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
ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
contacts data with a pencil eraser.

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.

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the

  • 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!

    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:

    Note:
    after a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2:

    If the problem persists in safe mode, create a new user account and log on to it
    see How to create and configure the user accounts in Windows XP .
    b. connect on the new user account and check if the problem persists.

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!

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.

    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.

    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.
