When I put a cd into my computer nothing happens
When I put in a game to the computer nothing happens and when I search I can't find anywhere on the computer
Xam,
We need some info to really help. Please post back with the answers and the results of all actions suggested.
1. can you use the CD drive for other items; Music CD, DVD (if it's a DVD player), other programs, etc...?
If not, it sounds like your drive may be broken. You will need to get the recovered material.
2. is this game works on another Vista computer?
If you have not tried this won't please if possible.
3. what game is, and it is even compatible Vista?
Click here to see if it is: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/
4. do you have it stop working recently? If so was there any change to the system before it stopped (software, hardware installed or changed)?
5. also, let us know which version of Vista you are running.
With those answers I hope someone can help.

I am trying to download acrobat pro dc creative use of clouds packer. It fails every time. It seems like PAC and do the package, but then when I try to install (acrobat pro dc) nothing happens. Installation starts but there no acrobat pro CD is installed.
Hi Pavle,
The installer for Acrobat is different from the rest Cloud Creative applications that is why when you create a package by using Creative Cloud Packager, there are two folders created:-
(1) build-->> all upward for all Applications of Cloud Creative except Acrobat.
(2) exceptions-->> Contains for Acrobat and the Muse.
You will need to install Acrobat first through the Exceptions folder. Select the option to install as a trial or a subscription.
Then install the creative rest of Cloud applications through generation file, it will install the applications and your copy of Acrobat license also.
I hope this helps!
Thank you

When I put my PC into sleep mode, it restarts.
Original title: Sleep Mode
Using Windows Vista, when I put my computer to sleep to reboot. The computer restarts on its own. When it restarts I get the screen asking me if I want to start normally, as if the computer restarted unexpectedly from the computer. I'd appreciate any help. Let me know if you need more details.
Hello1. have you made changes on the computer recently?First of all, you must disable the auto reboot system error and then we can check if the problem exists in safe mode or not.Method 1.Step 1. Disable automatic reboot to avoid unwanted restarts on system failure.a. when your computer starts up keep press F8 on your keyboard until you get the Advanced Boot Options screen.
b. now, use the arrow keys, select Disable automatic restart in case of system error and press ENTER.Step 2 Start your computer in safe mode and check if the problem exists. If it starts successfully and supposed works can be a third-party application or service is causing the problem. We can use the approach 50 / 50 to narrow down the root cause of the problem.

When I press run to start the installation, nothing happens in IE or Chrome
Try to install Firefox in Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP Pavilion PC. Download works, but when I click on lance, nothing happens. I tried to install in IE and Chrome and still nothing. Any ideas? I think it may have something to do with the way my user account is set up, but don't know enough about setting up the accounts to continue the investigation. I am a grandmother of 68 year, 6 which is not all that technically savvy so any how representative should be step by step or easy to understand. Thank you. Sandra in McLean, Virginia
You download the full Firefox installation program and save the file to the desktop?
Setup of small heel which is offered by the needs access to internet to download the files by default and can be blocked by security software causing the download fails.
The full installer should not give to this question.Try this:
- Download the full Firefox installation program and save the file to the desktop
https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/ - Start the installation by double-clicking on the desktop icon
You should get the usual pop-up UAC of Windows to start the installation.

I just wrote all of the above details in the section title - I can connect to the internet with an ethernet cable, but not with my wireless connection (e.g. in McDonald's restaurants). I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and installed a dlink on this wireless router. It is then the connection Wireless on my old laptop family disappeared.
It is not entirely because think that the hardware is failing. ;-)
It seems as if you have uninstalled the Intel wireless controls in Add or remove programs and the wired connection disappeared, can you have uninstalled something else than just wireless stuff.
This laptop has the Wired Intel Pro/100 VE network adapter - easy enough to uninstall something inadvertently to another 'Intel '. ;-) (The link for this driver is included here).

I put my CD in the drive and the only thing that happens is some sound then nothing. The CDs are not load as they did.
Hello
Next message will be on automatic/AutoRun reading where it is also a question AFTER you do these:
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.Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
