Windows 8 does not recognize most of the new software CD how can I download new printer drivers?

Once more, Microsoft has outdone himself. The previously blindingly simple and obvious has been complicated to make incredibly frustrating and painful for users of the new version of windows. Why in the world 1/2 old software CD automatically recognized by Windows 8 and the other 1/2 no? None of these programs and their CDs are particularly old or dated. Worse still, I have a Canon printer and rickety Windows 8 will not load automatically when I insert the installation CD. And windows does not show the CD when I do a search in D: drive. How and why are you people so incompetent?  I'm sorry to be rude and mean, but seriously. The whole bloody point of tech and people like you is to operate more easy is DO NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TIME CONSUMINGLY DOULOUREUX.

Hello

Just kind of guessing here, but you could browse through your control panel... "AutoPlay" settings and see if it can just be a problem with setting...

Another possibility is that one of your programs blocking access to some of the CD...

Some programs have the option of 'Ownership' of your drive, for lack of a better description...

iTunes can possibly do this and some CyberLink programs... There are other institutions...

Another possibility is that some of them may be blocked by Windows because of compatibility issues...

Some windows updates do precisely that for some programs.

    a. connect any USB device to the computer.
    b. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc, and then click ok.
    c. in the list of items, click one of the items, click the Action menu and click scan for hardware changes.
    d. check if the device is detected.

    Step 2: Try to remove and reinstall all USB controllers
    a. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc in the Open box and then click OK.
    b. in the list of components, expand Bus USB controllers.
    c. right-click on each device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click on uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    d. restart the computer once you have removed all the USB controllers.
    Note: USB controllers automatically install after you restart the computer.
    e. plug the removable USB storage device and perform a test to ensure that the problem is solved.

    2. If I plug any USB keyboard or a Bluetooth keyboard on it - it does not recognize.

    However, the Bureau will recognize any wired (USB) or mouse wireless (bluetooth) connected.

    It baffles me that the bureau will recognize a usb or bluetooth mouse mouse - but that it will not recognize the bluetooth keyboard or a usb keyboard.

    I tried many things

    1. connect the USB and Bluetooth keyboards in my laptop and check that they work properly. -They are.

    2. I tried using different USB ports on the desktop. He has not made a difference.

    3. my computer allows you to access its bios using F8 - I checked that my material was grateful the Generic USB keyboard before loading Windows. (I could select F8 and bring up the desktop in mode of Bios Configuration).

    4. I tried to start Windows in safe mode. That did not help at all.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    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
