• After you have installed the Windows updates, my computer does not recognize that there is a disc in the DVD - ROM thing

  I had this problem for weeks and only recently someone told me that it is perhaps for this reason.
  I tried several things to fix, and one of those who created an error where when I clicked on drive E in Windows Explorer, it looks like:

  E:\ application not found

  So, in the end, I wiped my computer and everything on it and rebooted again.

  IT TOOK FOUR HOURS.

  So, I've set up the computer as I did when I got it 2 years ago, and everything was fine. I could insert a disc, it reads that and I was able to install my game, no problems.

  Now, I have reset everything up, and there are more than 2000 updates to update installed. So I did.

  SO NOW, after all this, which took another TWO HOURS - he does not all disks again.

  I play the Sims 3 - fiercely - and so I tried to re - install all my expansion packs, but it does not now.

  I DON'T want to make that whole process again and install all my games before updating Windows, because I believe, even if I did that, once I've updated, I can't play the game, because my laptop does not recognize that the game disc is there.

  Help, please.

  I spent so much money on these games, and I love them! I don't have the money to buy a new computer.

  Hello Graboots,

  Thank you for your message.  You can plug your printer on another computer, in order to exclude the possibility that the problem lies in the printer?  You can try using a different cable, for this rule as well.  Since it is a question of recognition, we remove the external devices before software troubleshooting.  Do you get anything when you plug the printer (ie. a tinkle of connection)?  Please let us know, we are looking forward to hear back on your part.
  See you soon

• my printer is a HP CP1700 and Windows 7 does not recognize that it is able to print 2 sides

  I just bought a Dell Inspiron.  It works very well except for my printer.  My HP color inkjet CP1700 printer is able to print 2 sides.  Windows 7 does not recognize that it is able to print both side and does not give me the option to enable printing two sides.

  Did you download the drivers from the HP website or just use Windows Update? Try using the software from here.

• Qosmio G30-163: encoder Windows media does not recognize video devices

  I can't get the Windows media encoder to recognize my video camera connected to the S-video (Qosmio G30-163) port.

  I have a similar problem with Web conferencing pro application Marratech (it crashes after 15-20 seconds if I try to use it-during the time the application is inactive - in configuration I see the photo/video test).

  If I use InterVideo® WinDVD Creator 2 Platinum software packaged for video capture it works fine.

  Hello

  In my opinion there would be something wrong with the compatibility of the MCE and s-video. Have you tried to run the MCE updates?
  If the s-video connection works with InterVideo WinDVD Creator, then I guess there is no hardware malfunction (s-video port).

  How about the video and the port? Have you checked if it works?
  This port allows you to import video data from analog video camera.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  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.

  ===============================

  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 correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• Windows Media not recognize that there was a blank CD inserted when you try to burn a.

  I am trying to burn a CD and follow the instructions clearly for an engraving. When Windows Media then asks me to insert a blank CD I expected to continue burning once it recognizes the Virgin CD - R has been inserted. But it's not... It is not simply acknowledge that there is a blank Cd inserted. Can someone help me? I am running Windows 7. Thank you.

  Well it's good news that sfc found no problem. It seems that the problem is with the optical drive itself. It is perhaps simply that the lens needs cleaning that can be done with a disk designed especially for the readers of pc, or you can take a chance to do it yourself with a very soft brush and a Tickle very gently around the area of the lens, assuming this is a laptop and you can see the lens - otherwise you will need the disk.

  Otherwise you may need to consider the purchase of an optical drive usb (external) - they are relatively inexpensive and often provide better results than the built-in readers in laptops. Try to clean everything first well... Best, Ric.
