• Problem with playing video games, DVD and CD audio with windows Vista.

  I had a problem to read these types of discs with my hard drive. It does not recognize that there is a disc at all. This ONLY happens with new discs I get, for example by trying to install a new video game or download a new album that I just got. If I want to play a previously installed game I put game disk in and it works perfectly fine. This only happens with new games that I have not yet installed. E.g. I want to play starcraft, previously installed. I put the cd in starcraft and the game appears as usual. But if I want to install starcraft II nothing happens when I put StarCraft II in the disk drive, even if I go to my computer and double click on your drive, it just opens the CD door and asks to put a disc in when we're already here.

  I tried MR. Fix and it recognizes that there is a problem but is unable to repair. I tried to uninstall the disk driver and not the fixed not restart, but who either.

  Hello

  You have disk 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.

  A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  -----------------------------------

  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.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

• Whenever I try to play a game I get a pop-up window saying I need to update my Flash Player from Adobe.  I did 3 times

  I tried to play Candy Crush & Solitaire all day and every time I try I get a pop-up window saying I need to download a new version.  I have downloaded 3 times today & reset my email and password and still can't get anything to load.  What is going on???

  This password is presented by your operating system and is designed to prevent you from accidentally installing the software.

  If it comes to your personal computer and you don't need a password to connect to the computer when it first starts, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to go to this prompt.  If it comes to your personal computer and your normal password does not work, make sure that CAPS LOCK SHIFT is off, and then type the password carefully.

  If this is your work machine and he asks an administrator password, well, you will need to have a conversation with your computer friendly.

• After playing the game the Sims 2, impossible to shut down the computer, get black screen

  Hi all

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I recently installed the Sims 2 DVD Edition. The game itself works very well. He's not planting or lag or cause my computer is turned off. I can walk much and create characters; what I noticed is that some of the sound effects play, which is minimal.
  However, after playing the game and I'm going to shut my computer down, the screen just goes black and the computer stays on. The processor will run nothing will work. The computer just stays, but the screen remains black. He doesn't even go to the "shutting down" screen or anything. Straight black. I let it stay like that for 15 minutes just to see if maybe, it was just to take some time, but the computer still shuts.
  It normally stops if I do not play Sims 2.
  Original title: Sims 2 causing my computer does not shut down properly?
  I think I have Directx 11, because when I installed my graphics (ATI Raedon 7770) it updated automatically to that. I play other games like Skyrim here, which does not cause this weird close the thing. I installed the patch from EA Games for the game itself, as well.
  Help would be appreciated, because I'd really like to be able to play Sims 2! If one of the expansion packs resolves that it be so. Anything to solve this problem!
  Thank you.
