• Laptop HP G60t-500 - cannot find the DVD burner driver

  Hello

  I upgraded my laptop G60t-500 for Windows 8.  I had to reinstall some of the drivers in compatibility mode and overall, it works ok (thumping audio does not work, but I get audio with USB speakers) However, I just noticed that the DVD RW drive does not.  In Device Manager, the hp DVDRAM GT20L reports the following error message:

  Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

  {Unable to load device driver}
  HS device driver could not be loaded.
  Error status is 0 x %x

  I was looking on the site of HP support pilot for the original drivers for the DVD RW drive but can't seem to find them.  I found the HP DVD Play software and I was wondering if it needs to be reinstalled.  Or I have to look elsewhere for the device driver?  Or should I uninstall and leave the machine to find the driver.

  As a record, when I right click on the device in Device Manager and select "Update driver software", select the option to let the computer find the right driver, he again reports the correct driver is installed.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Thank you, Vidya.  I had to reboot and now my machine 'sees' the DVD player and it's working (I tested it using a DVD for playback and serious files).

  Thank you!!

• Windows cannot recognize the printer after the print job is canceled

  When I installed my printer Epson XP - 410 on my laptop Windows 7, the installation of program established three identical icons in the box "Show hidden icons" system tray, a 'Epson XP-410 series named' and others adding "(Copy 1) and (copy 2) that." It was not critical until today when I ran in the paper and cancelled the print job. Now rather than see the icon for XP - 410 as before, Windows Live Photo Gallery is only to see the icon (copy 2) and the properties of the printer selection under print settings is looking for a printer that does not exist, say is not ready, showing without ink, etc..  Anyone know how I can get Windows to recognize the printer that is there instead of look for one that is not there? I tried to customize under Show hidden icons, but when I change the status of the any icons, they change all three at once. Any help would be so appreciated...

  Hi Robert,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

  1. What is the exact error message you get when you give the print command?
  2. You have related driver printer disks to install the printer?

  The question may arise if the package of printer from the printer model driver is either not installed correctly or has been corrupted.

  In order to diagnose and solve the problem, I would say, try the following methods and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  Run the printer Troubleshooter and check if that helps. He made sure that a printer is connected to your computer, and it checks for common issues such as whether the printer has enough paper and toner to complete printing your document.

  Open the printer Troubleshooter

  If the problem persists, try the following method.

  Method 2:

  Try to uninstall and reinstall the last full have printer drivers and check if the problem persists.

  Step 1: Uninstall the printer drivers installed in the system

  • Open programs and features, click Start > Control Panel > programs and features.
  • Find and select Epson printer drivers in the list of programs.
  • Click Uninstall and follow the instructions on the screen.
  • Reboot your system.

  Step 2: Reinstall the printer drivers

  Reinstall the latest drivers at the following link that is compatible with Windows 7.

  Epson XP-410

  Hi John - thank you for your response. For the benefit of someone else who has this problem, I was able to perform a miracle. Went to Start - devices and printers, found three printers instead of one year, removed the two copies and who has also removed the two unwanted icons in the systray. Now, everything's fine. Hope this helps someone.  Thank you, Christian...

• 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?

• XP does not recognize the DVD after burning them.

  I have a Pioneer DVD - RW DVR - 110 d. When I restart XP and open Windows Explorer recognizes the drive as a DVD one. But for some strange reason, when I insert a prerecorded DVD, Windows Explorer changes the designation of my drive as a CD drive and will not read my drive. It remains this way until I have restart XP. I can burn to DVD, but when it comes to their reading it won't. I thought that maybe there was some kind of hardware/software conflict, but even Mr. finest he could not find the problem. Short of re-installing XP, I don't no what else to do. All the suggestions/help? Thank you.

  When burning DVD on Windows XP, you may need the Microsoft patch available through this article:
    KB932716 - Description of the package to update API Mastering Image v2.0 (IMAPIv2.0) dated June 26, 2007

  In addition, this optical drive DVR - 110 d, also known by the Pioneer DVR-610 and the DVR-R100, has a firmware update available in the support web page Pioneer DVD computer writers .  There is updated firmware in question and a program to detect the current level of firmware.  There is a list of compatibility of optical media available in the documents and an overview of the drive section.  Note: you can often see drive firmware level in the chain of identification of device in the Device Manager.

  It should also read the pioneer article knowledge base: is an IDE cable / ATA of Ultra DMA (80 drivers) required for this willingness to work on my DVR - 110 d, DVR-R100, DVR - 610?
