  • 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?

  • Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

    I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works... '. «, «What to do if the file history works more...» ", etc, but all without success. The tech also remote BestBuy Geek squad my computer and tried EVERYTHING and could not get it to succeed.  BTW, it's not the HD post because put us on another computer to WIN 8 and Hx file found immediately.  Tech people thought that it was a deep registry with Win 8 problem and their only suggestion was to reimage my computer with the original recovery disk.  But who is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

    I'm not very tech savvy, so I know there must be something very simple, I'm do wrong or overlooking and I hope that some dear soul on this forum or someone from Microsoft can give me an idea or two.  Thank you very much

    I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

    I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize driver for HP Scanjet 5370c scanner

    I was not able to get Windows 7 to recognize the driver for my HP Scanjet scanner on my new HP Pavilion Elite a9200z desktop computer.  I tried to install the original driver delivered with the software that not only failed, but it was necessary to do a system restore to an earlier date.  After downloading the software update and the driver on the HP website (for the XP operating system. (No), the software successfully installed but Device Manager said there is no driver installed.  I tried Udating driver in Device Manager, but none were found on the system.  I'm afraid that because the driver is not signed by HP, this is perhaps the reason that the system will not recognize it.  I do not receive a message about the driver being made and has been disabled.

    Where would the driver have been installed under Windows and what would be the name of the file?  Is it possible to install a driver that has not been signed on Windows 7, even though I know that it comes directly from the manufacturer.  I came on this forum that says HP email support is no longer in effect for this scanner.  Scanner was working fine under Windows XP.  Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

    Thank you for your response.  I posted the same question to the Board of Directors Microsoft as well.  One of the technicians gave me a link to a website that has software in support of scanners which pilots the manufacturer has not, for some reason, took worth to upgrade to Windows Vista or Windows 7.  I installed Vuescan driver bundled with the program which works perfectly, and my scanner HP Scanjet scanner 5370c is upward and great in Windows 7.  They have a list of more than 100 scanners supported by the program.  So, anyone interested should check the list before you buy the program.  No, the program is not free, but it is much cheaper ($39.95) that pitching on a scanner perfectly ideal of work and having to buy a new one.    Anyway, if anyone is interested in the possibility of using their scanner ' is no longer supported "with Windows 7, the website below might help.

  • 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.

  • 2014 iMac will not recognize part of the promenade of fusion after failure bootcamp

    Hi all

    I tried to install windows 7 with boot camp. I put the disk in boot camp to be around 250 GB. When it restarts, it did not recognize the USB key and asked for a disc. I have no disc drive I did a hard stop down. This scene reproduces and I stopped again and it starts in recovery. I then deleted the bootcamp drive and tried the mac hd drive for all distribution. It froze and I restarted. I did not start so I went back into recovery and restored a backup. Disk utility does not show the 250 GB I booked for the boot camp. Only TI 777 free on 860.48. It is a Fusion of 1.12 to disc. Help, please. I know it is probably self-inflicted and I did several things wrong.

    2. If the restoration did not erase the entire disk fusion, you restored to a Volume of CS of OSX existing, which won't change size.

    3. start Internet recovery, remove part of the SSD and HDD, if necessary and then restore them to a newly created CS LV/LVG. You use Time Machine to restore?

  • Windows Update will not find or install the updates

    I turned on my laptop last night after several months of inactivity, and when I ran Windows Update I met an interesting problem. Windows Update took a long time to look so I decided to let it run all night. When I checked on this subject in the morning, Windows Update has been always looking, but I had already received a notification in the taskbar informing me that there are updates available.

    I could not cancel the search, so I restarted my laptop, and when I logged Windows again, I saw the list of the updates that are available even if the "last check for updates" was always showing "22/05/2016 at 22:46. I selected all important updates and tried to download and install them, but after several hours, the status was still stuck at 0%. I canceled the installation and noticed that the update of Silverlight has been downloaded and ready to be installed. I tried to update only one without success and was finally able to get it by allowing Windows Installer updates immediately before the power off of the laptop. When I turned my phone back and connected, I could do the same for an update of the framework.

    So far, those who have been the only two updates to cross, and I could not download or install the rest. An additional problem is that my Windows Update always displays a prompt stating "Windows 10 upgrade booked" despite the deadline passing on the free update. When I see the confirmation, I get a popup Windows 10 stating that the offer has ended. I don't know if this is related to why Windows Update does not work, but I saw more guests for 10 Windows on my main computer once the delay.

    Other things I've tried are to update manually the time at the time of Microsoft servers and try to download and install the updates one at a time, but neither contributed to the situation. In addition, Microsoft Security Essentials apparently downloaded and installed the latest definition files on its own, so it would seem that the problem is only related to Windows Update.

    I've attached screenshots of my Windows Update history and update. Any help would be appreciated.
