• error 39 for optiarc dvd rw ad - 7503b ata device windows Vista

  My optiarc DVD RW AD - 7530B IS NOT WORKING in WINDOWS VISTA

  Hello

  Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

  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.
  
  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

  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  --------------------------------------------------------------

  Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
  are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
  ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Help with Windows XP problem (Lenovo Ideapad S12)

  Hello

  I bought a new S12 a bit backward, but recently, I had a problem with it. Earlier today, I was online and I must of clicked on a link that has started with Java for a reason any. Almost instantly my antivirus picked up a threat, she has actually won 51 threats, I did a scan and it found no aNY\ threat. I restarted the computer and that has been the problems began.

  Windows starts fine, but sometimes does not the taskbar. Startup applications but continue to operate. For example I start 'My Computer' but then I can't go to my "My Documents".  And after that it seems to freeze but the mouse cursor can move but nothing really works and I have to force the computer off. Also sometimes when I run Google Chrome a message appears.

  WINDOWS-applicaTION ERROR
  The ApplicATION has no iniaLIZE PROPERLY (0XC0000022). Click ok TO close the APPLICaTION

  So im thinking the virus messed up the config so I read that perhaps I need to restore the partition. If you could help me with this.

  This is my first post something so if you could help me out... in other words im a beginner.

  -Thank you

  Hello and welcome...  ITF you are using a program of security as one of them...  Security for freedom and keep updating them... are you on the save side, but its good to save your work (data, music, photos...) at any time on an additional media as FlashThumbDrive USB or an opticaldrive...

  Do not trust a program of security... from time to time, use an external security program to search for viruses or so now...

  Keep your system clear, delete temporary data with a feather duster like cleanprog or ccleaner...

  Disable unnessessary progs ... could accelerate in some cases and prevents freeze/hang up/hick upward

  & If viruses or other malfunctions, its more comfortable to go to a zero & recover your system...

  and like many other programs google chrome is not bugs, what might happen...

• Need driver for Optiarc DVD RW AD 7580 s drive for Windows Vista 64-bit

  I just bought a new Lenovo Ideapad Y550's.

  Everything works well except the drive Optiarc DVD RW AD 7580 s. I checked the configuration of the pilot and found that a file system 32 called cdrom.sys driver has been installed.

  What is the correct driver for a 64-bit Vista system? In a few weeks, I'll move from Vista to Windows 7. Will it then a new driver?

  Where will I get the right driver for my 64 bit Vista system?

  Help, please.

  Well, I took it to the center of service, and in about five minutes, they put it right.

  Asked about this, they said that it was a problem with the 'settings '. They did not specify.

  Now, everything's fine.

• Software peripheral drive not properly installed - Code 39 - Optiarc DVD +-RW AD 7580 A ATA Device

  Need help!
  Recently bought a laptop Dell Inspiron 1525 using the Vista operating system.
  The DVD + RW device worked but recently failed.
  Device Manager found the driver who is Optiarc DVD +-RW AD 7580 A ATA Device
  Device Manager is a (-) marker that tells me that the driver does not work.
  I tried to update the driver but the message received is "already installed the latest driver.
  I wanted to uninstall driver and rebooted the system.
  On reboot, the system attempted to reinstall the driver for my CD ROM
  I then received message 'disk device software was not successfully installed ".
  Also received message "Windows cannot load the device of this material. Code 39 "
  At the present time, my CD-ROM device does not work.
  I would appreciate anyone who has a solution to this problem.
  Thank you in advance.

  Have you recently installed a new burner software? Several of installs it burner can cause error 39. You can rightclick this link to another thread of responses on the deletion entries "Upper filters" and 'down '. You can remove those creating the CMD file I'll paste it in below, created by William Keener.

  1. Copy carefully and then paste the following three commands in Notepad:

  Reg export HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}-%userprofile%\desktop\CDFiltersBackup.reg
  reg delete HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}------UpperFilters f v
  reg delete HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}------LowerFilters f v

  1. Save the file to your desktop as DeleteCDFilters.cmd.
  2. Right click on the DeleteCDFilters.cmd file to your desktop, and then click run as administrator.

  Note After running this script, all custom CD/DVD filter drivers installed programs maybe isn't able to use your CD/DVD until your reinstall these programs. If the script command solves the problem, you can restore your custom filter of CD/DVD drivers by double-clicking on the CDFiltersBackup.reg that the command script exports to your desktop.

• Optiarc dvd rw ad - 7561 has ata device

  My optiarc dvd drive does not work with dvd + R DL. Is this normal?

  Hello

  It should work with both + and - R discs.

  It's the version of HP of its description:

  Original HP AD - 7561a Support LightScribe technology 8 X DVD +/-R/RW/RAM DL writer

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

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burn
  and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. Maybe a CD/DVD cleaner
  Help.

  CD have a tolerance + - and you can write on the edge outside their tolerance. They
  may be released but it is usually more economical to replace the disk.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

• Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7560A ATA DEVICE cannot read the PC DVD - ROM.

  I have sony vaio VGN-NR38S. It has a Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7560A ATA DEVICE.

  A few days ago I bought a DVD of driving test. I can't use this DVD in my laptop.

  I tried this DVD in other laptops and it works perfectly, but when I insert in my laptop, it says "Please insert the disk".»
  could someone help please.
  Thank you.

  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.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  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.

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

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE
