• T61 DVD drive cannot read some discs

  I try to install H & R Block tax software, but the disk is not readable.  I ordered a replacement from the seller (Amazon) drive and still have the problem.  On the other hand, some discs work, for example, the H & R Block software 2 years ago.

  Tips on troubleshooting DVD player or replacement?

  These drives are 'plug and play', you don't even need a screwdriver. Unlock (the latch is in the drive, well visible, on the side RIGHT of your ThinkPad) pull chase him, insert the replacement, push the latch back in. Fact.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

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

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus

  Have had problems since 31/12/09.  Tech replaced Dell hard drive 14/01/10 because all software solutions did not resolve various problems, including the screen black and white letters indicating the mode without failure, or count down the regular opening.  System Restore has used several times, all software removed and replaced.  New Quickbooks reinstalled two times 10, it usually starts up quickly.  I was told not to turn it off, just let it run.  It automatically goes into sleep mode, it still does not start correctly.  Last message is that Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown;  Windows can check online for a solution to the problem.  Problem event name: bluescreen

• Error when you try to use VoIPBuster to place VoIP calls: Client for VoIP calls has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem.

  Client to make VoIP calls

  I recently started having problems, make VoIP calls from my computer.  I use VoIP Busters (and using it for a few years without any problems).  Evertime I try to call the destination phone rings a couple of times and then stop.  The next thing that happens is an error message that says: "Client for VoIP calls has stopped working.  Windows is checking for a solution to the problem.  It is followed by another screen that says: "a problem caused blocking the program working properly."  Windows will close the program and inform you is a solution available. "  Nothing happens.  How to overcome this problem.

  I finally had to resort to the re-installation of Windows.  This solves the problem.  But don't forget to back up your computer and email address / addresses before you do.

• Whenever I open my Kodak easy software, that he told me that he stopped working and no solution to the problem.

  * Original title: software problems

  Whenever I open my Kodak easy software, that he told me that he stopped working and no solution to the problem. How can I fix this?

  To allow a person to better help you, can you provide more information please.

  for example:

  • What is the full name of the 'software kodak easy' AND its version number?
  • Is it intended to be run on this version of Windows 7, or if it was originally intended for an earlier version of windows?
  • What is the exact error message when it does not work?
  • He has already worked on this computer? If so, when did it stop working?

  If it is your program - http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36670/selected/true - it seems that it is no longer available for Windows.

  If you have a 64 bit OS, it can help - http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30535/~/easyshare-software-on-64-bit-computer-running-a-windows-7-or-windows-vista/selected/true

  If it ran on an earlier version of Windows, but will not work on Windows 7, try running mode of compatibility - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html - which may allow some older programs to run on a later version of the operating system.

  It was to be expected if you have made a backup from external software instead of using the recommendations of backup / restore of the Organizer:

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/KB/backup-restore-move-catalog-Photoshop.html

  If you "import" the backup made by other software, you can only retrieve the metadata that you have voluntarily registered in the metadata section of your files.

  The albums are NOT written in the files. They are lists of files stored in the catalog, like playlists for audio.

  Because it is saved in the catalog, you have to run the process described above to retrieve the catalog or (if you install on the same computer) to 'convert' catalog.
