NEED HELP! Cannot burn CDs...

I was given a HP Pavilion a405n, which has Windows XP on it. I've updated most of the drivers already, but it is impossible to update the drivers from CD/DVD. Creation of dvd - rom and HP CD-Writer + 7200. I don't have the recovery disks that accompanies it for updates. Is there a way to get the recovery discs or do I just replace the drivers all together? When I try to burn a cd, it says there is an error of the driver... being that it is outdated, is this the reason?

Jade,

You can get the recovery herediscs.

  • Satellite L30-113 - cannot burn CDs or DVDs

    I have a Satellite L30-113. Recently my driver failed for my dvd player, until I was able to install a few things and burn CDs and DVDs. Now, I can't record CDs or DVDs.

    Nero and CDBurnerXP for CD/DVD ROM say 'cannot continue burning process as you did not choose the device for recording. CD/DVD ROM propities shows that it does not support recording CDs and DVDs.

    I uninstalled the driver and restarted my computer and it reinstalled the same as that which does not once again. I am a driver update search and xp tells me that the driver is up-to-date. I checked the Toshiba updates with none of these updates for CD/DVD ROM.
    I have no idea on how to fix this unit "corrupted".

    Hi mate,

    I had a similar problem on my Toshiba laptop. So here, I searched a little bin forum and I founded to delete upper and lower filters in the registry. I followed the instructions in this Microsoft article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

    After that, I again was able to burn DVDs.

    In addition, updated driver from CD/DVD isn't necessary because this driver is part of the operating system.

  • Need help, cannot set references to Photoshop.Application in VBA

    Hello

    I've used CS5 in the past and have had a VBA program works well (running in Access 2010) which went very well, open Photoshop 32-bit and controlled photoshop CS5 normally, allowing me to manipulate photos, read metadata, etc.  (It was my understanding that at least for CS5, programs including VBA script necessary to run the 32-bit version of Photoshop, not the 64-bit version).

    About 6 months ago, I installed CS6 and VBA program continued to work perfectly, as it always opens the 32-bit version. (I had to be sure that I was not running 64-bit Photoshop when I started the VBA program).  CS5 was still installed but not used.

    I just uninstall CS5, leaving CS6 installed.  For some reason, he left the program VBA disturbed in that the references (that you set in the window of the VBA code with tools > References) no longer seem to be valid.  I can't set a new reference to Photoshop.Application, and the program became unusable.  In other words, the "references" list is more typotheque Adobe Photoshop CS6 or Adobe Photoshop CS6 Object Library.  I've traveled to the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit) \TypeLibrary.tlb file to add this reference manually.  The programs does not yet compile (for example, appRef As New Photoshop.Application Dim causes an error "User Defined Type not defined").  I get the same failure to compile if I search for and install a reference to the 32-bit version, C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\TypeLibrary.tlb.  In the past, I also had a reference to the 'Adobe Photoshop CS6 Object Library".  I tried manually to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Photoshop.exe or the 64-bit version of Photoshop.exe, but these files are not accepted and I do not otherwise know the location of the file from the object library.

    I so need help from someone who knows how to solve this problem in the transition of CS5 at CS6 to use VBA.

    Thank you

    EGibbon

    There are global keys which crushed with every version of Photoshop. Photoshop.Application gets for example set for each installation of Photoshop. When you have uninstalled CS5 these keys got deleted.

    You can install CS6 again? You don't need to uninstall. Just install again if it will let you.

    I have a script that wil set them, but I don't really like to use it on other machines of people as it messes with the registry and I don't want to make it worse for you.

  • Need help, cannot connect to http sites, https only...

    BLUF: I can connect only to HTTPS Web sites, http gives me 'unable to connect to the server' or "no route to host" errors.

    While I was out of town, the woman finished downloading something on his MBP that cause a lot of pop-up ads any time during the use of the internet.  I ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and it found and removed a bunch of infected files.  All this while the computer was on OS X 10.9.x. Since that time, on any browser (firefox, safari, chrome) we can only connect to the https pages.  For example, http://www.google.com = no go "impossible to connect to the server...". ", while https://www.googlec.com = good, but unfortunately most of the links is http, so it is useless.

    I spent most of the last days 2 pouring on the forums, and troubleshooting to resolve this question... what I did:

    Reset my router (without success, all the remains connected to it is good (everything else is also Android/windows))

    Reset my modem (even had my ISP reset everything they could on their end too)

    Back to zero/reinstalled all browsers,

    erased the PRAM using the option + command + p + r at startup.

    verified that no Proxy box is checked in the advanced network settings

    tried to change the DNS, manual, auto, opendns, 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4, using my ISP DNS googles, nothing changes.

    uninstalled all that was installed last week (not a lot, but now I don't know what it was).

    disabled the browser all extensions/plug-ins.

    IPv6 disabled/re-enabled (set to auto),

    What works:

    Safe mode, internet is full to the top.

    While in safe mode, I was able to connect to the app store (could not in a regular connection or guest user) and upgrade to OS X 10.11.5, but even the installation that does not solve all missing / corrupted files, I always have the same question.

    I thought for sure the new OS would have fixed it, but now I'm really stumped.

    Is there a way to reset completely all network settings? Could get blocked port 80 (http)? How can I tell?

    Any help would be appreciated,

    v/r

    Sean

    (a husband who knows enough about computers to really break, ha)

    First, never use any type of software "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. That's how cause you problems, not how you solve them.

    1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

    The test works on OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

    Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The procedure is easy to do right, but it is also easy to do wrong, so I had very detailed instructions. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

    2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

    You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

    In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, anyone familiar with the code can check what it does.

    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site several times over a period of years. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

    However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

    4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

    ☞ Copy text from a particular web page (not this one) to the Clipboard.

    ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

    ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

    These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

    5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

    You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

    6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

    7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin") in Safari. Press the combination of keys command + A to select all the text, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing command-C.

    8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name ("Terminal") in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

    9. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

    If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

    If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

    10. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

        Test started
            Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.

    The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

    Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appear - again, usually within a few minutes. If you don't see this message in about 30 minutes, the test probably won't be completed within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something.

    In order to get results, the test should be allowed to perform or be stopped manually as shown above. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved.

    11. when the test is completed, or if you manually stopped, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

    If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

    12. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

    13. When you are finished with the test, it is gone. There is nothing to uninstall or clean.

    14. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but all that you can not be. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

    15. the related UNIX shell script is a notice of copyright. ASC readers can copy for their personal use. The whole nor any part can be redistributed.

  • Cannot burn CDs on Satellite Pro L10

    I have a Satellite Pro L10 and impossible to copy data files to DVD/CD player.

    Hello

    Are you trying to burn the files using clean combustion of Windows?

    Hmmm I put t like this feature of Microsoft. I use a 3rd party software to burn data and files on CD or DVD.
    It s Nero burning ROM.
    This tool is really nice and I have not noticed problems using this software.
    You should also test this tool and I'm sure that you will be very satisfied.

    But back to the error message that appeared during the burning process;
    After a lengthy investigation on Microsoft pages, I found very useful knowledge base article Microsoft and information;
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/324129

    The error messageError: cannot complete the wizard of CD writing ofmay occur if the IMAPI CD Burner service is shut down. To resolve this problem, make sure that the service is running and that it has not been arrested. By default, the service is set to manual. Start the IMAPI CD Burner service and then test it by writing on a CD - R or a CD - RW. If the service is running, you may need to set the service to automatic if it does not start in manual mode.

    To set the service to automatic, follow these steps:
    1. click on start, run, type services.msc /s in the Open box, and then click OK.
    2. double-click on IMAPI CD - Burning COM Service.
    3. under the service status, click Start.
    4. try to write data to a CD.

  • Satellite M70-173 - cannot burn CDs or DVDs

    Hello

    I have an old but expensive laptop (Satellite M70-173). The CD/DVD drive is a carpet * a UJ - 841 s and can currently only read DVDs and CDs
    I have Nero installed 8.3.7.1, but it does not allow me to burn any DVD or CD
    I have all the updates that are installed for Nero, have also removed the "upper and lower limits" in the registry.

    It is not a mark of DVD or CD that I have not yet tried, but they all are coasters.

    I have the following options:

    1. try to set the drive - either with the technical assistance of the forum or replace the disk, so I decided that it is a hardware error

    2 buy a new laptop - but also like some advise on how to "clone" of the current notebook that I have so many other programs installed that I bought over the years and do not want to lose.

    I made copies pdf of burning errors I can post if necessary.

    Any help is welcome

    Kind regards
    Juan

    Hello!

    > I made copies pdf errors burning I can post if necessary.
    Yes, I think it's a good idea. ;)
    Otherwise it of a bit difficult to help you.

    But what CDs and DVDs you tried to burn? I have good experiences with Verbatim and TDK. Check it!
    And you should burn on a lower speed for CD e. g. 16 x.

    Good bye
