Need help to install vista on a pc that can not read the DVD

• 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!

  It does not work because you have an OEM license, which means you need to call Dell for support. After 15 months that Dell could not even provide free assistance.

• Need help to install Vista Ultimate x 64 SP1 - error 0x800F081F - standard corrections do not work

  I have trouble getting Service Pack 1 installed on Windows Vista x 64 final.

  Current issue: SP1 does not appear as an update, and I have not yet installed.  Windows Update tells me that I'm completely up to date.

  History (memory, may be some errors):

  • Performed the new installation, including Vista Ultimate x 64 disk erasure (MSDN)
  • Updated to current with windows update
  • Installed Office 2007 Ultimate (MSDN) (don't know where update what happened)
  • Active Windows (could be a problem doing this after you install updates?)
  • Installed CPU usage, network, gadgets sidebar discs counter meter
  • Installed Live Family Safety
  • Installed Chrome
  • Installed Google Apps
  • Google Pack antivirus installed
  • Installed Google Earth
  • Attempted a manual installation of SP1 - fails with the error 0x800F081F
  At the present time, I can't get a manual of installation of SP1 to work, and Windows Update tells me that I am up to date.  -> System control panel tells me I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, but does not list all service packs.  He also confirmed that the x 64 edition is installed.
  Steps for debugging:
  • Installed the drivers for the sound card motherboard
  • A ran complete chkdsk on drive to repair bad sectors
  • Ran the system file checker - find corrupted files, but can't fix
  • Journal CBS does contain no [SF] cannot repair the entries
  • Installed continues to update the system tool - tool does eventually make a update facility - who settle whenever I run

  System Information Link: http://www.filedropper.com/systeminfo

  [1] this is a new installation, so nothing has been pre-installed.

  [2] the only antivirus that was installed is the one that is included in the google pack.  I took it...

  [3] SP1 does not appear as an update

  [4] I'm strongly considering just clean wiping and [do a clean install]

  A1. If Vista was preinstalled on the computer when you bought it and you use the OEM disks (or hidden restore partition) to reinstall Windows, any antivirus free trial which initially is preinstalled on the computer will be reinstalled, but not valid.

  A2. You have therefore no anti-virus application installed. I see.

  A3. There are several prerequisite updates that must be installed before SP1 will be offered. See...

  Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 service Pack is not available for installation via Windows Update
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948343

  A4. Since you do not have an antivirus application installed, it would be your best bet. See...

• Need help to install Vista on a netbook with XP

  Several problems here.

  I'm shooting for is to install Vista on my Dell netbook (model 1011).

  As it is not a dvd player... I can't use the Vista installation dvd.

  I'll settle for dual-boot XP and Vista if there is a way to cram in there.

  If there is a viable way... could XP then removed leaving only Vista?

  Almost forgot... This is Vista Home Premium.

  Some web searches shows that I should be able to install via USB multiboot... but I don't understand how to do it.

  Any help appreciated!

  Hello

  Did you check with Dell to see if Vista drivers are available for the Netbook?

  If this isn't the case, available Vista would not work properly.

• I have a computer running VISTA. The CD-ROM/DVD-rom does not work and can not read the CD of the program that I placed in it.

  It won't read a DVD.  It will not read ANY CD or DVD.  I tried 12 different CD/DVD.  This isn't an upgrade to Vista; the computer came "made for Vista" with Vista installed on it.  I had added Nero.  I removed Nero.  I did all the updates. I have not released the driver and reinstalled.  He claims to have the latest driver software, but it won't work.  The computer can see the CD/DVD, but he calls it a 'CDROM '.  It is not the case.  It is a DVD/Cd-RW with Labelflash.

  I did everything suggested that past discussions.  I ran FIXIT program that claims that the drive works properly.  It is not the case.

  I tried to get various programs to recognize.  They cannot see the installed media.

  I uninstalled iTunes.

  Please do not give me the answer of cut-and - paste stock; It does not work.

  Please tell me what to do to make Vista see the media inserted in the CD/DVD-RW drive.

  Thank you.

  Reset.

  Occasionally, install an upgrade or a re - install will fix the problem and of course the drive or other hardware issues
  could be at stake.

  =====================================

  Here's the answer, just in case there is something you don't have, and I start up and down.

  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

  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.

  ===========================================

  You can try an In-Place Upgrade (hopefully save programs and data) or a repair installation (if all goes well
  saves the data, and you need to reinstall the programs). Be sure to do a good backup or three.

  You can use another DVD that are not protected but you will need to copy you have the product key.

• Trying to install HP 3050 on preliminary DJ can not find the driver.

  I tried to install dj hp 3050 all in one j610 on preview of Windows 8 Windows, but Windows Developer responded to no driver found for the operating system. What I can do.

  Windows Developer Preview: OS General Questions:

  http://social.msdn.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/windowsdeveloperpreviewgeneral/threads

  Given that Windows 8 has not been released yet not all drivers will work with him. Some drivers are very precise on the version of operating system, you may need to wait until they release the pilots of Windows 8 (if they make it to your model).

  If HP doesn't have a Windows 8 pilots, are looking for Windows 7 drivers.

  Download drivers

  Visit the manufacturer's Web site and select your computer model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download drivers for your model. Download the driver (s) and follow the instructions to install - every computer is different, so I can't give you exact directions.

  If the drivers do not install, try their installation in compatibility mode.

  Troubleshoot Compatibility
  This can help with some (but not all the) programs/drivers:
  (1) uninstall the program, if it is already installed. Then when install you / reinstall instead of double click on the Setup file, right click and select 'resolve compatibility issues.
  (2) then click on 'Try recommended settings' and in the next window, click on "Start the Program" to install it.
  (3) after he set up see if it works properly. Note: some programs are perhaps not able to run in Windows 8.

  Hey kimberlynothis

  If you have already reinstalled vista and you don't know the product key we can not help you

  If you had contacted these forums before you reinstalled vista we helped you with key finder programs

  but as this is a new installation of vista not activated we cannot help you find the product key

  If it is preinstalled, I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your computer and ask them about recovery disks

  normally, they do not require you to select a product key when you use them to reinstall vista

  you don't say how you reinstalled vista

• I installed Windows XP Home Edition. Can not find the wireless network drive

  I installed Windows XP Home Edition on my spare PC.  Now I have wireless network card in the computer and problems to find the drivers for it, and I don't know what brand it is, so I know it's kind of makes it harder too.  Then I also have to start the computer, but if I press F1, the computer starts well

  I was just wondering how can I get rid of this?

  

  Disable all devices that can connect to your router (wired or wireless)...

  • PCs
  • Laptops
  • Tablets
  • Smartphones
  • Smart TV
  • Printers
  • Networked storage
  • Another thing that I have not mentioned above!

  Put on your router and wait for the normal light distribution. Then turn on all devices.

  I hope that your ip address conflict went away. Generally ip conflicts can happen when the router is running again without doing the same with all devices later.

  If you have even an ip address conflict, it is possible that you forgot something above or can someone use your router without your knowledge.

  Your router's wireless network is secure? Ideally with WPA2 encryption?
