Vista not read or recognize no matter what disc I insert - maybe he thinks I'm trying to burn a CD, even if I'm not.
Vista recognizes the type of disc inserted because the icon change CD, CDR or DVD. But it will not read the disc. When I click on the drive in Explorer, it ejects the disc & says "insert a disc. When I reinsert (any drive) it ejects the disc again & says "insert a disc.
Hello
Restart and do not open all programs except as necessary here and try this checklist.
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

Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.
Hope these helps.

CD/DVD drive does not recognize the DVD media disc.
Greetings,
Had problems with my CD/DVD drive not being able to recognize that a DVDmovie disc is in the drive.
I tried to turn on/off, reinstalled the driver, update the driver, check if AutoPlay is enabled (currently set to invite me) and have used the Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting system which could not solve the problem.
I am able to burn data and audio files on CD/DVD very well, it will read the same types without problems. But whenever a DVDmovie disc is, it does not recognize, there is a disc in the drive, or Autoplay hit.
Also clean the laser lens with isopropyl alcohol.
Thoughts?
Honestly, I had not checked immediately after I cleaned the lens, but it works now. I am convinced that cleaning the lens resolved.
I had posted this, and then read somewhere else to clean the lens, has made, edited my post saying I had it done and then tried a DVD and it worked.

IPhone driver will not install in VISTA - little matter what I do!
I spent 10 hours today trying to get my ipod touch recognized on my laptop once again online, because it does not appear in windows or itunes. I followed all the suggestions of the apple on the drivers page and the pages of microsoft, including reinstallation of itunes, to try dozens of times to reinstall the driver. Can I said that legacy is an ov534 of camer apollo Omnivision, when it's really an ipod touch. No matter what I do, the driver fails.
All advice gratefully appreciate it, other than to try to reinstall the driver.
I saw a thread somewhere on a file is missing, but I don't have a clue as how to do the copy of one part of Vista to another file that they were referring to, as I'm not really tech savvy.
Thank you.
Hello MassMom,
I don't know if you have tried the steps listed in the article. I see that you can install file USB if the phone is detected as a camera.

Hello

You can view these methods:
Method 1:
I recommend you perform the clean boot and check.
Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

When I try to install a software, play a CD or DVD, nothing happens. I hear a few clicks and a humming noise, but then nothing. I have the default to auto-play.

I started this morning, opens Firefox as usual. The normal task bar has been replaced by a taskbar of Bing. I couldn't get rid of him. So, I tried to reset Firefox. The taskbar of Bing was not deleted. I uninstalled firefox and downloaded the latest version and installed. I also uninstalled the taskbar of Bing as found in my list of programs. I opened Firefox and no matter what I select on the menu or on a website a message appears saying that the site is not reliable. It is as far as I can get in Firefox! The message arrives even for internal actions within Firefox. How can I fix it. It's very frustrating!
