  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  Several good info here:

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

  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

  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

• HP laptop computer 635: need driver for wireless router

  Hello. I had to replace the hard drive of my laptop computer and a new operating system, Windows 7 Pro, after which it cannot connect to the wireless router. It's a router Westell A90-750018-07. I have a Tablet Android working on this particular router and want to download the driver on it and put it on the flash drive to reinstall on my laptop. Is that going to work? Where can I download it? FairPoint is now 14.99 an extra month of me now for a Support technique Premium. They are waiting for me to borrow a laptop to try to help him to do so. They seek to use the android on the phone, but it seemed to complicated with android as a third party. Will this work? Please if someone could help would be great. Thank you.

  You need the driver for the card installed in your 635 wireless. Problem is that you will know which card you have Ralink, Realtek or Atheros. The drivers are all posted on your support page:

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/readIndex?sp4ts.Oid=5086540&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4059

  If you don't know what wireless card, you need to get the id of the hardware in the Device Manager. Right-click the network adapter, choose Proprietes.dans the window that opens click on the Details tab use the selector drop-down menu to choose the hardware id. After the first string of numbers - or at least the first half of the chain.

• Using a LAPTOP computer and external drives to implement infrastructure ESX4 & vsphere.

  Hi, people.

  Not been not not possible for me to acquire a robust and compatible to get by under ESX 4 Server (physical space at home, so many components niggle and not much more money to spend in), the only way that I would have to set up about 5/6 of the virtual machines in a field of messaging infrastructure running ESX4 in a portable high power (on the quad-core i3 / i5 or i7 processor) at least 6/8 Gb. RAM enough to satisfy my needs and requirements of the virtual computer.

  However, there is another parameter to be considered: external drives for execution of VMFS file systems, because modern systems (Sata, Pata, disks etc. interfaces) are not compatible for loading system; No virtual machine are taken care on them and, in case of, the performance will never good if each of them was running at the same time.

  The previous ideas must do some open and helpful (I'm sure they will) thoughts and advice:

  (1) has (or had) everyone feels with ESX4 in a processor of high power like the kind of I mentioned earlier? What has the vendor/model and material?

  (2) in the case of, how do you solve the question about to running 5 or 6 external drives for disc not computer usb virtual (AFAIK, ESX3 doesn´t support of USB drives)? NAS home (for example, LinkSys NAS200) is not enough to implement my desired purposes?

  (3) in my situation, the need of presentations good getting on ESX 4 and practice to get VCP certified, what has been your best idea in a hardware platform with space for?

  As usual, I'm very nice for your answers and advice.

  Andy.

  What you need to do is really not possible for a laptop - since it is a home network, I would look to get a whitebox - check-vm - Help.com or http://ultimatewhitebox.com/ sites dedicated to helping people like you looking for a box of cost effective to run reliable ESX -.

  By Michael Petersen - kongkuba difficulty no work reader of CD in Vista and windows 7

  When you upgrade a computer to Windows Vista or Windows 7 Beta, or install Windows Vista Service Pack, and after a reboot, the computer CD/DVD drive no longer works as expected, or it says driver is not digitally signed, you need to remove the affected filter drivers.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open the registry change (Regedit.exe).
  2. Locate and then click the registry key under:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

     Warning
     To make sure that you are in the appropriate registry key slot, make sure that the default data value is the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and the class data value is CDROM.

     

  3. In the pane, click UpperFilters, and then click Remove.
  4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion of the UpperFilters registry entry.
  5. Do the same with the LowerFilters
  6. Exit the registry editor and restart the computer.

  Only he, the CD/DVD should now work as expected.

  Can anyone help please?
  My CD ROM / DVD Drive failed. I tried troubleshooting etc but not available. The computer does not recognize I have a CD / dvd as a player he says that is not recognized by the register?
  I also have a virus that I can't get rid of, it's maybe part of the problem (Trojan horse - Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c) I ran many viruses, spyware and trojan controls but there is no cure yet?
  I tried the system recovery, but it won't let me get it back to an earlier date.
  I can't use my restore disk because the computer does not recognize the drive. A catch 22 situation.
  Can anyone offer any other advice that throw it out the window?

  HI Paul,.

  I think that your first priority will be to remove the virus from your laptop. The following link contains the virus details: -.

  http://securityresponse.Symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/W32.Desktophijack.html

  You are shown in the BIOS to CD-ROM? If yes then set to be the first selectable boot device and you should be able to load your recovery disk and restart it.
