When I put a disk into my CD/DVD drive and then go into Computer and click my E: drive, all I get is the 'Please insert disc into E: ...' message. Up until a few days ago the exact same discs were working with my system, and they're working because I've run them on my PS3 to check.

the speakers are plugged into the back green hole, they work with my ipod and are being detected in control panel and device list.
the only thing i can think of is that the rear panel is not enabled some how, does anyone know how to enable it manually?
I have Imate mobile which I am trying to connect to my laptop with a USB cable in Windows Vista Home premium. It is not detecting. I have my destop system which is having preinsalled windows vista business version and here it is detecting automatically without installing the imate CD. Is that vista home version is not supporting imate connectivity? I installed the Imate installation CD also but still did not detect in vista home version.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using a windows Vista 32 bit home premium notebook computer for which the wireless network detection has stopped working. I updated the driver for the built in wireless card with out any results. I also tried a plug in wireless card which windows detected and said was working properly and this did not work either. This leaves me to believe that something is wrong with the OS.
I can get on the internet via dialup modem and also by the ethernet connection with a DSL modem. I have been to several hotspots that I know have wifi and no networks show up. When I click on the "Connect to" in the start menu, nothing happens. When I click on "connect to a network" in control panel, I get an error loading wizards message saying module not found. The card is an Inrel pro wireless 3945ABG and IS turned on. All critical windows updates have been installed.
I recently started supporting a remote site of 4 vista, 1 xp 2 mac users. They have a networked HPCP1515n printer. Original vista users are fine they can print to it but two new users to this printer cannot get vista to detect the printer. When I run the network install drivers they get the following: error 1327.Invalid Drive z:. I have tried the usb install but that fails similiarly too. Vista does not detect the printer but older users who were connected are fine. I have tried installing from local c: all fail. i have tried older versions of the driver all fail. The users have profiles set up to z: Attached is a screen shot of the error
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow to detect whether readyboost is active or not? I have a 2GB USB Sandisk with U3, it was once used for readyboost, but no more (at least, I don't want it to be). Apparently, because it has U3 on it, when the autoplay comes up one doesn't even see readyboost as an option under 'General Options'. However, if one does a 'properties' and navigates to the 'Readyboost' tab, it is always set as if it were being used - even though it doesn't appear like it actually is.
I have another USB flashdrive that I may occasionally use as a readyboost when working with large spreadsheets, databases or projects. BTW so far, I'm not seeing a big performance boost from readyboost. My understanding of may be flawed; but, I think all it does is cache to the USB stick, which is faster than the hard drive.
I recently rebuilt most of my computer and upgraded to windows Vista and
now my computer won't detect my USB flash drives. I know the USB ports
are working because my mouse is USB and it works fine. I've tried
uninstalling the USB drivers and letting them reinstall but that didn't
work at all.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI hope to find a solution to this problem. I own a Vista Home Premium (32 bit) with SP1. I connected the Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder with USB to PC, turn on the camcorder in Play back mode, but Windows Vista remained silent - no detection of my camcorder. Sometime my Windows Vista just hung and FROZEN...I remove USB cable from Camcorder, Windows Vista is back to work normal. the Canon website and there it is -> the camcorder *IS* compatible with vista and doesn't need any driver. I called Canon technical Tech and he told me Yes, Canon Vixia HF10 is comptaible with Vista. I have also installed Windows XP SP3 on my laptop and tried on Windows XP, no problem there - the camcorder was detected immediately.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running Vista Home Premium, 6.0, SP1. I have a Lexmark 8350 that has been running fine. Today I decided to use the Photo Card reading capability on the Lexmark. I put an xD photo card in and the printer read it fine, allowed me to view and print photos from the printer LCD screen. However, when I try to "save to computer" I have problems. It brings up the interface window on the computer with the message "Cannot detect photo card inserted". Which is odd, since the card is definitely inserted with the photos being read by the printer.
View 4 Replies View Relatedi found recovery disks i made.
also thinking of just going back to the way it came from the factory.
Every time I inset a disc it is rejected as soon as i double click the icon. I have deleted the upper and lower filters on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. My discs are not read and they eject when I double click the icon. But it clearly doesn't read it and I also uninstalled some DVD writing programs, unless their still there?
View 5 Replies View RelatedThere is a recovery disk (a disk image) you can make yourself by using TrueImage or some other such program. Then there are recovery disks that come with a new computer. Which are you talking about?" I'd like to state to Mr. Urban emphatically that I've had Acronis for years. I've helped on their forums. Many people can't recover with the disc Acronis makes.
When I'm trying to fix a Microsoft Windows Operating System, in Vista or any build of Windows 7, I prefer to use the tools that Microsoft has made rather than Acronis. I'm going to be blunt here. Microsoft pays their engineers far more than Acronis will ever dream of paying theirs and there is a damn good reason. Microsoft's engineers have considerably more education, training, imagination, and competence than Acronis' personnel, and frankly Acronis backups (the .tibs) and their Recovery Disc often results in failure............................
I have searched the forums through and through, i have removed filters from the registry, rebooted, deleted the driver from device manager and let the system reinstall. When I put a disc in my drive, autoplay does not start or anything. I have checked the autoplay settings and they all seem to be correct. I can put a music CD in and go to Media Player and play the CD. but when I go to my computer and open the drive it doesn't show any files. this is not just for music cd's, it is dvd's, programs and everything. My drive is the Optiard AD-7653 (that is how it is listed in the device manager)

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am not clear on this issue. When I purchased my HP computer, I created "recovery discs" using the software shipped with HP. It took 30 minutes and used 3 DVD+R discs. I am not clear on if I am covered or if I need to get Imgburn or some other program and create an ISO image. What is the difference? I think I know the answer but want to make sure. Also, if you create an ISO image, does this include your theme, drivers, settings, ect. Recovery discs would take you back to when you opened the box and plugged the computer in. What is the difference for an ISO image?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI spent a bit of time having to re-install operating systems. With Vista,there are too many variations. What I would mind doing is having 1 DVD that can install any edition [or at least home basic, and home premium] and whether it's OEM or retail. Alternatively is to "convert" a retail DVD to an OEM DVD. I'm not worried about licensing because it's a reinstall and the user would have the license already. I know that with Windows 7, deleting 1 file does it all [per bit platform].

My OS is Vista Home Premium 32 bits. My cd/dvd drive is HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM LG GSA-H55N SCSI. I have one strange problem with my cd/dvd drive since a couple of days.
---My cd/dvd drive doesn't recognize Maxell CD-R discs and certain movie dvds and doesn't read any music cds (manufacturized albums). When I insert the disk, there's this message ''Insert the disk on Drive E:''. But it doesn't have any problems with other CD-R and DVD-R like Memorex and Sony. Last week, October 26, I played a DVD movies (like Broadway melody) without any problems. I tried to play it again today it gives me the ''insert the disc message''. Is it due to some Windows update? or anything?
I wondered if there is more - or + value to doing a restore prior to my sp1 download, I would like to make a recovery disc using brinks great tutorial. I only have my retail purchase computer created one time recovery discs.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am having a quirky issue with my DVD drive and hopefully someone will know where to start. It seems that the drive will read CDs (opening them in iTunes) and music DVDs (playing in Mplayer), but the system completely hangs and freezes when trying to load a data disc. Specifically, the system will continually try and open the DVD (spinning away) and cause serious lag to the computer. When trying to eject the DVD, it will then cause the computer to freeze and require a reboot.
The data discs that I'm using are all programs that I've previously loaded on my XP install, so I know the discs aren't corrupt. I'm also running a 32 bit version of Vista, so I'm not worried about 64 bit compatibility issues. The drive is a Lite-on (DH-20A4P) IDE based drive, set as Master on the cable. There are no other devices hooked to the IDE cable, and the cable is also brand new (came with motherboard). Here's the steps I've taken thus far to diagnose the problem -- with no fixes working.
- Downloaded and installed newest drivers for the DVD drive
- Flashed the DVD drive firmware with most current version
- Uninstalled then reinstalled DVD drive through Device Manager
- Disabled autorun feature
- Checked connections from drive to motherboard
The drive obviously is working properly since I'm able to play CDs and DVD movies/music. It might be worth noting that I used this same drive to install Vista, but perhaps the updates horked my drive? I'm thinking this is a Vista software issue, but can't think of anything else to try. I'm also hesitant to wipe and reinstall Vista for such a small issue.
I have a PC i am trying to format and reinstall windows vista. Unfortunately my mate has lost his original recovery dvd I made him and has now got a corrupted/damaged recovery partition. After all the searching I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this. I want to format the hard drive and start from fresh as he has major Virus problems. I tried searching old threads but couldnt find anything like what I needed, I hope I am not repaeting a thread already. If so please point me in right direction. If it helps its a Acer 6252 travelmate.
