My computer says dvd correct is not in the drive, but it is.

My computer is not allowing me to install Sims programs... He always says "operating system denied access to the specified file.  Then someone suggested that copy them to my computer first, then install.  Installation for the Sims life stories was a success, but when I try to run it, the computer says: "Place of the good dvd in the drive and restart the application."   The dvd is brand new.  What can be the problem?

A few months ago there was a wave of Windows updates involving the AutoRun. I wonder if a problem with AutoRuns (autorun.inf) causes your grief?  I can't find much about him, but have posted these links in case they give you some ideas.

    Here is the link to the list of the parts for your model.

    http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?SearchText=QU043AA

    The blue ray player has part number

     504941 200

    You can search by part number, I guess HP store parts shows, it is no longer available at HP.

    The problem is that none of us are 100% positive, the drive is bad.

    I could take a look at the front of the car and see if there is no generic who would take too long the buttons to open to try it are similar in size and location, this should work.

  • Micro works not when using Skype. Problem is not with the microphone, but with Skype. Ive tried

    When you use Skype, my internal microphone does not work - friend says that he can not hear the voice, but he can hear other sounds - music on youtube for example. Ive tested the microphone on Skype Echo - it wasn't working at all. I tested it on a voice recorder - MIC was working properly. Also when I just started to use this laptop (3 days ago), I spoke with a friend through Skype for about 3 hours, and then he couldn't hear me suddenly annymore. If something is wrong with Skype. Computer consultant suggested me to contact Skype support technicians.

    In Skype, open Tools-> Options-> Audio settings. There is more than one option available in the selection box for Microphone?

  • Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

    I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

    Hi Bill,

    To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

    As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    If you have the following AV, antivirus, programs installed, close your Windows Defender. Purpose of these AVs have their own advocates. 2 defenders on the same machine will create conflicts.

The drop-down list does not contain CS6 Design and Web Premium.  What should I do to get loaded and enabled on my computer?

    That fall down, and the serial number you provide must identify the previous version that you upgraded because CS6 is an upgraded version in your case.

    Hello

    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.
