• Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

  Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

  It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

  It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

  What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

  After the foregoing:

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  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
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  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.

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

  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.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  Hello

  I see nothing unusual, except that there should be a "0001", or even "0002"...

  When you have made the registry change, you used the command line (Admin)?... the process may not work with the regular command prompt...

  Also, try to go to Device Manager, right click on your DVD drive, click on uninstall and restart.

• Inspiron 1525 / Windows Vista replaced but disc will not load the drivers

  Inspiron 1525 (6/2008) hard drive failed.    Bought a Western Digital spare hard drive 500G (WD Blue) SATA III 5400 RPM.   (NOTE: this is the 2nd replacement hard drive because I bought the 1525... the first time I replaced the hard drive, everything worked as it should.) Original hard drive was a Seagate).

  Replacement hard drive installation is installed it will not load the Vista OS from the disk to the operating system (which came with the laptop) because it does not recognize the driver for the hard disk.

  I tried downloading the latest drivers from the Dell site, but which did not work or the other.

  As I said, the previous hard drive replacement (an another western digital) works perfectly when I reinstalled the Vista operating system in 2010.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you...

  Thanks for the detailed instructions.   I tried everything, but it didn't work.

  Then I read about someone trying to install the same on an Inspiron 1545 hard drive and need to adjust the drive to align with the connectors using paper and another person was using the foil which made me realize that it was a problem of 'size' or 'worthy '. I then decided to open the laptop and manually set the new drive in place and everything works now. (Dell 1525 has a side load drive holder therefore had to open to make this setting correctly).  The player on the 1525 is 9.5 mm thick, but the new disc is 7 mm... even though the sales page for this player said he would fit a 9.5 mm slot.

  Everything is good now.

• Windows Media Player XP Professional will not read the DVD.

  I can't get my Windows Media Player XP Professional to play DVDs.  The system is only a couple of years and it used to read discs, but for several months, it is no longer made.  WMP keeps my music library and can play these songs without problem, but it will not play a DVD.  Why is this the case and I need to do about it?

• Windows vista service pack 2 - will not recognize the presence of service pack 1

  Here's the situation

  I installed Windows service pack 1 (32-bit)
  computer restarts
  tried to install service pack 2, but it will not be installed because he thinks that I have not installed service pack 1
  went to automatic updates yesterday and he said that I had to install service pack 1, so I let him install that
  Updates checked to automatic update today... He always thinks that I need to install Service Pack 1 I did
  tried to install SP 2 but he always thinks that I have installed SP 1
  My ultimate goal is to install parental controls of Windows, but I think that's not possible unless I have SP1 and SP2 and Platform for Vista update

  Hello

  Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

  It will also tell you here what Service Packs, if any, are already installed.

  Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, first of all the installation of SP1.

• Remote Desktop for Mac will not use the printer driver

  On an iMac with Lion 10.7.3, I try to get an Epson ReadyPrint T20 - TM to use the Epson driver when it is connected to our server Windows 2008 R2 with DRC 2.1.1 but it keeps using a HP Color Laser Jet 2800 Series PS we have not the HP printer and I need some features in the Epson driver.

  I installed the printer on the server and removed several times without alteration. When 'Use a printer connected to the Mac' is selected in the preferences of the DRC the printer is a printer that is redirected, but the use of the driver of HP. Printing from Mac works with all the features.
  On the server, we have 3 installed roles, file, desktop Services to remote and Web server (IIS) Services
