  • Windows does not display the CD-ROM drive

    A week ago, my computer stopped showing me an icon for my DVD player. When I go into the Device Manager there is no option for CD/DVD players. I tried Microsoft Fix It, and he told me that there is no CD drive. I can not re - install a driver because the Device Manager does not display the CD players.

    I did not major changes to my computer I know so I can't imagine what the problem is. Help?

    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

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings

  • Satellite P10 304 BIOS does not detect HARD and CDROM drive

    My HDD p10-304 has recently failed.
    I bought a new 60 GB western digital 2.5 drive "and installed today.

    At startup, the BIOS does not detect the drive, but also, it does not detect the CD-ROM drive.
    This makes me think that maybe it's not the player after all, maybe the onboard IDE / motherboard.

    I'm kinda stuck, so it's a new drive should work fine, and I have no way to test the motherboard.

    The only difference is that the insulation on the original drive sleeve should be reduced by half.
    The bit important (low, where the circuits would otherwise affect metal) is always there, it is the
    Few albums I had to remove but that should be no problem.

    Someone at - it suggestions?

    Thank you, Stu.

    What happens if the HARD drive is not connected to the motherboard? The BIOS recognize the CD/DVD drive correctly?

    You bought the HARD drive compatible? To my knowledge the Mobile supports a HARD drive with interface IDE (ATA-5) increased.

    But as you said possibly the motherboard failures and he would be advised to contact the technician during a particular test

    Personal laptop is limited to the installation of other equipment, graphic monitor (s) push resources. If ram memory

    is maximally, & the BIOS settings are set to a different monitor, Direct X updates, graphics software are updated, then

    We should be able to run a reg monitor... Chk, go in run or cmd, type: DXDIAG run Direct X.

    Also, the BIOS settings are critical, uninstall the default, add new ones.

  • Windows 7 does not detect multiple external hard drives

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion laptop to 7 Home Premium. I have two 500 GB external hard drives. When I connect them individually to the system, they are recognized and I can copy files to and from these External Drives. But when I try to connect both at the same time, Windows 7 does not detect the drive I connect then. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If the disks are powered by the USB bus and do not have their own external power supply the problem is that the laptop does not provide sufficient USB power to control both.

    The USB specification, is that each port should provide 500mA at 5V. To keep their batteries, laptops usually provide 500mA to share between all available ports. If you need to use several USB devices with significant power, you must either externally powered USB hub or to provide the devices with their own power supply to cutting.

  • Windows does not detect the controller Guitar Hero Explorer

    Told me to repost this question into the Xbox forums. Unfortunately there is no category of material for Xbox so I put it in video Applications for lack of a better forum.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-hardware/Windows-is-not-detecting-Guitar-Hero-Explorer/ff7bfae9-1ecb-4D2F-9134-e194e6cbfed3?TM=1392535709776&rtAction=1392692491927

    "I have a Guitar Hero controller (Xplorer) to PC that I used with my laptop to play Guitar Hero 3 for many years. My laptop is Windows 7 64-bit. I recently bought a game also desktop computer now Win7 64-bit. While my Guitar Hero controller works fine on my laptop, the device is not recognized when I plug it on my desk. I installed controller Xbox found here, http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows accessories, but it made no difference. The device appears in the Device Manager with a suitable name, however, it is next to him yellow warning symbol and is not recognized as a game controller. I tried to let Windows Update search for the driver, but he found nothing.

    It seems that my laptop uses a driver of XNA framework as the path of the certificate is "C:\Users\Daniel\system32\drivers\xnacc.sys". Curiously, even though my laptop and the Office have the latest version of installed XNA, xnacc.sys does not exist on the desktop. Two of my systems are completely up to date. I also made sure that the USB port on my desktop that I plugged the controller worked in and fed.
    I would like to know how I can get the controller to work on my desk. »

    After a lot of nonsense, I found a solution.

    (1) open the "Device Manager".
    (2) made the Guitar Hero controller right click Explore (even if it does not work correctly) and select "Properties".
    (3) Goto the tab "Driver" and click "Update Driver".
    4) click on "my computer for software driver the browser."
    5) click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer" instead of navigation.
    (6) select something like 'Common Microsoft device', I don't have the option anymore, so I can't search for it.
    (7) a new models will be listed for the Xbox controllers, I chose "Xbox 360 Controller for Windows [2007-02-15].
    To check if his work type "game controllers" in the windows search bar and select "configure USB game controllers. The guitar hero controller should appear in the list if it is now recognized.
  • HP 15-D103TX computer laptop problem: Windows does not detect the dedicated graphics card

    Hi all

    I recently bought a laptop HP 15 - D103TX , which is held responsible for Free on BACK. I have updated my Windows 8 operating system and have installed all the drivers from the HP website. The laptop has dedicated 2 GB Nvidia Geforce 820 M graphics card.

    But when I checked, I found that Windows displays the graphic memory dedicated only 0 MB.

    As you can see in the screenshot, it shows as 0MB dedicated graphics memory.

    Anyone can clear me, upward on this subject? Is it a driver problem, or what is Windows 8 going crazy.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Kind regards

    Brahmnoor

    Okay, I found the solution. In fact, the Haswell Intel i5 processor that my 15 HP D103TX has also comes with an Intel 4600 GPU intregated. So when I do normal tasks, the GPU intregated works, so Windows does not display the NVIDIA GPU 820M, but when I play a game or doing intense graphics work, he switches to the NVIDIA one.

    In fact, it makes sense, because it preserves the battery of the laptop.

    Credit: found this solution on the NVIDIA support forums.
