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.

  • CD/DVD drive is not detected (Windows Vista). Error message: Please insert a disk (removable disk): __Our device driver is: TSSTcorp CD/DVGW TS-H653L ATA Device.

    Was not aware there is a problem until I tried some recently audio and data CDs.  Have you tried different Web sites to help you, however some of the directions come with a warning that by following certain procedures I can create other problems.  The FixIt tool was not able to install the player.

    Hello

    Please ALL these even if you've done it before as it's often the total process that
    solves the problem. You should also check with the system manufacturer as some readers do not use windows
    by default the drivers and need their own, use the bottom and if no joy check on the site of the manufacturer of the system.

    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.

  • L750D-14R satellite - cannot install the driver for the TouchPad Win7

    Hello

    I have a problem with drivers for the touchpad. I downloaded v 15.2.11.1 Synaptics and me couldn't install them.
    "Installation of Synaptics (sync TP) ranked" I've got Windows 7 x 64. I've looked everywhere but I can't find any information on this problem.

    If someone knows what can go wrong and how can I fix this problem I would appriciate it.

    Never had any problems with installing the touchpad driver.
    I guess its not the touchpad driver problem but the problem with your system.

    First, you must uninstall the old driver for the touchpad.
    This can be done in the control panel-> programs & features

    Clean the system using some freeware like for instance CCLeaner tools.
    Restart the laptop between procedures.

    Then download driver Synaptics driver Toshiba UE page.
    Alternatively, you can try to install the driver for the Synaptics driver page: http://www.synaptics.com/resources/drivers
    In my case it worked and this driver has added some additional options that I would change in the Synaptics touchpad settings

    Please help me

    Hello

    LAN installation is very easy.
    First of all, you need the correct LAN driver.
    In order to download the LAN driver please visit the Toshiba driver page and choose your model of laptop.

    Once the LAN driver has been downloaded, you will need to decompress.
    Then you will need to access the Device Manager, choose the controller Ethernet (network cards) and must point to the place where the LAN driver was decompressed.

    Then finish the installation procedure.

    Apparently after a Windows Update, computer of my wife, which is connected to our printer via ethernet through our Linksys E3000 router connection, lost that connection. As the driver was out of date anyway, I downloaded just the updated driver and tried to install it after checking that all traces of the old version have been removed using the HP uninstaller program.

    Inummerable times today, tried to install the driver. I either get the the point where installation asks what kind of connection I have and when it shows via ethernet I get an error message about the MpsSvc (Windows 7 firewall) be stopped or the installation fails generate a message that says missing a setupfile. I tried to disable the firewall in Norton Internet Security and AV and the installation always fails. I tried to turn on the Windows Firewall, via the the Task Manager (with the NIS firewall off) nothing works.

    One of the solutions I found on this forum with an HP Expert was to use the complete package to install the driver. Even if I'm NOT all the programs that come with it (there is the possibility to choose what you wanted but not more) I tried. I still received the message to set firewall scenario and then had to uninstall all the programs I didn't want in the first place.

    There are two other computers in the House connected wireless to the printer and both work very well. I even tried the road wireless with this computer, nothing is done.

    I know I'm not the only one we encounter this problem as I saw other postings but I have yet to see a solution that works. I'm trying not to get both frustrated and angry but it must be an otherwise difficult problem to solve. Before the update Windows and update the driver of HP, this computer worked fine with this printer. There is a conflict between HP software and Windows 7. Please give me a solution that actually works.

    I finally found a relatively simple solution that worked. First of all, I unzipped the driver of a CD-based package. Then, I clicked on the Start button and open "devices and printers". Then I clcked on "add a printer".  I chose "add a network printer". As Windows did not have the selected HP C410a among the choices of the printer, I have disk driver and connected to the CD file. Windows finds the driver, installed and everything works as it should. Certainly, the icon of the printer is not the C410A but all the functionality of software works so I don't care.

    On my wife's computer, I followed the same procedure except that I chose the option "Local printer", as his office is connected to the router via an ethernet cable. For some reason, his computer also had the HP C410A among printers whose drivers available and Windows loading automatically good. Everything is fine with his computer in terms be able to print. Again, not the cool little icon C410A under "Devices and printers", but it works.

    The really good part of doing it this way is that I didn't have to install all the unwanted HP softerware which comes with the "complete package".

    I appreciate everyone's help.

    Hello

    You are right. If the device has an Intel WLan card you n t need to install Atheros utility and Atheros WLan driver. But you need the Intel WLan driver.
    I don t think that the problem is the utility Configfree. In my opinion you should check into the full background due to CPU performance process using Task Manager.
