• DVD/CD driver does not properly, the discs are not read.

  I tried different discs and none are read which is very annoying, because I can not install my new printer! When I checked the driver, the following message is displayed:

  Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

  Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

  I click for solutions and he's looking for a few seconds and then nothing happens. I tried it 3 days ago and still today, but it still does not work, can I do?

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Hello

  19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  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.

  Normally the above will solve this problem otherwise working your way down through them, even if you did
  them before.

• CD/DVD drive is not detected, the disc is missing or disconnected

  Well I have not tried to play anything or anything either burning on my laptop in a while and all of a sudden is not working more I followed suggestions on the microsoft site, but when I went into Device Manager to check on my drive anywhere it lists same CD-ROM/dvd-rom I'm so confused, I don't know what I tried to use microsoft not fixed and it's just as stuck as I am all he tells me it is than its disconnected or missing and cannot be found.

  Oh and while I'm asking questions my sound stopped working a few months back the small volume in the lower right corner icon has an 'x' next to him now and he says: no audio output device is installed, I tried following the suggestions online for this with no luck either. I hope that its not anything internal since I just had the motherboard replaced by a few months before this happened

  Thank you very much I hope you can help!

• Windows 7 installation problem - I can not load the disc of windows 7 for

  I can't get windows disk to load 7. I am trying to run the full version on top of XP.
  When I open my computer, always open the D drive then its empty. Any ideas?

  ETA, I try to install the 32 bit one

  I have an answer!

  At least, it worked for me tonight, and I pray it works out for others in this situation.

  I got exactly the same problem as you, except that I wanted to replace Vista with a clean install of Windows 7 on a computer of the 32-bit system IE.  But, like you, it just has not been grateful that there is a disc in there after that many 'click' would say tell me to insert a disc or that there was a disk failure.  I have since bought nine from a retailer, and was not very impressed and nor am I impressed by the response from Microsoft about this problem and must send them a letter expressing my displeasure.  Issues such as this must be properly studied and perhaps added to the 'specifications' of the software to warn buyers to potential problems of certain brands or models of PC.  In my opinion be told to get off the USB drive with a process that most of the audience would find almost impossible to understand and follow and with the many added costs of having to buy a portable hard drive, large enough DVD or USB drive is unacceptable, as far as Windows 7 is not an item to purchase low price as it is.

  In any case, this is what worked for me.

  I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to lose more than £100 and so I have to use a laptop hard drive in order to make the suggested drive of USB and copy the disc on the laptop hard drive.

  I went into 'my computer', inserted the disc and he started his stupid clicking on and was not recognized, but in the list readers on the left side, I dragged all drive "E" (which is my DVD player and where the disc of Windows 7 was) on the USB hard drive.  This does not seem to have an effect, so I click with the right button on the E drive and press "copy" and "Paste" on the USB hard drive.  Now, I'm not sure if there is just a delay between the first process or if it was this process that has worked (as a result, please try both), but suddenly it seemed to 'wake up' the disc and it was recognized instantly and "run setup.exe" appeared in a pop-up and I could finally install Windows 7!  (Please Note - Although the disc began to copy it to the USB, I could have cancelled at any time so didn't need actually portable hard drive for this process - it just seems to 'wake up' when I tried to copy it somewhere else).

  I really hope it works for all those stuck with this problem and would like to hear if it has.

  Another point to note is that during installation, the computer will restart several times, and each time restarted mine, it got stuck on the screen black 'boot from CD' (due to the computer not recognize drive).  It was, fortunately, easy to solved for me to eject the disc and then close it again (leaving the disc, of course).  The rest of the installation was fine.

  Please, please post on here if the works above for one of you who have problems.  I sincerely hope that it is.

• Windows XP Professional Disc is bad. How to make a copy?

  While Re-Installing Windows XP I have incountered an error indicating that the installation disc is bad and cannot be read. The drive worked for the first three steps up to the installation preparation. During the stage of installing Windows with 39 Minutes, I left the Error encounterd. I tried several times to clean disk as indicated by the error and tried several times to re try. Nothing works. Is there a way to get a new copy of XP Professional that uses my registration code?

  I don't know if you can still do it NOW, but before XP being interrupted you could call Microsoft and order a replacement. In my opinion, what they charged $30 including shipping. I know at least one person who had to go this route for an OEM copy.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Alternatively, you can ask around you, your friends and acquaintances for their copy of XP and see if all will accept your product key. Once you find one that will take your key, you should be good.  If they are concerned about piracy, report you request only a copy of the CD and tell them specifically not product key.

  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.

• I use a dvd - r disc, but the movie maker says is not a recordable disc

  I use a dvd - r disc, but the movie maker says is not a recordable disc. also, when I try to publish the dvd is not the choice, her computer, a recordable cd or camer digital video...

  If you're running Vista Home Premium or Ultimate...
  the following article is perhaps worth the drive... If not...
  You'll need to publish (your Movie Maker save project)
  in the. WMV video format and the use of third-party software
  to burn your DVD.

  "Import files into Windows Movie Maker" "publish and burn a movie to a DVD.
  http://m-Lov.blogspot.com/2007/11/you-can-use-Windows-Movie-Maker-to.html
  Scroll down to: "2 to publish and burn a movie to a DVD")

  If you need DVD Authoring software... What follows
  freeware software can be worth a try:

  (FWIW) It's always a good idea to create a system
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  DVD Flick
  http://www.dvdflick.NET/Download.php
  (the download is: "dvdflick_setup_1.3.0.7.exe")

  Save the file to your desktop or a folder on your
  hard drive and install from there.

  Be sure to read the Guide:

  http://www.Digital-Digest.com/articles/AVI_to_DVD_using_DVD_Flick_page1.html

  To create a video DVD base that should play in a free
  permanent drive DVD... try the following...

  First... read the DVD Flick Guide to familiarize
  with the program.

  Open DVD Flick and insert a blank DVD in your drive.

  If the window of Autorun from your computer... just close it.

  Click the project settings button and check... Video /.
  Target format... residents United States... Choose... NTSC /.
  Accept.

  The title button left click Add and navigate to your
  Video clips and select the ones you want on the DVD.

  You can have by selecting one and then use
  the up and down buttons.

  Left click on the button create DVD / OK / Yes / Yes.

  Please wait while the DVD is created.

  When the text "Completed successfully" is displayed you
  DVD Flick can close. Now you can eject your DVD
  and play in your DVD player.

  At some point you might want to buy more
  Advanced Cyberlink, Nero, Roxio, software
  Ulead, etc... but at least it is a start.

  Good luck.

• Audio files do not properly burn on a CD

  Audio burning CD wrong!

  I have a windows vista laptop. Suddenly my music does not properly burn on a blank comm. It has always worked before.  Now when I try to play a disc there only a track at random on it.  Nothing else is burning to disc.  What can I do? Also, if I try to read the disc in my cd player it's just noise terrible static/interference!

  Hi magalihamel,

  1. what applications do you use to burn CDs?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer, after which the issue started?

  I suggest you burn CDs with Windows Media Player. If you encounter the same problem with Windows Media Player, then I suggest you to try to reduce the burn speed and check if it helps:

  Change settings for burning a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player

  In addition, have a look at the link to the following article:

  Burn a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player: frequently asked questions

  I hope this helps.
