Hello

You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).
Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives
http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

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

Try this troubleshooting:

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
ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
contacts data with a pencil eraser. Maybe check system manufacturer and manufacturer of device to update
firmware.

Hope these helps.

  • Unable to show the Premiere Elements on my second monitor (attached to my laptop)

    I just looked at what you call for your 12 items first on Windows 7 Professional.

    In my case, I used first elements 12 computer portable 64-bit Windows 8.1.

    Independent of first 12 elements, the control panel screen offered 4 choices

    1 duplicate these screens

    2. extend these screens

    3. show the office only on 1

    4 show the desktop only on 2

    There is no problem with "duplicate these screens" except Monitor 2 had full-screen contrast monitor 1. At this point, not adjustable. It was the case that Premiere Elements was involved or not involved. And, I do not see this choice as useful for the feature limited the first elements 12 function Menu/Dual Monitor window. You end up with each monitor showing the editing with no. Panel where to go.

    Now if you select extend these displays, this probably is more designed for the function of first elements dual monitor. You get two monitors, each mode display full screen. However, the 2A monitor only the taskbar at the bottom of the screen of the monitor. For more information about the function of dual monitor of Premiere Elements, please refer to the

  • Satellite A100-1AI watch CD player but Device Manager shows the DVD player

    I own a Satellite A100-1AI and went from Vista to Windows XP?

    My DVD player has been discovered as a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N but is only showing as a CD drive in my computer screen.

    Also Device Manager shows Mass Storage Controller and controller SM Bus as an unknown device (other).

    Since the switch from Vista to XP I have not adjusted my BIOS settings

    How can I make my DVD see CD and erase those unknown devices

    Thanks in advance

    Spon

    Just a question;
    You can read and burn CDs?

    Regarding the unknown devices:
    These devices are only compatible Vista and so there is no drivers for the mass storage controller.

    Check this box:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB83023N0000R01.htm

    + After the installation of Windows XP, there might be a yellow exclamation by a "PCI memory controller" or * mass storage controller * in Device Manager. +

    _Solution: _
    + This unit is probably the module of Robson former Turbo Memory. +
    + This hardware will only supported by Windows Vista. +
    + That is why there is no Windows XP drivers. +

  • Unable to show the publications on iOS

    Hello.

    I have built a magazine demo which we intend to deploy a customer - but until we can show it to the customer we need to discuss internally.  I gave my Adobe account login information to a couple of my co-workers so that they can install the Adobe Content Viewer and review the magazine on their iPhone.  They had no problem with that and I saw the magazine running very well on their iPhones... It also works well on my Nexus 7.

    However when I give the same exact connection information to a colleague at our office in Alberta (I work in Toronto), even if she can get the viewer content installed on his iPhone and iPad, when it connects to my Adobe account she did not see the magazines.

    I tried to build the magazine v26 and v28 the Viewer, without change.  I also tried re-construction of the magazine from scratch, which did not help.

    Can anyone suggest what I might try next?

    Thank you.

    You also update Adobe Content Viewer? In the last version, the Browse button at the top right was abducted and combined with the action of scroll down bar. You can still see the title, author, description, and kicker when you use the scroll bar. That's how readers will see R25 folios. It has nothing to do with iOS.
