    Hello

    Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you've done it before as it's often the total of the process which
    solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    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 loose 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 burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

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

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
    Your player registry entries.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
    other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved 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 registry settings correct for your CD/DVD drive

  • CD burner will play CDs but not burn correctly

    I have Dell inspiron 1720 I bought 1 year ago (just in time for the guarantee at the end) and the CD/DVD writer will play media correctly, but when I try to burn CDs of any type they will not play in any stereo at all. When the problem started they would play but a few songs would be crackling, now they don't play at all. My records are closed properly so I tried to download the driver from dell.com, but when I open it, it will not install because it says I need to close applications even if everything is closed. I don't know if it's a driver problem or what, but I need a CD burner, who works for the school!


  • After being opened for a while (with several tabs) Firefox does generally and repeatedly play a sound - video will play again, but not sound.

    This problem started happening only recently. I often keep my Firefox open all night with sites like rainymood.com or grooveshark.com playing, as well as several other tabs, including but not limited to Facebook, YouTube, and Reddit. Sometimes, after a few hours/days to not restart Firefox or my computer, Firefox starts to become insensitive - i.e., pages take a long time to load, opening new tabs is difficult for the browser and videos will have up to 30 seconds to start playing. In addition, the sound stops playing. If I start a YouTube video, after the initial period of excessive load, the video will play, but without any audio. Also, sites such as rainymood.com and grooveshark, even Facebook, stop sound.

    Note that this is different from an incident of flash plugin - when flash falls down, the audio and video become inaccessible and a simple refresh or restart of Firefox will solve the problem. But what is happening here is different; If I refresh the tab, nothing changes, and even if I restart Firefox, it opens the same way again until I restart my computer completely.

    Also of note: I had, in the past, this same thing happens, but rainymood.com continued to play, however no other tabs would make sound. The problem is sporadic and I don't know where to start. Also, sometimes it's only a problem of Firefox specific, which means other programs on my computer can make sounds, but sometimes this problem makes my computer all stop making sounds, with the exception of Ventrilo, which works, but is also insensitive in the beginning.

    The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
    Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions, open Web sites and preferences.

    To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

    1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

    Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

  • Incompatibility of fix SQL: installed in the PDB but not in the CDB - how to fix?

    I have a 12.1.0.1 database in which I wanted to migrate a number of PDB files in the AL32UTF character set. To do this I created a second database (temporary) with the character OK, unplugged and re plugged each PDB and ran the DMA you to migrate the PDB files - all right.

    Then, I dropped the first database and built another one with the correct character set.

    When I disconnect and reconnect the PDB from temporary to the new database, I get the PDB next violation:

    PDB_ACPT_CLONE SQL patch 19648840 offset: installed in the PDB but not in the CDB.

    This patch had been applied to the original and then rolled database before the new and temporary databases have been created.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Looks like the restoration of the original patch in CBD was not perfect.

    Option could be applying the fix to the PIC and try to plug in the PDB.

  • Gradient tool creates not mixtures of smooth - how to fix this?

    Hey guys and girls,

    I can't understand it. When I use anti-aliasing for smooth straightening tool, mixtures out jagged and horrible, as if it is a mixture of step, and not a mixture smooth. I used the tool before using the shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + B) or using it via the object > blend way and it worked fine, but now Illustrator does not want to create a smooth mixture.

    What I'm trying to say is; is there an option that is originally for this I may have accidentally turned on, or has my copy of Illustrator, mode of stupidity and I need to reinstall?

    I have attached photos of what I mean with the settings I use and outputs. I hope that your collective mind can smack it in the face. I don't know that I'm doing something ridiculously simple to cause this.

    I use Illustrator CS5 and my PC material is listed below.
    -Intel i5-2500 3.30 Ghz

    -nVidia GeForce GTX 560

    Thanks in advance.
