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?

Hello

Follow these steps to remove corruption and missing/damaged file system repair or replacement.

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

After the foregoing:

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

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

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
drive from someone with the same model.

    In the print menu, check "scale to fit media" under the Position and size of the device and then check out.

    If you want the area selected for printing, check "Print selected area" under the Position and size and specify the size.

  • 4.1 Developer, the output of the Script window does not display the last line of the output automatically

    Hi all

    I use the new version of the developer 4.0.1.14 on Windows 7 x 64, I noticed that the result of the query or the output of the script does not display as before:

    When I run a query lets say with 100 lines of output, run the query successfully, but the cursor jumps automatically to the last record in the game as in all previous versions, I have to scroll manually everytime.

    Can I change this?

    Thank you

    No, unfortunately, it's a bug.

    It is not for all queries however. Still boring.

  • Windows does not recognize the USB flash drive

    Hello
    My USB does not work when I plug. It seems that Windows recognizes the device because it is found in the Solution Explorer window, but if I want to create a folder or a file on the USB key I have the following message:
    "Cannot find this article.
    It is no longer in < %3="" null :="" optext=""> . Check the location of the components and try again. " < br=""> also the files that are copied to the USB flash drive are not visible in Explorer and it looks like the drive is empty.

    I want to emphasize that the same (Kingston) USB flash drive works perfectly under Windows XP operating system on another computer so it may not be a problem with the device. The same problem also appears when you use a different USB (another manufacturer).

    Thank you!

    Hey, 101 a.

    , I just posted a fix I found for my USB flash/go to work again.  It was a very simple solution, too.

    I unplugged all USB devices first, then tried my USB jump drive again.  IT WORKED! I've narrowed the problem to the new printer that I use.  It's a Mono Dell Laser MFP 1125.  Whenever it is plugged into a USB port, my USB doesn't work.  All other devices work, but not the USB is the printer is connected

    I don't know what done to block the flash/USB key, but unplug printer allows the jump command to work again.  I will contact Dell on what did the printer driver to block the flash player.  Just an info on the fix I found.

  • Finder windows does not display the content

    I have a Pre MacBrook, retina, 13-inch, early 2013 with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB memory, OS x 10.9.5. Today, my Finder became unstable. When I open a Finder window, it is empty and sometimes even shows the desktop or parts of the application 'through' underlying window. When I force-quit Finder and recovery, the first time I open a Finder window opens normally, but after a time freezes. Opening of windows within the application file works normally, so I can access my files in this way, but it is very annoying. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? You can provide any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Boot without failure and then stop and start normally seems to have solved the problem (I'm crossing my fingers as I type).

  • 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.

  • the preview window does not show the document that I'm about to print in Sierra

    The preview window does not display the document that I'm about to print. This problem started as soon as I upgraded to Sierra. It occurs in many applications - including in Microsoft Excel 2011.

    Hello, David Bry1,.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that when you try to print from a number of different applications, you do not see the preview of the document you are printing. I would like to assure you that I see the preview as well when I print. Let's see how we can get this resolved.

    I advise you to ensure that the printer software is up-to-date on your printer Brother DCP-7065DN. Please choose 'Available Software' brother printer and scanner software for macOS Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, and Mavericks

    If a software update is available, please install and then test and see if you get the same result.

    Have an amazing day!

  • What can you do to access the password options in the Security window if your Firefox browser does not display the options?

    I want to stop and prevent my Firefox browser to save passwords of Web site, I understand can be done using the Security window.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/security-and-passwords-settings?ESAB=a & s = passwords & r = 1 & s = ACE

    Unfortunately, once you open, the Security window does not display for me password options checkboxes even if that's what the support site says that the browser should do. Can't get the Security window to extend to view other options, which leads to me think that there are no other options.

    Any ideas what I can do about this problem? I'm on Mac OS 10.8.5 and Firefox 30.0. Thanks for the tips!

    In order to exclude extensions as a possible culprit in the dysfunction of the dialog, could you try to open Firefox Safe mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool in order to avoid interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • 3-bar menu button > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • (menu bar) Help > restart with disabled modules

    Firefox has to close, then displays a small dialog box: click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)
