No driver CD/DVD-ROM don't readers for VGN-AR170?

We have recently reformatted hard drives in our Sony Vaio VGN AR170, due to a hard drive error. Having done this today, we have not been able to find the drivers needed for the CD/DVD-ROM works correctly. We searched the Web and found nothing will load and allow read drives in "MY COMPUTER".

Are there drivers that we can do online that will solve this problem?

Hi beverlyrogers,

The CD/DVD driver is the generic operating system and can be reinstalled from the Device Manager.

Click on the start menu and type: devmgmt.msc in the start search box and press the Enter key to open the Device Manager window.

Expand and then right-click on the category of CD/DVD drive in Device Manager and select the uninstall option.

Then, restart the computer to install the driver for CD/DVD by default operating system.

You can also try the steps below to resolve this issue.

In the right pane, click UpperFilters/lower filters.

On the Edit menu, click on delete.

    There is no special driver for the optical drive of your computer laptop just the drivers Microsoft standard supplied with the XP operating system.

    Make sure you have the "Enable CD writing on this drive" box checked for your optical drive. You can check this by selecting my computer then right click on the optical drive, select properties and then click the recording tab.

  • XP has no DVD-ROM when purchasing drive

    When I bought my Microsoft Windows XP SP2 first, it doesn't have a DVD - ROM drive. How can I change my current drive, a CD-ROM drive, a DVD - ROM drive quickly, efficiently and without a purchase?

    You cannot change the hardware specifications of your existing optical drive. Buy a DVD - RW drive (no interest in buying a ROM) and install it. It is easy enough to install an optical drive. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hi guys

    First of all @Ken Roots:
    Why you suggest you have the same problem, but when I compare the two messages so I put t see similar problems!

    Now @castor:
    In the manual, you should find the media (CD/DVD) that are compatible with your player.
    I found some info on the SD-R2102 and it seems that this car doesn t support the DVD + RW!
    http://www.Toshiba-Europe.com/storage/PFT.asp?page=pft&NAV=ISH_PRS&model=SDR2102&PTYPE=C OMBOSL

    Why you n t check compatibility first! Sorry, but I don't understand the people who write about problems and finally there is no problem.

  • Solution: CD - RW / DVD Rom stutters or has choppy playback

    My computer specs

    Labtop model: Dell Inspiron 5150

    DVD ROM: Samsung CDRW / DVD SN - 324B

    Problem

    After reformatting my hard drive, my DVD-Rom is more play DVD smoothly. I had the playback choppy or stuttering. I use Intervideo WinDVD. Thinking that WinDVD could be the problem I went to Windows Media Player 10, but instead of reading who stutters, the film played too fast.

    The reading was also weird, if I rebooted my computer and used WinDVD immediately, he would run smoothly, but eventually he would return to stuttering. Due to the eccentricity of this work and does not, it was difficult to identify a solution that has worked permanently (this is also the reason why I had edited this post so many times). So, I've listed all of my conclusions and solutions below.

    Solutions

    Difficulty 1

    Download the last update of the BIOS from Dell downloads.

    Here are the direct links for the Dell Inspiron 5150, I posted the update of WinDVD so. Since April 18. 2008:

    Update to the BIOS: ftp://ftp.dell.com/bios/I5150A38.exe

    Update of WinDVD: ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/app/R62171.EXE

    I guess this would work with the other laptop Dell with their respective BIOS updates.

    My results: Windows Media Player was playing much too fast, this corrects the problem DVD. However, regarding the choppy playback, I still had some problems.

    Difficulty 2

    Change your power settings.

    1. Open Control Panel
    2. Double-click Power Options
    3. Under the systems tab, select laptop

    My results: Combined with the update of the A38 BIOS, it seems to work ok.

    Difficulty 3

    It is recommended to make your IDE controllers are in DMA not PIO mode.

    Here is a useful link on the Dell Forum, he speaks of the PIO to DMA:

    http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.ID=dim_cdrom&message.ID=144385&query.ID=285841#M144385

    PIO DMA another link:

    http://winhlp.com/node/10

    My results: System has already been set to Ultra DMA Mode 2, so this fix did not work for me.

    Level 4:

    During choppy playback, I fiddled with the settings of DVD players and was able to play the DVD without problem.

    For Intervideo WinDVD:

    1. Right click on the area of the screen, select Setup
    2. On the Video tab, uncheck the "Use hardware decode acceleration" and uncheck the box "use acceleration hardware color."

    I don't remember the exact settings uncheck Windows Media Player 10. But if you want to try this solution with this drive, I can point you in the right direction.

    1. Go to tools > Options
    2. Then click on the performance tab
    3. Under video acceleration, tap Advanced Options

    There are options for the video acceleration and DVD video below. "Use Video Mixing Renderer", might be what I unchecked, you'll have to fiddle around for yourself.

    My results: Best solution for me, never had a problem since. I use Intervideo WinDVD. The colours become slightly darker; I think they look better. (Note: I installed the new BIOS before that)

  • Satellite A200 - HD DVD ROM is not working

    Hello

    Can someone give me advice what to do with my HD DVD ROM It's playback discs after departure upward but then if I don't play anything for a while (30 minutes or 1 hour) and then try to play HD DVD ROM stopped reading anything and the laptop became frozen. Sometimes it even stops with the error message.

    If I restart my computer then HD DVD ROM still works but for a short time.

    What should I do?

    Kind regards
    Olga

    You have cd/dvd utilities in the system tray? Maybe they are causing a problem.

    Try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry.
    When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.

    (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
    2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart.

    If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

    This utility can remove the filters for you:

    Hi, johnnykola

    I did some research on the Lenovo Web site and found these two documents: X 300 and X 301 spare parts for the system. According to these documents, the optical drive for both systems is exactly the same. So, in theory, you should be able to put one inside the other. However, I've never tried, nor have I heard of someone else doing one, so just know that it may not work for reasons unknown.

    It will be useful,
