my dvd/cd drive and all other removable drives are more recognized since an update from microsoft

I need help! My CD/DVD drive has disappeared, it is not even in the BIOS, and all the other removable disks since I installed an update from Microsoft. I went through all the troubleshooting steps and nothing has worked, including the fix it. How can I fix it? I contacted Microsoft and back an email that I had to PAY for technical support to resolve this issue. Which seems hardly fair since there was an update on their part that messed up my laptop. I have a Gateway MX8738 with Vista Home Premium. I have not seen the error messages it just that there is no CD/DVD drive installed and when I check in my computer the only things that are displayed are the drives C and D.

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.

Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check the cables
both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean the
power and data of the contacts with a pencil eraser.

Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer
and the manufacturer of the 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
(Read burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD). It's not unusual for 1 or 2 parts to not
function, while others do so correctly.

Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

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 to what I believe are the ones in question - for the CD/DVD drive subkeys
course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask involved specific keys
as well as the parameters.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

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

You can probably find more info here and maybe even right for registry settings
your CD/DVD from someone with the same drive model.

  • DVD player all of a sudden are more recognized

    DVD player worked fine, but suddenly, the system does not recognize the drive when I insert a disc that has data on it, but recognizes when I insert a blank disc. Any suggestions to fix this?

    Some options here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060

    There are various reasons why a CD or DVD drive is not detected. The resolutions that are listed in this article can help in some cases but not all instances of this problem.

  • External drive are more recognized.

    My external hard drive (USB) is not recognized after update firmware multiport.  Is this a known problem or is it possible to re - install the update?

    Don't know if the update of the firmware directly hit the hard drive in question; If

    you have access to another computer, you might see if the drive itself is OK.

    Another possibility is that the hard drive has chosen time to fail (the pregnant, maybe)

    This coincided with the update; the disc in the box can be good. And to

    time, a hard drive could be located by using so that no visible disk utility on the

    desktop computer. Sometimes, if an external hard drive is interrupted during a reading / writing, he

    may not appear later on the computer. Sometimes, another cable can help. Or

    If it is available to test with another adapter, too.

    Have you read this other thread similar problem for ideas?

    Multiport USB - C map update will not install

    Sometimes an external drive or other connected device can be seen again after

    a reboot; or after a re-defined SMC. Not a sure thing, though.

    Sorry I do not have a precise and realistic response to cure this disease.

    In any case... good luck!

    I have a big sound even and odd / problem reading music?

    My computer using windows media player 11 and classic media windows and others to play my music in the hard lists recorded by windows media player 11 copied from my CD.

    But here's the weird problem that only started to happen now, when I play music saved on any one of the players of the computer the sound breaks sometimes but not always?

    I have a newly completed with windows xp home system and service pack 3, and all memory and material necessary for a pc game of level, a new graphics card was installed and by the way the problem of noise was there before this was done?

    I don't know what is the fault? And I don't know how to find out what the required audio driver are for his computer system I?

    I tried the right click on the audio device to see if the pilot could be updated in case that's all? All he asks is a cd or a floppy disk, but I thought you could ask to search for drivers online too?

    He even now breaks the game sounds too!

    Help, please

    If you access Windows Update (start - programs - Windows Update), you can
    see if there is a newer driver. The drivers are optional updates are not so made
    automatically.
     
    Download the driver for your audio hardware manufacturer (or motherboard if
    "It's built-in sound). They are often newer than Windows Update.
     
    This explains how to disable the improvements.

    Hi guys,.

    When you type information in a form in the DC or Pro Player I can enter text with fields of text etc and then save, close and return later to change the form. However once I use the function "Fill & Sign" to sign the document, and then save, it locks the file and all other fields become editable. Is there a way around this to remove this feature where it becomes locked and instead allows me to change the form after a signature is applied and saved. All the security properties of the form are on 'admitted', there is no restriction. Even though the document is locked all the properties remain still as 'authorized '.

    The signing is FINAL.  You cannot sign a PDF paper advance. Complete and save, do not sign.

  • Why my PC does not install updates? Although located to automatically receive my last update was February 2015 and all others have failed.

    Original title: updates

    Why my PC does not install updates? Although located to automatically receive my last update was February 2015 and all others have failed.  Although I tried to reset nothing help.

    Have also tried to download Windows 10 but computer spends all day looking for updates, but nothing happens.

    As its been almost a year that it is updated, you may be better off to backup your data and backup of your entire system, so you can get back to this point at least if something goes wrong. Then:

    Update your anti-virus software and run a full scan. Then download, install, update and run a full scan with Malwarebytesfree. Keep it free, no need to start a trial etc. Malware can be a cause of failure of the updates, the scan won't take long to run and should report something nasty, if its there.

    Then you can try the following:

    1 convenience store update Windows - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter

    2 system update readiness tool - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/what-is-the-system-update-readiness-tool

    3 components of reset update - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058

    4. check that "Windows update service" and "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" are listed and running according to the details in this article - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2730071 "

    If the above does not help, consider trying a 'repair installation system' - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html if you have windows installation discs, or a 'factory reset' (updated) If your PC came with no windows disk and was preinstalled. NOTE - in case backup your data and your system first in the form of data may be lost if something goes wrong, and data will be lost in the case of a factory reset.

    If you do not want to reinstall again, post back with more details, that is at least what is the error code when the updates fail? (find an update failed in "view history update", right click and click details.) Check a bit to see if the same error code. ). Then someone else can we hope to help more.

  • Restore to factory state out of the box. Can I install all updates from Microsoft using Windows update or can I install antivirus first before to connect to internet?

    Restore to factory state out of the box. Can I install all updates from Microsoft using Windows update or can I install antivirus first before to connect to internet?

    Currently Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 x 86 (no patches since 2008). Currently, it has no AV and has not been connected to the internet yet. It will be behind a router.

    I had to redo the factory already reset after be connected to the net for 20 minutes and then a bunch of programs kept crashing saying Data Execution Prevention had to close the program StackHash and BEX error when executing update for HP drivers.

    Maybe I installed Kaspersky first next time?

    What should I do?

    Thank you!

    No problem. Install the updates. You can install the anti-virus later.

    Just don't start browsing the inet by updating.

  • 8.1 Windows title bar flashing (and all other Office 365 home flashes when I stall Net Netgear software engineering)

    I have a problem with WIndows 8.1 THE flashing bar title, and all the other programs that I use as Office 365 programs they are all flashing and disturbing all the data, I'm typing. When it blinks, everything stops. At first I thought it was a Virus. But isn't. When it happened first I just installed router NETEAR and wet router preferences. Finally, the PC sled drops dramatically and the flashing worsened. I did a "Refresh" and the problem was solved. And then downloaded again 'Net genius' of NETGEAR the beginning of the whole problem. It is here where I m now. PC flashes! Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hi David,

    I understand that you are facing problems with Windows 8.1 after installing Netgear software engineering on the computer.

    This problem could occur if the software is not compatible with Windows 8.1, that the problem only occurs after you install the software, that's why I suggest you remove the software and install it in compatibility mode and see if it helps.

    For more information on installing the software in compatibility mode, please see the article below:

    Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows

  • Can I recover the Favorites lost and passwords and all other memory browser information? I lost everything and I don't even know why and how.

    I don't know what happened, but I think that somehow mozilla crashed trying to open Skype (and Skype crashed too) and at the same time, I've lost everything I've ever saved in the browser; PWS, info, all the bookmarks, navigation everything. Is it the 'template' (the custom background) browser. Can you collect all this information? I tried to restore the bookmarks, but he says simply unable to do. Everything is ok and can be restored from, but bookmarks... It is really annoying because I got tons of them and all the important things, now it's all gone. Is anyway to at least recover bookmarks?

  • How can I keep my 2 email accounts and all others using HTML? It lasts only temporarily, i.e. for the day...

    (1) - when I open Firefox, I recently have clicked on the hyperlink at the bottom of page html, it works very well for my gmail and yahoo accounts. However, it is not a permanent solution, it apparently lasts only for the daily session. How can I keep my internet, al. HTML permanently?

    (2) - Firefox v24.0 is supposed to be fast and quick! However, I am not find it so. When I click on a link or open a tab, it is frustrating that the tab work too long to open... More than not, I click reload, which appears to help a little. Any suggestions?

    (3) - I just printed the Mozilla Support Q & A on the Firefox error message indicating that it cannot load the site... How to I remedy this, as it appears constantly with my Yahoo email login?

    (4) Finally, a few weeks ago I jumped inadvertently bookmark 'HEALTH' (I have a bookmarks toolbar), which is excellent (had with WinXP too, now with Win7), but it seems to me to pop, double click or something or other, which blew a folder of bookmarks in the wild blue yonder! I have posted responses here and elsewhere, print and read all instructions variable to navigate and search, all nothing is helping. More sage advice please?

    # 1, is the link to use HTML to simplify the interface?

    Maybe it's that the site stores your preferences in a cookie, and you may have set Firefox to delete the cookie when you quit the browser. There are a few built-in ways to do this:

    • The Firefox value "keep [cookies] until: I close Firefox" on the Privacy Options (you can create an exception for your messaging sites)
    • The value 'Clear history closing Firefox' Firefox on Privacy Options
    • A private browsing window allows to visit the site of your mail

    It is also possible that the modules or external software can clean the cookies, or that there is a problem with the database file Firefox uses cookies to store.

    # 2, you have this problem just started recently? If you find one any relationship with the site content type (for example, pages that use Flash or other media)?
