Im running Windows Vista Home premium OS. After you install Itunes, my computer no longer recognizes cd/dvd players.
How to make the computer recognize cd/dvd players, while itunes is installed
Hello
Too many competing products can stretch resources and cause problems. The power below
be able to get your rear disc with installs it you have in place.
Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
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 loose cable or
slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.
Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

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.
Hope these helps.

I have a laptop Lenovo bought in the spring of 2008 running on Vista Home Premium. After years of basically no problem, I got warnings my memory was almost full. I'm no computer guy, I'm a retired OTR trucker who now lives for people with disabilities. I checked my system and found Lenovo had two partitions on the hard drive. The main logic were my programs were only 30gig on a disk hard 150 gigabytes.
After talking to some friends who know more then me and research, I copied all my personal files on a stick to 4gig and erased the hard drive. Spent New Years day adaptation of files, wipe the HD, install Vista again and then 6 and hours of updates.
Monday, I installed my old files, installed new software and reinstall some of my previous, as well as several updates of Windows.
Tuesday a finer adjustment and more windows updates.
Today, Wednesday, right off the bat I installed another Windows update. Update has been installed, computer shut down, restarted, then the computer stopped at step 1 of 3 @ 97%. I went for half an hour to come back to an error screen telling me I had a corrupted file and to reinstall Vista and using my factor disc repair system. I wasn't allowed this option.
I subsequently through trying different restarts that File:\Windows\system32\winload.exe has been corrupted or damaged or missing Windows update attempt. Given that I had my Windows disk that I was never worried before making a boot disk. I/we (family of 6) do not have the financial means to purchase recovery discs, go to a tech help. We are ourselves. Can someone help me out here? Are all my personal details on my laptop, a lot of money and time tied up in programs, I can't access.
I don't know how this forum works. My email is * address email is removed from the privacy *.
P. S.
With all this, if I have to reinstall windows I better upgrade to a 32-bit on a 64-bit? This will cause problems with existing programs? I see a noticeable improvement in speed? I checked and I can't change to 64-bit.
Hello
Since you have a Lenovo, you can try to get to WinRE among advanced startup options (f8) and performa than a system restore or if you must organize a drive to install Windows Vista full version and try to perform a system restore in Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.
For more information, you can consult the following articles: -

Hello
You are unable to update or upgrade Vista 32 bit to 64 bit of Vista.
32-bit to 64-bit, or 64 bit to 32 bit is done by a new installation using a full version of the operating system.
32-bit and 64-bit are different operating systems.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade [starter to home premium]
original title: Windows UpdateI am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade
No, it will not work.
Windows 7 anytime upgrade: you have Vista or XP currently installed?
If the product you have Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' does not allow to move from XP/Vista to Windows 7. You can buy the product at retail of Windows 7 Upgrade not the ' Anytime Upgrade '.
Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' is for moving from one version of Windows 7 to a higher version, such as Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional.

Original title: help with error message... Please...!
I use a desktop PC of HP Pavilion a6202.uk with Windows Vista Home Premium & Microsoft Office 2003. When I am back from vacation & turned on my PC, my password was OK, but rather to raise Windows, I received the following message: "Windows Vista Home Premium product key you typed in is invalid for activation. He then listed the following options: "access your computer with reduced functionality (this will allow you to buy a product online key)" or "Type a different product key" or "contact HP to help solve this problem."
I have no idea what a product key is and don't have anything either in the type comes to connect as usual. I can't access anything to be same to reduced functionality. I can not type in a new product key because I did not. I can not contact HP - phone number does not... !!
I'm quite desperate, I travel docs to print and e-mail to answer and I don't have any idea what is happening. Please can someone help with this not very IT clued-up DTP...!
Moved from Vista programs Forum.
You should have a sticker with the product key on your computer, on the bottom, or under the battery cover. I try to type this key in and see if it accepts it. If this isn't the case, you might not have an authentic version of Windows installed.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to review my problems and for any help you can offer.
I am running Vista Home Premium, Windows Mail 6.0.6000.16386 and free AVAST version 7.0.1466 program v. When searching for error codes that I receive, I can see this is perhaps a problem with the anti-virus software, but no one says how to solve problems.
First error: your (or SMTP/POP3) server has not responded in 90 seconds. You want to wait 90 seconds for the server to respond? It doesn't matter if I have a bit of waiting time or even increase the time-out threshold.
Error number: 0x800ccc19, 0x800ccc67 & 0x800ccc90
Limit of simultaneous connections in outdated Avast. (Col: 0, process;) WinMail.exe [50]); port 25, Server (SSL): no, Server error 421
I posted this same message on the Forums of Avast at: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=104561.0, but have not received the answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for any help that you may be able to provide.
Thank you
M8TriXGlad to hear it's fixed. This is probably the feature analysis of Avast and most of the other AV e-mail programs. Keep the following in mind that if this happens again.
It is safe to turn off the analysis of e-mail messages. See:
Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email:
http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htmDisable the email option in your antivirus scanning software:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3And it is from Symantec, but applies to all anti-virus programs.
From:
http://snipurl.com/bmf6My computer is always protected against viruses if I disable e-mail analysis?
Disable e-mail analysis won't let you without protection against viruses that are distributed as attachments to email. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans incoming files as they are saved on your hard drive, email and attachments to emails. Scan to email is just another layer on top of that. To make sure that Auto-Protect provides maximum protection, keep active Auto-Protect and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus definitions.
