• A satellite - DVD Drive not seen by Windows Explorer

  The DVD on D deive is not seen by windows Explorer. Used to work, it has now disappeared. The dvd hardwars starts at the start, then stop.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  You see the DVD drive in Device Manager and you then yellow exclamation points?
  Maybe you should just remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. Select the drive in the Device Manager, right-click on it and choose uninstall. Then, restart the laptop.

  If it doesn't work try the workaround posted by Akuma to remove upper and lower filters.

  Good bye

• KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 installed, but not "seen" by Windows Update

  KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 installed, but not "seen" by Windows Update

  Today (Tuesday 22 may 2012), after seeing the yellow icon in the taskbar, I ran Windows Update and KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 successfully installed, I turned off the PC by clicking on the red icon Turn Off with a shield icon, expected for all 3 updates to install, 4-color and for the PC to stop itself. It took a while, but everything went well. No error message.

  After turning on the PC, I went back to Windows Update and was surprised to see Windows Update suggests to install... KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 which is the same three components I have installed successfully.

  I ran Microsoft Fix It that 1 issue (update of Windows components needs to be repaired (next line) repair of components Windows Update.) I clicked Next. Everything went well. I had a green check mark 'Fixed '.  I turned off the PC (without having to install 3 updates which I have already installed).

  I turned on the PC and went to Windows Update, asking me to install KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073. It's like Windows Update does not "see" that these 3 elements have already been installed.

  Note: I have the same problem on another PC. The two PC XP SP3 and are stand-alone PC. One is a desktop computer. The other laptop.

• DVD drive not seen by Windows 8

  I have a Dell Inspiron with Windows 7 537 originally. The installed and functional DVD drive is a TSST DVD +-RW TS-H653G ATA drive.

  I have recently installed WIndows 8 in dual boot. When I boot with Windows 8, the DVD drive is not seen. When I go to the Device Manager and I look at the properties of the DVD player, I have the following message appears in the device status area (here I give a translation of the message in french)

  This device is not actually connected to the computer (Code = 45).

  To correct this problem, reconnect the device to the computer.

  The fact is that the DVD still works fine when starting with Windows 7.

  Do I need a new driver or a new device or what else?

• After the update of Windows CD/DVD drive does not work

  After windows automatically updated on my windows system 8, my CD/DVD drive no longer recognized discs. It will rotate when you close the disc drive as if he tried to recognize and initialize the disc, but then it will do nothing. When you go in my computer it doesn't even say that there is a hard drive available.

  In device manager has a yellow triangle with a '!' in the middle on the DVD/CD drive. When I click on drive properties and check the updates on the disk, it indicates that the drivers are up to date. Drive is MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ8C0.
  Y at - it a fix for this problem? For some reason my system does not restore automatically save it before the update or the other so I can not on a point system. Help, please.

  Try to remove the GEARAspiWDM entry.

  To remove the GEARAspiWDM entry double-click UpperFilters and, under value data, delete GEARAspiWDM > OK

  Create a system restore point beforehand and restart the computer after.

  However, if you have an application that uses the GEARAspiWDM, like iTunes, just install the latest version of hardware drivers (4.020.5) and that no changes to the registry:

  Updated speed drivers should also correct the mistake.

• CD/DVD drivers are missing and my system is not able to detect the dvd drive.

  Hi, after installing some updates my dvd/cd drive is not detected by the system and the option is not in my computer menu, so I checked in the Device Manager. and my cd/dvd drivers are completely absent and not present in the Device Manager. I m using vista Home premium, help someone
  Thank you

  Hello

  1st reboot and watch again in Device Manager:

  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

• Can not detect a CD or DVD drive

  I got my dell dimension 3000, a few years ago. My roommate about it and started to download a lot of who knows what. Thus, he got a virus. I cleaned up and then one day my DVD player no longer works. My CD drive still worked at this point in time. So last year, I bought a new DVD player to install in it. I then open it and pull my old one. And do what you know. Now it cannot detect my CD player either. And my new DVD is just as useless. So I put in the old DVD player, thinking that my CD player would work once again out of luck. But now I get an error message everytime I turn on my computer, saying: he can't start the CD player, because it is not installed. I got tired to see this message, so I asked the Bios not to try to read the disc whenever it turns on. Is there someone who can show me in the right direction to get this working? I just used a second computer and make a network connection to a Cd drive to formal and reinstall windows Xp. My CD and DVD drives are still not being displayed. I couldn't drive resource of work either because I couldn't remember how to make this connection network player again. So I put the CD on my external hard drive and tried to use it this way, but it did not really work. Some of the things just turned into shortcuts.

  
  

• Satellite A100 does not recognize the new CD/DVD drive

  I bought a new CD/DVD drive for my A-100 of Toshiba Satellite age of four year old went crazy and wouldn't work.

  Unfortunately, I bought a DVD of Toshiba Portege A100 / reader Combo CD - RW that is not exactly what I had before the jump that it will still work.

  Unfortunately, I'm surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all: /...
  It seems to work, and the light blinks I think that it is not broken.

  I just plugged it because that's the way I was told to do.
  I need to download the drivers to operate?
  It will work on my laptop, or is it a "most recent" CD player that will not work with my laptop?

  I'd appreciate any help. THX

  The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.
  I think there bad master/slave/c-salt settings

  As you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.

  You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.

  Usually the ASP in your country could help you buy this disc of these guys here
  However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.

• Yoga Pro 2 - display not recognized in windows (hardware or driver problem?)

  Out of warranty by a month!

  Yoga Pro 2-256 gb, installed a new wireless card a month ago. Windows 8.1

  The touchscreen still work while the screen is black.

  System restarted after the mode 'sleep', in my opinion.

  The Lenovo logo is displayed, seems to load Windows, but when windows loads (I don't see it so it is a hypothesis of load) drafts of the screen and the black light is on.

  Can I connect an external monintor that connects after the return from sleep mode (odd). Who then off the backlight.

  When the external monitor, the internal screen is not yet recognized by windows.

  When I boot in safe mode, the internal display works fine with of course limited capabilities.

  I rebooted on the support site display drivers.

  Right now my internal monitor is not recognized by windows and is dark, and I can use an external monitor.

  Someone at - he of the clues as to what my happen? Hardware, driver etc?

  Can what information I provide?

  It is a pretty weird problem with contradictory observations.

  (1) screen working in Mode safe but not regular boot. (So not the hardware problem)

  (2) display on an external monitor in normal mode. (So, no drivers issue)

  Have you installed the wireless card yourself? You unplug the cable from the screen during the installation of the card?

  Could you re - open and check that all connections are good?

  The Wi - Fi card works well?

  I also recommend a complete reset of the laptop to eliminate the possibility that it is a corrupt driver. You can use the NOVO button to reset your laptop. Make sure you make a backup on an external drive for your personal files.
