    I have 2 steps check activate my Microsoft account and authenticate using the authenticator application for Windows Phone 8.
    I signed on the Microsoft account on my PC after switching to a local account and on the Microsoft account. I used normal password (not the app since it does not accept it).

  • A satellite - DVD Drive not seen by Windows Explorer

    The DVD on D deive is not seen by windows Explorer. Used to work, it has now disappeared. The dvd hardwars starts at the start, then stop.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Hello

    You see the DVD drive in Device Manager and you then yellow exclamation points?
    Maybe you should just remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. Select the drive in the Device Manager, right-click on it and choose uninstall. Then, restart the laptop.

    If it doesn't work try the workaround posted by Akuma to remove upper and lower filters.

  • Media card internal drive not seen by Windows 7 Pro 64

    The return of the story is this: my Dell Inspiron 546 recently dropped when the HARD drive failed terminally.  "Rather than replace the HD, I opted for the upgrade of ' with a refurbished desktop computer.  I'm done with a Dell Optiplex 760 MT, which I am very happy with.  He has a new 128 GB SSD mounted and I have a new 1 to Seagate Barracuda disk HARD ready to go in it, when I get a longer SATA data cable for it.

    In any case, I got a few pieces off the Inspiron to go in the Optiplex: memory card reader 2-4 GB of RAM, DVD - RW and media 3.5 "internal.  The RAM of works well (taking the system to a total of 6 GB).  The DVD - RW works fine (once I activated the SATA port in the BIOS).  However, the card reader does nothing.

    I plugged into a vacant USB connector on the motherboard, which has been marked something like "INT USB".  However, Windows doesn't see it, and it does not show in the Device Manager.  It's as if she is not there at all (no lights, nothing).

    This card reader worked fine on the Inspiron (which was an AMD Athlon 64 machine, but running Windows 7 it 32 b).

    Any ideas?  I had a glance through the BIOS and can't see anything obvious.  I assumed that being a USB device, it would just spring to life, but I do not.

    The fixed.

    First, to use the USB header, you should disable the "floppy" in the BIOS.  I tried this but it didn't work.  However, the service manual indicates before installing the drive, then I unplugged the drive, put under tension, then stopped again, plugged in and restarted, you must disable the floppy.  I also disconnected and re connected the cable at the end of the drive.

    According to these fixed it, I don't know, but now it's the hunky dory, seen in the maps of Manager and reading of the device as it should.

  • Windows thinks flash drive memory card reader - will not let me import the photos.

    I have Windows XP on my lap top. When I plug my USB memory card reader, Windows thinks that it is a flash drive, and if I try to open it, it just says: "insert in the drive. There is no drivers for the memory card reader - it was designed that way, I think. The memory card reader used to work fine with my laptop, but no more.

    Can someone tell me what's happened and how to fix it? Thank you.

    ====================================
    Just guess... could this be a hardware problem?

    If you have more than one port... try USB to another.

    Maybe you can connect the camera to your laptop via
    USB cable and see if you can download your photos.

  • Windows XP prevents me from installing the new hardware as my Canon camera and memory card reader.

    original title: problem with new hardware

    last week, windows xp prevented me from installing new hardware, namely a canon digital camera and a memory card reader. Although the system recognizes the material into the machine, when you are looking for auto install it asks me for the service pack 3 cd, which I did not. I never had problems, install new hardware before. Any ideas why this happens?

    · What is the exact error message that you receive with error code if any?

  • TouchSmart HP Envy 15-J104sa memory card reader does not

    I took delivery of a HP Touchsmart from Envy 15 - J104sa, running Windows 8.1 this week and the internal memory card reader does not work. It does not recognize SD cards (I tried more than one) and continues as if nothing has been inserted; Don't display an error message. The cards work on my previous HP laptop. The only way to get the laptop to show an inserted SD card is to run the driver software update (http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63001-63500/sp63415.exe) whenever an SD card is inserted; This must be done with the card in the reader. If the software is running and then the card nothing happens. If the card is ejected and then re-inserted (or a new card inserted) it is not recognized and the process must be restarted and the driver reinstalled even though nothing has changed.

    Can someone please help me with this question or I'll have to go back to the HP laptop. I do a lot of photography so being able to read fast and reliable SD card is extremely important for me; It is not a problem, I was expecting a new laptop all right out of the box.

    Thanks to you all.

    Unfortunately not, updates of driver solves the problem, but an update of the BIOS through the HP helper application seems to have resolved the issue. While I appreciate there were not specific drivers available in my opinion, it is difficult to accept that HP should be able to release a model where they know the equipment are not fully supported by the operating system and in this case does not work.

    KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 installed, but not "seen" by Windows Update

    Today (Tuesday 22 may 2012), after seeing the yellow icon in the taskbar, I ran Windows Update and KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 successfully installed, I turned off the PC by clicking on the red icon Turn Off with a shield icon, expected for all 3 updates to install, 4-color and for the PC to stop itself. It took a while, but everything went well. No error message.

    After turning on the PC, I went back to Windows Update and was surprised to see Windows Update suggests to install... KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 which is the same three components I have installed successfully.

    I ran Microsoft Fix It that 1 issue (update of Windows components needs to be repaired (next line) repair of components Windows Update.) I clicked Next. Everything went well. I had a green check mark 'Fixed '.  I turned off the PC (without having to install 3 updates which I have already installed).

    I turned on the PC and went to Windows Update, asking me to install KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073. It's like Windows Update does not "see" that these 3 elements have already been installed.
