• Device Manager doesn't detect external cd drive

  My external LG DVD writer Super Multi play more on my Acer Aspire One. under Windows XP. He plays on a different computer, so I know it works very well. I used a flash drive on all the USB ports on the Acer so I know they work. I tried the disk drive on all USB ports, but did not work. Fix tried regedit "upper and lower filters" found on the internet - did not help. I tried Windows Quick Fix - did not help. He noted that some corrections have been made, but there will always be problems. It does not say what - the next button just to leave me with a window asking what they could do to help. (Stupid question). I reset to a previous set value - did not help. The LG say that they provide no drivers that all their products run on native Windows drivers. Acer technology referred me to people from Microsoft Windows. The LG player correctly purrs when it is plugged into the USB port and the glow of green light. I ensured that the player was clean (/ alcohol swab). The disc is clean. Once again, I have played the disc on the drive but attached to another computer and everything worked fine.  I think that it is a driver problem. I read the forum messages that say when Windows sends updates that they often ruin the drivers and some people report that they continue to re - download drivers for their external players. Anyone know what to do about this situation? Thank you. -J.

  Want to add that he won't play disk program or cd music disk.

• Post installation of the Vista SP2, it does not detect my DVD drive.

  Recently in the month of April 10, I had my laptop (Compaq Presario V6608AU) repaired because it doesn't detect DVD drive. The techincian had reinstalled vista on it and it was my regular vista. As my laptop has automatic updates enabled it installed Vista SP1 and SP2 later. After installation of SP2, my DVD player no longer works. The light initially whn system starts but windows gets loaded, it didn't post. Could some help me to get this resolved. Restore option I tried, but I restore options after installation of SP2. I have my handy DVD recovery but I'm handicapped because of this problem of DVD player and impossible to restore...

  Support Microsoft still offers a FREE support for Vista SP2 issues at: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?prid=13014&gprid=582034&st=1&wfxredirect=1.  They will give you the expert help you need with this problem with SP2.  They can connect remotely to your computer to help diagnose the problem - something that we cannot do.  Enjoy the offer while it still exists.  I'm sure they can help you.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• The device icon and text missing in the imaging devices Manager

  The device icon and text missing in the imaging devices Manager

  I'm running MS Vista Ultimate.

  The imaging device icon and the wording are missing in Device Manager are missing. A device is listed in the box as installed missing icon.

  The other devices in Device Manager normally appear and I can compare what is supposed to be there for another computer running the same version of windows.

  However, the device will not work and will not reinstall.

  When you try to reinstall the device an error indicates that Setup does not work and to contact the manufacturer of the device.

  Yet once, however, this happens when I try to install any imaging device.

  I'm unable to locate information about the imaging devices in the registry.

  I think that some registry entries are missing.

  It is not the missing peripheral individual. This is the section in Device Manager.

  The image error is logged:

  "Windows didn't load setup." Contact your hardware vendor. »

  This happens with any device inaging of anyone.

• Configure button disabled on the playback device, manage audio devices. How can I reactivate the button Configure?

  Hi, following an automatic update of Windows Vista 64-bit I have no sound. Thank you for that.   I had a similar problem before, the sound quality has been reduced to a rate lower than 16 bit 44.1 k.  I've changed this before clicking on the button configure on the playback device, manage audio devices.  But now, this button is disabled and I can't check the set up or make changes.  I am logged in as an administrator user, how to re - activate the button set up?

  Thank you

• Installation of construction LabVIEW application disables the Windows Device Manager? Help on how to diagnose the problem?

  Please can anyone shed light on this, or suggest where to look?

  I built an application using the Application Builder of LV2014 (32 bit).

  On a Win7 X 64 PC at work, it installs and runs ok.

  On Win7 X 64 PC at the customer, it installs ok, but then after Windows restarts on demand 'device manager' no longer works and there are some unchangeable registry entries associated with nipalu. The client runs Symantec security software. A client COMPUTER technician is suggesting that LabVIEW is interacting with device drivers and this is the origin of the problem, but we do not know how to go further. It is not really acceptable to deploy computers where the Windows Device Manager no longer works. Surprisingly, the application itself works always - it's just Windows which messed up.

  Thank you

  Thanks for the suggestions. The company IT guy has not been able to talk to a person in NI UK support (no one was available), but he managed to keep it down to a problem with Dell Data Protection encryption Enterprise Edition. Delete first, then install the LabVIEW application, then reinsert DDPE gave a system where everything worked.

  We have built apps that used progressively more labview drivers (vision, labview base; digital i/o)

• How to set the parameters of "Configuration ThinPro" via the HP Device Manager

  Hello

  Maybe I'm blind, but how can I set the settings in "Setup ThinPro', accessible from

  ThinPro Control Center-->

  Control Panel-->

  Setup-->

  Configuration ThinPro

  through the HP Device Manager? These parameters allows to use a very strict kiosk mode, which we want to deploy. So far I found just to solve this problem through a complete picture, but this isn't a solution for me.

  I hope that I have forget something or you have another clue.

  Concerning

  Looks like there is no direct way via the HP Device Manager. Now, I manually configure a thin Client and save the registry.xml that I can ride with other devices.

  BUT do not forget that the FCS has been abandoned by Apple years ago, and the latest Apple operating systems are built without any concern as to the functionality of the FCS.

  Some of the apps in FCS are dead in the water, and others work with features limited or erratic.

  Anecdotal reports of problems running FCS on model are all over the map. Some do work, some don't.

  In addition, FCS2 has problems with the included Installer, requiring Rosetta to run (which is no longer included in the operating system), so it will not install without workaround.

  By Michael Petersen - kongkuba difficulty no work reader of CD in Vista and windows 7

  When you upgrade a computer to Windows Vista or Windows 7 Beta, or install Windows Vista Service Pack, and after a reboot, the computer CD/DVD drive no longer works as expected, or it says driver is not digitally signed, you need to remove the affected filter drivers.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open the registry change (Regedit.exe).
  2. Locate and then click the registry key under:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

     Warning
     To make sure that you are in the appropriate registry key slot, make sure that the default data value is the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and the class data value is CDROM.

     

  3. In the pane, click UpperFilters, and then click Remove.
  4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion of the UpperFilters registry entry.
  5. Do the same with the LowerFilters
  6. Exit the registry editor and restart the computer.

  Only he, the CD/DVD should now work as expected.

• Device Manager does not detect the gpu performance

  Hello everyone, I've had my laptop for a couple of years now. He is currently the normal edition of HP Envy 17 t - 2100. A time back well before this problem I had to re - install windows 7 and of course while I downloaded all the drivers. I was still not able to download the switchable graphics driver / program. I don't know if this is related to the issue or not.

  The MAIN question, I though, is that my laptop no longer recognizes the high performance GPU (AMD Radeon 6850 M). I tried to install the drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling again. But no luck. If someone can point me in the right direction or has any idea what I can do, I would be very gratefull!

  Hi JoshSa,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your son on your t-2100 HP Envy 17 laptop and graphics problems. Here is a link to your driver and software for graphic design. Download presents first and then uninstall what you have within you the graphics drivers in Device Manager.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you.
