I installed windows 8 and now I have no dvd/cd player

I have a HP Pavilion series g approx. 3 months and everything worked until I installed Windows 8. Now, I have no dvd/cd player. I tried the Manager of devices etc and still no dvd/cd player. I looked on this site but nothing worked (hard to follow, I'm just a simple person and need instructions very very basic) I noticed that there are many people with the same type of problem. How do contact you Microsoft to resolve this issue?

    Hi Radlfly,

    I see that you have some problems with the burner blu - ray on Windows 7. I'll help you with this problem.

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2. What is the brand and model of the blu - ray player?

    3. have you made changes on the computer recently?

    4 is the issue confined to this hard drive?

    I want you to know that Blu - Ray is a patented technology, so need the codec appropriate to buy and this is why we cannot include it in our operating system.

    To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs.

  • I bought around ten year 7 Photoshop and Indesign etc and now I'm using only Photoshop 7. Three months ago I installed Windows 10 and now the ad once I can't use my Photoshop 7 more. Should wat I do?

    The oldest is compared to newer operating systems, it is less likely to work.  If you have been happy with the help of Photoshop 7 then you should be happy with the old operating system as well.  Your options are either to return to a system that supports your software or to buy new software to go with the new system.  CS6 products are still selling as far as I know.  In addition, your only option is to subscribe to the cloud of Creative for Photoshop CC.

    Hi snowglobe22,

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum. We appreciate your interest in Windows 7.

    Upgrading Vista to Windows 7 will affect any of your programs. But it is recommended to backup your data before you begin the installation.

    How to backup a PC

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-7/get/PC-Backup.aspx

    However, because Microsoft is not a technical support for the RC version, it is strongly recommended to leave only known computer users sign up. I recommend you to wait for the RTM and install it instead.

    Here's how to upgrade Vista to Windows 7.


    Before you begin the upgrade:

    • Back to the top of your files on an external hard drive, DVD or CD, USB flash, or network drive.
    • Check the Windows package to make sure that your computer meets the system requirements, you will need Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed and also 8.5 GB of free space on your hard drive.
    • Find your 25-character Windows product key. You can find your product key on your computer or inside the Windows package installer disk-based.

    Steps to upgrade vista to windows 7.

    1. insert the DVD into the drive and start the upgrade Setup program.
    2 click on install now option in the Windows 7 set in place and implementation will begin to copy the files required for installation.
    3 on get the updates for installation page, we recommend getting the latest updates to help ensure a successful installation and to help protect your computer against security threats. You will need an Internet connection to get these updates.

    4 in the license page, accept the license terms, click I accept the terms of the licenseand then click Next.

    5. click on upgrade to aid the which type of installation you want? page if you want to upgrade an existing installation.

    6 installation check upgrade compatibility and gives an error report where all installed applications are not compatible with Windows 7. You will need to uninstall the programs before you start the upgrade.

    7 once compatibility is checked, it starts the upgrade process and follow the instructions on the screen to configure final Windows 7. The keys to Windows 7 will ask you set up during installation, so keep it ready.

    Note: If you upgrade Windows Vista, changes the default task Windows, services and other settings in Windows Vista system can be replaced by the default configuration for Windows 7.

    Hope this information answers your query.

    Kind regards

  • RELOADED Windows Xp and now I have no internet

    Recently something went wrong with my Windows Xp and I had to reinstall the program, but now because it is restored to the way in which we got the computer 6 years ago I can't connect to my internet provider updated. I have Verizon Fios and I have no idea how to do to connect the computer does not detect even a connection. Help, please!

    After you install an operating system, you must then install all the drivers for your hardware. You must install base drivers, including the drivers of the motherboard (chipset) first. Then check with Verizon tech support to see if you need drivers for their service. As you arrive on the Internet, if you need to download your system drivers go to another computer with an Internet connection and get the drivers from there. Put on a USB key to transport to your own machine. If you tell me the make/model of your computer, I may be able to direct you to the drivers directly.

    Never get the drivers from Windows Update. Bring:

    1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
    2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
    3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

    Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.

    To find out what hardware is in your computer:

    1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
    2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
    3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.

  • Installed Windows 7 and now nothing but the trash on the desktop

    I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium as a COMPLETE installation, and now the only thing on my desk is in the trash.  That's happened?

    I can't even connect to the internet, nothing.

    What version of Windows you were using previously? Its possible, you might have made a custom, Setup if you intend to make a place to upgrade.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    Try holding the ALT key during start up your Mac to the top. This will make all bootable discs appear on the screen, so tell me what options you see here. Maybe the Windows installation is damaged or you have removed OS X by mistake.

  • I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 and now I have no option for wireless connection and wireless adapter is not (wireless connections do not show up when I go to set the new connection)

    I recently installed Windows 7 on my PC, and now when I try to set up a new wireless connection, it's impossible. My plug-and-play wireless adapter is not recognized by the computer (but he did more earlier today before installing Windows 7). NETGEAR has the appeal of Microsoft, Microsoft refused to help me for less than 80 bucks, which I can't afford, after buying their product of GD.

    So I was wondering if someone can help me? On my laptop when I go to the networks and together a new network, there is an option to set up a WIRELESS CONNECTION. Can someone help me please? I can't afford $ 80 to tell what drivers to download.

    Thanks and + karma to one who can help me solve this problem.

    Most often when a device does not work, it's because the driver has been corrupted.

    Try reinstalling your.

    My Windows Media program now has two copies of everything. Images, videos and music. What happened and how do I get rid of a copy?

    Hello

    You probably watch the same file twice.

    Add items to the Windows Media Player library - see the monitoring records - and delete a folder
    controlled by the player.
