Windows 7 and other programs cannot read or burn cddvd

My system not usually read or burn on my cddvdw drive. I'm on a Toshiba Satellite L500D with a TSST TS-L633C, and after I had these problems I installed Toshiba DVD player as well. From Toshiba DVD player can play the discs very well! Nothing else will accept that there is a DVD in the drive ~ including Windows applications and Microsoft themselves. Until I start to play using the DVD from Toshiba drive, the disc in the drive is simply the drive "hunting" or at least that's what it looks like.

I noticed in "Device Manager" this drive has now two drivers that are associated with ~ the pilot Windows and a pilot separated for the reader to DVD from Toshiba. NOTE: This player has been installed AFTER that I started to have problems.

At some point I uninstalled all CDDVDW drive altogether and rebooted the system. Windows recognizes that I had 'new device' and installed his "pilot new as well as the driver Toshiba DVD Player as well. Still no joy in the use of this unit with anything other than Toshiba DVD Player.

Here, anyone has any new ideas?

PS: I ran the Fix Tool from this site with no results!

Rock 'n' Roll-live!

Hello

"A DVD will be recognized by the Toshiba DVD player, but by nothing else in any OS I
on this system. (I have Vista, Windows7, and PCLinuxOS tri-boot.) »

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

Since the 3 operating systems fail to recognize the drive correctly I think that the problem is hardware related.
drive speed, wiring, circuits on the motherboard. Or the real player has a problem. This isn't very
likely that all 3 OS developed a similar problem at the same time, it's why the only things remaining
are the material and the reader. Check the BIOS, although given that it could have been written a glitch
in it.

I hope this helps.

    Thank you

    Hi Mike,.

    According to my experience, this kind of behaviour is symptomatic of the corruption of data on the hard drive. However, since you say that these applications work sometimes I am inclined to suspect that your hard drive may be failing, possibly with errors in sector where those applications reside.

    I suggest that you take a backup copy of the any of your own data files and then run a CHKDSK command on your hard drive to see what he finds (this can make a right click on the HARD drive in my computer icon, then select Properties, then the Tools tab.) Check disk utility is at the top).

    If it detects too many bad sectors, and then looking to replace the hard drive and reinstalling your system.

    Kind regards

    Hello help 757,

  • Why some games and other programs need to be "run as Administrator" mode in 7RC which worked fine in normal mode on 7 beta and vista?

    Why some games and other programs must be run in Admin mode in 7RC which worked fine in normal mode on 7 beta and vista?

    An example of this is the game Guild Wars (www.guildwars.com). I had problems with this with random programs.

    cbello57,
    Run as administrator may be required for some games and programs because they have a permission structure different in Vista in Windows 7 (Windows 7 and Vista are different in how to manage certain permissions).

    I suggest test you installation of the game in the program by clicking on the Setup file by clicking on "Run as administrator".

    This will sometimes solve this kind of situation because it installed the program in a State of high permission.

    This output from test and let us know your results Rami
