Windows 7 does not see some games or DVD discs in my DVD - RW drive

I'm using Windows 7 Home Edition premium for my office, and all of a sudden she refuses to see my game or DVD discs when I put them in the drive. He will see my DVD - RW discs, but nothing else. The games I ran before with no problem at all, and drives that I'm trying will play fine on my Windows XP laptop, so I'm not sure what has changed to make it act like this.

It looked like from this, after that I burned a disc of pictures of family once, but I'm not positive.

I tried to uninstall the drivers for the DVD - RW, and reinstall, I don't know what else to do.

  • After you install a second WD 1 TB my book drive, Windows Explorer does not see the new drive.

    Original title: Signature Collision?

    I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.

    Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision

    Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).

    I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.

    Can anyone help?

    Who can help me to get the right driver or learn more? Problems with the carpet * a DVD-ram uj-850 s ATA device and windows Vista.

    Hello

    The CD/DVD drive needs no special drivers!
    Vista includes a Microsoft driver that works with all CURIOUS s (CD/DVD drives)

    Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.

    A few questions; did you get any error messages? What is the status of Device Manager? Do you see yellow exclamation points?

    There is an old way to correct a similar drive problem. It worked on XP then try it on Vista OS.
    It of necessary to update the registry entry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    1. click on the start menu.
    2. If it is a Vista machine in the search box type regedit without quotes.
    3. look for the registry key mentioned above.
    4. in the right panel you'll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and UpperFilter you want to click on each key filter and tap on delete. Click Yes when asked to confirm if you want to delete the key.
    5. restart Windows.
    6 let me know if it works.

  • Windows 7 does not see the xp on network machines

    We are a store Dell running XP Pro on peer-to-peer networks... deployment of Windows 7 Pro workstations and laptops. Out-of-the-box, we put it sharing, discovery, working group; etc. However, some of the machines Win 7 do not see network XP machines and thus cannot use the graphical interface to map to different files and resources. You can their ping, set using "Net Use" or "Add a network location" or "Connect Player" as long as you know the complete path (ie: \\server\server_share\home\bill\cad\cnc.) But you can't see them in the network window to map the drive to records letters. I have studied this issue, has visited many forums and talked to many other tech all with the same question. The conclusion seems to be because it is a Win 7 problem not addressed XP came out. So the current thinking seems to be to use the commands Net use in an autoexec.bat file. So to use the latest version of Windows with XP, we need to use commands BACK maps automatically records. A huge advances in technology. Really? Tell us we're wrong and there is an answer?

  • Research of start Windows 7 does not see outlook and onenote items

    I use office 2010 and windows 7 Enterprise.    When you used to search in the start bar the results it would display would contain items outlook and onenote but it is no longer made.  It contains only the elements with the words to search for in the name of the file.

    If however I chose see more results while all outlook and onenote items are there.  It feels like a framework or something somewhere has changed and now the start bar search does not bother to look in the index.
    I made sure that all the search options in the start bar properties tab are on and working, but still no results.
    Anyone got any ideas?

  • Windows Vista does not see my Canon G12 digital camera

    I tried to upload photos today of my Canon G11 digital camera and has encountered a problem.
    I used this camera and other cameras on this computer before and had no problem connecting to the cameras.  Today, I'm having a problem.
    (1) I plug in the camera and a small window at the bottom right of my screen jumps to the top of the poster "install device driver".
    "(2)"new hardware found"window that reads,".
    Windows needs to install driver software for Canon digital camera»
    There are three choices:

    • Locate and install driver software
    • Ask me later
    • Do not show the message for this device

    (3) I click "locate and install driver software" and I get a updated driver software - error of digital Canon camera that reads, "Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device."  Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.
    Digital camera
    An error occurred during the installation of the device:
    Cannot install the driver because he is only not digitally signed properly.  Contact your hardware vendor. »

    I tried to reboot several times, and I tried to uninstall the device from Device Manager and reinstall the device. None of these worked.  |

    AFAIK there are no drivers for this device on the Canon website.  How can I get my Windows Vista computer to recognize my Canon G11 camera?

    Thank you
    John

    a screen pops up announcing that a new device has been detected.

    The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
    To reinstall the drivers for this device, click on reinstall.

    Yes there is no drivers for the device. The software supplied with the camera must be installed. The camera window should open when the camera is connected to the computer. Try using another USB port or use another cable, it can go bad too.

    In the Device Manager expand Universal Serial Bus controllers, search for the connected camera or something as a mass storage device. Right click above and uninstall, then restart, it needs to be reinstalled. If does not uninstall everything under USB controllers and then restart your computer.

  • Windows 7 does not see added internal hard drive

    I installed an internal hard drive 1 TB on a Windows 7 using SATA system.  Device Manager sees the drive, but Windows does not.  So I can't access the drive. How can I get Windows to use this hard disk (disk 1) to be the image of the disk system 0?

    Thank you

    Probably should have Setup no matter what RAID before installation.  Thinking that can be a destructive thing.  Not that I'm a great believer in RAID1 arrays (mirror) - I'm not.  I'd rather have real backups - external backups.

    Usually a RAID1 will help only if the first hard drive die an immediate death.  None of the defective areas, no viruses, no random deletion of files.  Why?  Because a HARDWARE RAID1 is an instant copy of everything that happens on the first hard drive.  If you clear hundreds of files - they are on both.  A virus corrupts the things - the other disc is in place.  Form data and scramble of bad sectors - well, look!

    I have a storage attached network device I backup on an eSATA hanging from it it stores up to another network and storage I do more selective backups to as a backup for my saved backups.  Internal - nothing.  Well, I guess that the restoration of the system and version control integrated with Windows 7...

  • LR 5 / 10 Windows - import does not see my photos directory

    Hey people,

    LR 5 Windows 10.  It worked great until a recent windows update.  Now I can't see my photos directory in the import dialog box.  I see the drive the files are, but can not see the directory of real photos.

    Another bit of clarifying information: when windows updated, he kept an account of windows to create onilne.  This account creates a new set of home directories that appear to be linked to the previous windows user name file structure 7. Something seems to have changed which prevents LR to see all the files on the disc.

    Has anyone else seen elsewhere?

    Thank you!!

    I do not think that it has nothing to do with an account of the window (note that was never an obligation) online, but more with the permissions.

    The test is to run Lightroom as administrator or check that your has UID of full access to these directories through the Properties dialog box.

    My guess is that previously, you used only access I want to who had administrative access and is not a new one, that you created.
