Windows Update seems to be downloading wrong driver for my DVD-rom

My dvd - rom was working perfectly until one day when I logged on my laptop, a little saying that the driver has been updated appears at the bottom of the screen.  I couldn't stop this update and when he had finished I could play is no longer the game CD or DVD.  I went to Device Manager and could not roll back the driver.  The name of the pilot was interrupted by many @ signs, which made me suspect it was not the real thing.  Since then, the only time where my DVD worked was when I updated for DivX Plus and who seemed to install the original driver, as the name on the Device Manager is now allowed in @ signs and I could play DVDs and games.  It lasted until the next update of Microsoft, when everything returned to the wrong driver.  As it has been the installation of the updates, I could hear the DVD rom drive, limit the several times, which seemed a little strange.  Someone at - it ideas about what is happening here?  When I try to update this fake driver I tells me that it is the most recent version.

Hello

Sorry didn't see your response earlier, alerts are sometimes outlandish.

REMOVE you (all) devices as indicated at the top of stage 1?

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

    There is no such thing as a pilot for ODD (optical disc drive). It uses the standard Microsoft driver. Try please remove the disc from the Device Manager, then restart the laptop. After reboot the ODD will be detected and installed it again. Check please if the problem persists.

    If yes I recommend you to install the driver for DVD-RAM (DVDForm Utility). You can find it on the download page of Toshiba. I use the 3.0.9.0a version. and it works perfectly.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  • Windows updates could not be downloaded or installed

    The last date on which Windows updates have been installed correctly on my PC has been on 12 August.  Since that date something prevents me to install new updates.  Whenever I click on the "Install updates" button on the box "Download and install new updates on my computer" for Windows Update tent to start downloading (the green progress bar appears for a second or two), but then my PC back to the "yellow shield with the message box"download and install the new update on my computer".  At first I thought it was just busy at Microsoft, so I waited until a 'downtime' to try again.  Same no result... no download.  Several updates again 'important' security, but also the other "Recommended" updates are waiting for download and install, but I can't understand how prevents download of launch.  I ran my anti-virus several times more than my 2 x a week all the scan in the hope that there is some sort of bug that prevented my access to Windows Update, but no luck.  I also read a lot of Forums to see if there are other users having this problem of sam and have not seen any other comments.

    There is another bug that I have yet to understand that everything began to happen within the last week and there may be a link between the inside and the problem I am having with Windows Update.  I have a dialog box that is displayed on my screen for less than one second every 10 seconds or more.   I have read this program is located on the area and it's "C:\\Windows\system32\wuauclt\exe", but sometimes, the dialog box that appears is 'C:\\Windows\system32\SndVol\exe' and in the box itself, it says "program too big to fit in memory".

    I have a Dell XPS M1530 and Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 installed.  32-bit Intel Core II Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10 GHz and 4.00 GB RAM

    Any Suggestions on how to fix any of these issues?

    Hello DAN to GO.

    Try to start your system in safe mode:

    1. Restart your computer if it is running.
    2. Press and hold the F8 key for 3 seconds after your computer powers initially on.
    3. Once you see the menu Advanced Boot Options, you can stop tapping.
    4. Up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
    5. Select Mode safe mode with networking and press ENTER.
    6. You should see drivers loading, it may take a few moments.
    7. You should then be at the Welcome screen.
    8. Connect to your computer using an account with administrator privileges.
    9. Now, you download (free) MalwareBytes from here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol install, Update then do a scan of your system in safe mode, to ensure that it is indeed clean! Once the scan done remove anything it finds. Simply restart your PC to see if your problem has been resolved!

    To resolve this problem, use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to determine which file is causing the problem, then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc) the sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

  • Difficulties to download the driver for printer HP laserjet 1020 for laptop Windows 7 (64-bit)

    I bought a new laptop from HP which works under Windows 7 (64-bit). I tried to download the driver for my HP laserjet 1022 printer - the website shows that this printer should work with Windows 7 with the driver available for download from the HP site. When I click to download the driver it starts to download, but then I get the following message "downloading lj1020-HP-pnp-win64 - in .exe was interrupted. I'm trying to resume the download and the same thing happens each and every time.

    Someone at - it solutions? Thank you

    Sarah - I dsl which is at the lower end of DSL speed and I can tell you that I sometimes have problems download from the HP site.  The HP software is quite 'bulky' and/or 'intense' (I have no other way to describe it).  If it gets interrupted it usually leaves.  My guess is that it's your connection mobile broadband is not not a connection permanently at times causing the interruption.  If you have no regular internet type, try to go to a mobile hotspot that is free in a city near you or a store that offers for free (Panera, McDonalds, Starbucks, etc.) and download the file from there.  Make sure your firewall is active and security to prevent unauthorized entry into your computer during download.

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

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • Print options in the PC missing with a download of driver for a HP1510 printer.

    As the disk original CD with my HP1510 printer is not recognized by Windows 8 and IE10 on my new laptop, I downloaded a driver for the series "HP1500" using the USB connection and the installation wizard.

    However, while appearing to install successfully, I found soon it there was not any range of printing options that I used with older versions of Windows.

    A good example is when I try to print the pages of a small program guide for a friend that I promised. Editing several pages on a sheet was so hard, that I actually went on another computer in an Internet café to perform the task using files copied to a memory stick, which I of course had to pay, but at least the work was done.

    An update of Windows has received today has restored the "several pages on a sheet" option, but is still very "primitive" because the more I hope that is 2 small pages at both ends of the sheet, I can't enlarge for clarity or align well together.  That I could only manage another computer, "booklet" mode, which does not exist in my 'new' version of Windows, which should not be the case.  Therefore, looking for advice on how to get the full range of printing features advanced experienced with an earlier version of Windows.

    It is an old printer and before Windows 8 even thought, all features are simply not there. The main goal is just to make the same printer compatible with Windows 8, providing the basic features. The best you can expect is updated later, but there is no guarantee that you will never see these options in Windows 8.

  • what I have to write the serial number. before you download a driver for my printer?

    What is the serial number helped and I have to write down it before you download a driver for my printer?

    I have my printer and I want to download the driver that is related to my printer, I searched but did not find where I can write the serial number to reduce the possibilities of the wrong driver.

    There were also 3 options after that I named my printer:

    1. HP Officejet 4500 all-in-One Printer - G510g

    2. HP Officejet 4500 all-in-One printer - G510a

    3. HP Officejet 4500 Wireless all-in-One Printer - G510n

    I don't know what I should choose.

    Best regards

    So, you can use the Installation Wizard of HP printer if your using Windows 7, 8 or 8.1.

    If you have any of the above operating systems, connect the printer to your PC via the USB port or connect it to your network.

    Then run the next tool that will detect your connected printer and download the correct driver for it:

    If you have any other operating system, please specify your printer model exactly as shown previously.

  • How to download a driver for Photosmart 7200 on Win 7

    I have a Photosmart 1115 old printer which works well.

    There is no Win 7 drivers for this printer, but a Photosmart 7200 driver works.

    How can I download a driver for the 7200?

    The wizard will not pick up because I do not have a connected 7200.

    The driver for Deskjet 970 is a good match for the Photosmart 1115.  You can add this driver or driver Photosmart 7200 via Windows Update as follows: click Start, devices and printers, add a printer to the local path (select LPT1: for now), then, and then click Windows Update in the lower right of the window to add printer.  It will take a few minutes for the Update window, after the Photosmart 7200 series won't be an election under the manufacturer HP (Hewlett-Packard).  Select this option.  Once you have finished the installation then go to change settings on the port, as described in this document.
