does not start - "some of your hardware does not meet the requirements to play... '. "The computer is new with windows vista professional.  I checked all the system requirements and they are very well except maybe the "directx 9.0 compatible 3d graphics card" is something that should be on my system or something external?
    Thanks in advance.
    Amy

    Your card probably is dx9 compatible, if your computer is capable of running Vista.

    I would check with the manufacturer of the game itself for a stamp.  The game may have preceded the Vista and doesn't know if it can work or not on the operating system.  You can also right click on the game icon, choose Properties, choose compatibility and choose "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2" and see if it works for you.

    Hi all

    Could someone please tell me how to activate my screen saver, I did a fresh install of windows 7 Home premium and the BONE seems to work very well.

    As soon as I select a screen saver and press apply/ok I wait a few minutes and nothing!  , apparently, this function can be modified via local group policy / I can not even find the local policy snap in my MMC not home premium can't?

    Any help with this rather annoying problem would be nice.

    The original version doesn't have access to all the functions that are available in the Pro or ultimate versions (company?). That said, the screen savers are enabled by default, so if none of them work something may be blocking them. Maybe some program/utility running in the background, or with a parameter to disable screensavers while the application runs.

  • Unable to access HP Personal Media Drive in Windows 7

    My wife desktop PC has failed.  I need to access the data on the HP Personal Media Drive and it attached via the USB port on my Windows 7 laptop.  However, the drive is not recognized and Windows says that there is a driver error.  However (a) according to HP, there is no Win7 drivers for this drive.  (b) according to Microsoft, the drive is compatible with Windows 7?  How the hell can I access this disk?

    Click on 'start '.


    In the search bar, type 'Computer management' (without the quotes). Click on the program icon that shows up (should be at the top of local search results).

    Search in the left pane of the window 'disk management '. If you don't see it, click the arrow to the left of "storage".
    Look for a drive that is not titled "allocated." If you see one, check to see if it is the same size as your Media Player. (A 1 TB drive will show as Go 931,51, etc..)
    Right-click on the unallocated disk, then click on 'Create a Simple Drive'
    Go through the wizard using the default settings. When the screen where you can name the disc, name 'HP Media Drive' (or whatever you want).
    Once the wizard is completed, wait a few minutes while the disc formats. Then open 'My computer' and the drive will be displayed.
    Right-click on the icon, then click on "Create shortcut" If you have a desktop icon to access the drive.

  • Question about Tecra 510CDT computer laptop CD Rom drive

    Hello

    A friend just bought this laptop second hand. Everything seems very well despite the age. The only problem is when I swap the floppy for the cd rom drive drive. The screen is blank, the cursor hangs and then the laptop crashes completely.

    When I originally put the CD-ROM on the laptop, it seems to be taking place, in that the drivers recognition process where apparently being installed (we have no disk windows 98), so I assumed it was launching this process that everything was fine. But when I put a cd in the drive, the message: there is no cd rom on that computer drive came! I tried several times, and the same problem occurred. I checked the Device Manager and there is no cd drive. I tried to go into the multimedia program, but there is nothing on the cd rom. But there is a cd rom drive help and how to use it. So I'm pretty confused as to what could be the problem. Do I need to get a cd rom drive new/second hand? I thought about the drivers and download them but as we drive to the web I don't have access to the internet. Help with this would be so much appreciated.

    I'm no afficiando on computers, so any information base or advice to help me get started would be great.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I have no adequate response, because this device is not known to me (almost 10 years). The fact is that if you look at the Toshiba download page you will find drivers for Windows 95 and not for 98.

    He has also voted player of CD-ROM. try to install it. Either way, I found information that the CD-ROM drive on this unit is not bootable.

    Good bye

    Hey there Scotchman2926,

    I understand that you are experiencing some problems with Apple music on Sierra. I have a few suggestions to help you solve this problem. First of all, if you are unable to access the iTunes Store as well as music from Apple, use the information in this article to help resolve this problem:

    If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support

    If this does not resolve the problem, you might try signing out of your Apple ID in iTunes and then connect again.

    Hmm... It looks like a 3rd party software notification.
    You may have removed (uninstalled) a program, but the registry contains some bad entries that cause this strange notification.

    You know the free app "CCleaner"? It repairs and cleans them registry and system files. Maybe this program might help to get rid of this message...
