  I don't have a DVD player on my computer, check the Net tells me tht I would need an external DVD drive that must be compatible with my computer which is Windows XP.

  Hello

  Most of the USB 2.0 DVD burners will be compatible XP (be sure to get a burner so you can make CD
  and DVDs and not just play).

  A very good source of information would be supported by the manufacturer of your system and their forums (if any).

  Another good source would be your local computer store or even a major retailer like Best Buy
  or the FRY.

  This is good, but there are many good brands.

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• Optical drive fails to read most DVD

  Product: HP Pavilion dv4t-1500, Windows 7 64 bit OEM.

  A few weeks ago, my DVD drive stopped reading DVDs. I put a DVD and close the door and turns upward, then worms down, turns up, then down. And most of the time it never load the video content. Often, it is rather a dialog box asking if I want to burn a CD/DVD.

  I first thought that I had a defective CD/DVD drive. So, I bought one on eBay for $23 (taking care to get exactly the same drive). The same behavior persisted. So, I put the original disk in.

  I found an article online that said something about the upper filters, and I followed these instructions. Still no change.

  I then did a manual removal of the optical drive drivers by using Device Manager. After the restart and Windows loads, I tried again, and there was still no change.

  Then I did a system restore to the restore backup hard disk. Still no change.

  I'm at a loss to know what to do now. I can't do a clean install of an OEM installation. I have to buy a Windows 7 upgrade for $119 do a clean install. But before that I have to do a clean install of XP Pro, but I can't do it because I have not the SATA drivers are needed.

  Any ideas on how to get the Windows 7 system and its optical driver play together? Thank you!

  You are the very welcome.

  I can't update the firmware of any kind (HARD drive, optical drive) on the support page and the driver of your laptop.

  Enjoy your PC.

  I always found that they seem to go much more vivid when you make your own custom installation of a simple BONE and just add the necessary drivers and software you need.

  Best regards

• Reception of IDE Device doesn't have ECC circuits error when starting

  I have a Dell Dimension 2400 PC.  The Dell monitor recently stop working and emitted a strange smell.  I replaced it with a Samsung EX2220.  From the start, I had problems getting started upward.  I get a message that is not found primary drive 0.  I ran the diagnostics and got "IDE Device failed circuit ECC error."  When I tried to boot from a diskette, there so--"an Exception has occurred in the DISK module. MDM! No mapping found line! "I was able to start later (open the lid, removed all devices, etc.), but it takes awhile.  I've turned off in several days because I'm afraid that there will always be problems.  It worked very well; Therefore, I don't think there is a problem with the hard drive.  I was also unable to start in safe mode.  I would like to press the F8 key but kept getting keyboard failure.  I would be grateful for any advice on how to proceed with this problem!

  Hi 4EverGrateful,

  We recommend that you first of all to you allows to cross check if the IDE cables are connected correctly to their connectors on the motherboard.

  Try these steps and check the result.
  Step 1: Change the priority on a hard drive boot device in the BIOS
  a. start your computer, press the button Delete permanently to BIOS screen see.
  b. change hard disk boot device priority.
  c. Press F10 to save the settings and restart the computer.

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  original title: Gears of War for PC (Vista)

  I installed Gears of War game CD on my computer (Windows VISTA) and make me "Please insert the correct DVD - ROM, click OK and restart the application" - but the disk is IN the drive.  I've been on the net and does not know what is the problem and why this game will not run.  I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled tried to run as administrator, got the latest patch, all the things that have said all sites to do - anyone have any ideas?  Any help would be appreciated!  Thank you!

  Hi NoOneSpeciale,

  It is very possible that your CD may be damaged.  Is it possible to get another copy to try on your machine? Or try this copy on another machine to see if it works or not.
  Also check in control panel--> system--> for you Device Manager make sure that there is no yellow/red icon next to the CD player and it's function correctly.

• Windows XP SP3 - reader DVD - RW 'Incorrect function' on blank CD

  I get an 'Incorrect function' error on both of my readers of DVD - RW on Windows XP. I investigated the issue for a few days and came away empty-handed.

  1. I tried to delete upper/lower filters in the registry. This helped to ensure that they are detected but nothing else.

  2. I tried to update the drivers for the two drives via firmware update. This makes them as readers of DVD - RW instead of just the CD players, but I still haven't burn the ability.

  3. I tried to edit the registry in order to see a 'Registration' tab on the properties of the drive. Even after that change it, the tab never appears. I tried to switch between settings (1, 2 or 3) between each of the two drives, but it makes no difference in the combination.

  4. I ran various "Fix - Its", including one that claimed that the two discs were not able to burn. See #4.

  4. I tested two drives with third-party software, and they work much like the burners. However, the vendor I work with that requires Windows to be able to do the burning. I worked with them and they insist the problem is on my end and revealed no useful. I'll assume it's Windows and not their own software which poses problem.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  If they are IDE drives, SATA, make sure that the jumper pins are correct, if so,

  uninstall both in device mgr, restart, once thru, output, pc shutdown.

  Move the connections on a different IDE slot, reset the pins of the rider as needed, restart

  PC. XP will reinstall their restart. If the connection of different worked, cable

  or card controller pc are bad... In addition, update the chipset installation software

  for the Council, it gives xp drivers software to work properly...

• Qosmio G30 crashes when loading dvd blank media

  I have a fairly new Toshiba Qosmio G30 laptop. I recently discovered that the DVD-R or CD - R blank media insertion causes the system crash BSOD blue screen of death. At the moment I have not tried with other types of media. However, DVDs and pre-recorded CDs play perfectly well. After the BSOD re-boot system and sends an error report to Microsoft.

  http://oca.Microsoft.com/en/response.aspx?SGD=d7398fe5-a09f-4446-A827-3c762777fe89&SID=10

  Hello

  According to the Microsoft Online Crash Analysis, the BSOD was caused by the unknown device driver.
  But it's very strange because the device uses a common MS Windows driver for a CD/DVD drive.

  A question: have you used the OS from the Toshiba restore CD or you made some changes to the operating system?

  However, to my knowledge, not all media are compatible and taken in charge. So eventually the error message because of the use of any compatible CD or DVD.
  You will find the information on compatible media user manual.

• DVD - RW no longer recognizes blank DVD media

  My DVD - RW Phillips will burn on a CD - R, but will not burn on DVD.  Also it will not read the CD - R or DVD - R most recent, I was able to do a year ago.  When I insert a blank disc and try to burn a DVD (it will burn to CD - r), I keep getting error messages that there is no disc in the drive. I checked the Device Manager and it says that the device is functioning properly and I checked for updated drivers, but he said there was no update needed.

  Also, my Sony CD - R will read CD - R, but not burn them more.  DVD problem is recent, the problem of CD - R has been around for some time, but I said just using the DVD burner to burn my CD - r instead.

  Here are my computer specs:

  Dimension 9100
  Intell 4 CPU 3 GHz

  Processor 2.92

  512 MB OF RAM

  Windows XP Professional version 5.1.2600

  CD-ROM/DVD-rom-Philips DVD +-RW DVD8701

  CD - Sony CD - RW CRX217E (it only reads, does not burn)

  (drivers both show up to 5.1.2535)

  I use them to save the jpg photos.  When doing so, I just use the windows provided "highlight, right-click - Copy to 'E', copy disk" implemented.  Very easy and (usually) simple and reliable.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.
