• CD/DVD drive has stopped working and now not recognized in 'My Computer'

  I have a HP Pavilion computer to office model a6109n, product number GG038AA, S/N CNH7250K0M. I've been running Windows 7 for 2 years. My CD player recently stopped working. I can't attribute this failure to any specific event that would have led to it.  When a CD is inserted, the green light comes on for about 6 seconds then turns off. The CD player is not long represented on the 'My Computer' to readers list. The CD drive appears in Device Manager. I tried to roload the driver for CD drive, Windows gave a message stating that the best driver is already installed. I have no error message and ran three programs different viruses with no problems. I've also updated Windows available current configuration that has not solved the problem. Thinking it was a hardware problem, I checked the CD drive cable connections and that did not help.  I replaced the CD drive with a new drive for HP and had the same symptoms. I returned the new CD player and he traded for an external CD drive and had the same symptoms in all USB ports. I tried every USB port with a flash player and the flash player saved on my computer in all USB ports. If my CD drive is being recognized by the Device Manager but not in my computer. It's okay if it's an internal or external drive. Everything else on the computer works fine. More troubleshooting ideas?  Thank you.

• The title bar has stopped working and now I can't close the page with the cross or minimize or maximize, cannot close the pages

  Toolbar is not functional cannot use the cross at the top to close and cannot minimize or maximize the pages.

  What program is this (name and version)?

  Are you sure that the title bar is not hidden because the screen is in full screen mode?  Make sure it is in normal mode (usually hit the ESC key will do that).  When you say that you "cannot minimize or maximize or close pages" is because you don't see these icons or press them, and they do not work?  You see the title bar?  Is it the same with EACH program or all instances of this particular program, or only with this page?

  If it's an open program, you can still use the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and do a right click on the prgram open and then click Close.  If it isn't there, it can also be hidden. Move your mouse to the bottom of the screen and see if the toolbar appears.  If so right click on it and select properties and uncheck Hide able toolbar and click OK to close - that way it will always show (except when it is in full screen mode).

  You can also press CTRL-ALT = DEL to bring up the Manager tasks, go to Applications and select the program that you want to close, and then click end task.

  If you have access to the Menu bar, you can usually go into file, and then click close tab or simply close.

  If you can help me with answers to my questions (assuming that what I said has not solved the problem), then I will answer you with some suggestions to solve the problem (whatever it is)-, but there are too many possibilities without knowing more about the problem.

  Thanks and good luck!

  Hi Anna1298,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1:

  Step 1: Start in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

   

  Step 2: If the problem does not occur in safe mode, you can put your system to boot (in normal mode) to solve the problem.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

   

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 provided in the above article.

  Method 2: Try the SFC (System File Checker) scan on the computer.

   

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

   

  Method 3: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

  Let us know if that helps.

  Hey

  I have a laptop A105-S4254, which is less than a year.

  Hello

  For me, it looks like a hardware problem. Maybe it s the keyboard or keyboard controller itself.
  But first, you must be sure that this failure was not due to a software problem.
  Therefore, it would be desirable to update the system and install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  If the keyboard problem appears again, I'd recommend contacting the ASP in your country to control the laptop.

  It seems that the guarantee could be valid for all replacements must be done for free.

• Touchpad and F9 keys stopped working

  The touchpad has stopped working and the F9 key does work more for the touchpad.  How can I fix it?  It's a Toshiba Satellite laptop.  Other F keys still work.  There used to be a drop-down list on the desktop for the F keys, but it doesn't work either.  In the properties of the touchpad driver, disable is grayed out.

  Hello

  Toshiba has also map of keys which allow easy adjustment of the TouchPad. See support for Toshiba
  and Forums.

  Toshiba support - click Communcate for links to the Forums and Contact Toshiba.
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  Toshiba downloads - access your model.
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=download

  Toshiba forums - good source of info from others who have the same system or similar
  http://laptopforums.Toshiba.com/

  Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there probably
  are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

  Also check the control - Mouse - touchpad settings panel.

  You can also try this:

  You can download but not install the drivers before the the below if you wish.

  Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
  The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
  (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

  Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
  REBOOT - it will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and USB stack. This does not prevent the
  Touchpad work.

  Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
  device if present.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

  Then go to the website of the manufacturer of system (Toshiba downloads - access your model - listed above)
  and get the latest touchpad drivers.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

  I hope this helps.
