Software device driver has not been installed successfully. __This device cannot start (Code 10).

I am running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion a1600n and sometimes in the last month the CD/DVD drive stopped recognizing DVDs and CDs. It is opening and closing, and turn the disc when I put them in the drive, simply do not recognize anything beyond that.

The State of the device reads that this device cannot start (code 10).

From what I could find online code 10 was a general hardware error. I tried switching to another Cd/DVD drive and even changed the cable to the inside to see if it was the error, it was not. When I plugged the DVD/CD drive second he tried to locate the drivers online and and informed me it software device driver was not correctly installed. I tried to find some kind of solution online, nothing helps. If there are some ad where this has been previously resolved for someone else and you could point me in the right direction, or if you have a solution to this problem, please help.

Hi Dnah,

See the following about the Code 10 error article:

  • software device driver has not been installed successfully. Digital Still Camera Canon S3IS

    Hello

    Until recently, I was able to connect my canon S3IS to my PC and the device would be recognized and transfer my photos.

    End of week it last stopped. Vista sees the connection, try to install the drivers and fails to this statement: software device driver has not been installed successfully. Click here for more details. The status of details consult the manufacturer of your device to help get this device installed. Digital camera failed.

    I downloaded all corresponding updates of the Canon for Vista 32 bits website. I tried to plug in the camera to other USB ports. When I plug in the camera to the laptop of my wife (Vista 32) the camera picture is recognized and photos are available. I also took the SD card and used a card through a USB Reader and it recognizes the card reader, it wants to format the SD card, which means that he would remove the photos?

    I have all the current updates Microsoft Vista.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

  • Satellite L510 - device driver has not been installed successfully

    After upgraded my Satellite L510 from Vista to Windows 7 by the following toshiba upgrade tool, has detected the error "device driver software was not properly installed" at start of Windows 7. Details of the driver: Realtek RTL8192E Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC

    Now I loss my wireless connection. No idea how to fix / download the right driver?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think you just reinstall the driver for the laptop. You can download the driver on the Toshiba page or alternative of the Toshiba WLAN European portal: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan

    The Realtek 8192 WLAN Card driver is compatible Windows 7, so it should work normally. Just launch the setup.exe file and follow the instructions on the screen. After that restart your wireless card should work again.

  • my software device driver has not been installed successfully. How can I get my computer to thank that has my printer?

    I am trying to add a printer. I went to the control panel. Click devices and printers. Click Add a printer. Located in my HP photosmart c4200 series and then he asks me a port. choose which port? I chose the lpt1 printer port and it went through windows update, but then a report of said error operation could not be completed (error 0x00003eb... what this means and what should I do?)

    Hi Charles,

    Unplug the printer. It uses a USB cable and therefore using LPT1 for parallel printers older is not possible.

    Download the latest software from the HP Web site (or use your installation CD) and run it.

    Do not connect the printer until told to do so by the installation routine.

    If you find this helpful please mark it as such.

  • I have a problem connecting my nokia 5800 to vista. Software device driver has not been installed successfully? Help!

    I reinstalled Ovi store and Nokia Ovi Player more than once.  Whenever I connect the phone to my computer, it came with the message THAT PSG has failed. I think that this is the route of the problem. Ovi store will recognize my phone and I can see the phone next to other readers, I still can't transfer music to my phone.

    Any help much appreciated

    Nokia forums / support would be the place to ask. No doubt you have uninstalled all Nokia software / drivers, restarted then reinstalled the latest version of PC Suite / Suite Ovi from Nokia

    It all works well on two of my PC (win7 64 bit and Vista 32-bit)

  • All USB Ports stopped working, the software device driver has not been installed successfully, error code 52

    Hi I do not know what the problem with my USB ports I can not connect to any device, do not know when he started since week last I have no problem with that, I thank you for the helpful answers!

    Can remember you if the beginning of the problem coincided in the installation of Nero?

    Also, have you considered, or it would be convenient to use the system restore using a restore point before the beginning of the question.

    Another possibility is to reinstall or 'repair' Nero over himself.

  • Qosmio G40-10 s - driver software for device has not been installed successfully

    I get a message...
    Software device driver has not been installed successfully.
    Memory PCI controller... failed

    Is this a problem with my laptop or software that has been loaded. Now on Windows 7 32 bit Vista

    Hi spudcam,

    This means that for the memory controller PCI is no driver installed?

    Well, it is difficult to say which driver you need exactly and Windows 7's official is not compatible with the Qosmio G40.

    AFAIK memory PCI controller is Intel Turbo Memory module, so you would need Robson package driver of the official website of Toshiba.
    Now, I looked on the page of Toshiba and guess what, it s is available for G40 and Windows 7. :)

    Check this box!
