Can't Open Any Type Of Cd In Windows 7. 3 Different Dvdrw's Connected

Apr 24, 2011

I am trying to load battlefield bad company 2, sims, dvd's, and cd's on my computer, but when I go to My Computer and double click the dvdrw's, windows says it needs to format the disk.

if I press format, it has an error, if I dont, it also has an error.

I have installed 3 dvdrws that I have tested and had working in another computer, and the same goes for each one.

When I insert a disk, the mouse cursor shows the little CD right by it, but nothing happens after it blinks a few times.

Bios recognizes each dvdrw drive, they will boot windows 7 disk before loading windows even, disk management shows each one is working good.

I got one dvd to read through a third party program called dvd decrypter. I didn't go as far as to see if it would copy to the hdd, but it showed all the files.

I used another third party software to analyze the sims2 disk to see if it could copy (i didnt have the full version so I couldnt copy it onto the hdd) but it did show the files as well.

I cannot see any music disks, cdrws disks, dvd's, etc in itunes or windows media player.

DVDRW Drive Doesnot Always Open

Aug 18, 2011

sometimes if I hit the button to eject the drive, it acts like its about to eject but doesn't, and if I try again the same result occurs. If I hit it two or three times it will eject but it doesnt always at the first push of the button.

Set A Certain File Type To Open With Certain Program

Mar 6, 2012

I used to be able to open replays of a certain game (Warcraft 3) just by simply double clicking on them. I reinstalled Windows 7 2weeks ago, along with the game. Now when I double click them, it doesnt know what program to use --> I go through the standard "open with" and find my war3.exe. Now when I go to double click the replay file, it openes warcraft3 not the replay itself (like it used to, and like how I want it).

Ive done alot of digging around and trying to find how to fix it, but Im still unable to fix this. What I've found out that I basically need the replay files (.w3g) to open in E:Program filesWarcraft IIIwar3.exe -loadfile "%1"
The problem is, that with windows7 I am unable to find the place where I can insert this, all I was able to find was ways for XP/Vista but they are different from Windows 7.

Shortcuts Refuse To Open Can't Type

Dec 31, 2010

I have windows 7. I'm getting odd behaviour from my machine. I can only type in search boxes intermittently, other times when I press a letter the shortcut droplist comes on---"F" is find and so on. Only light on my keyboard is Num Lock, so I don't think it's a keyboard issue.When I left click shortcut to open IE(or any program), I get the, "do you want this program to make changes..." message, or I get the shortcut properties box, and if I move a shortcut, it makes a copy---"Computer 2."

Open-type Fonts Not Displaying?

Jan 21, 2011

I have had this dell pc for a year. I had a ton of opentype fonts installed on here as I am a graphic designer. All of a sudden I notice none of my OTF files are in my photoshop list..I checked the windows/fonts folder and not there either. I try installing new OTF files and it says "not a valid font file" Here is the kicker..I converted my OTF files to Truetype and when I install them windows says its already installed, but you look at the list and nothing there. I have tried everything, read all the forums..here is what I have done I am logged on as admin. I removed my kids account so there is only one account (admin account)I updated my graphics card (read that can be an issue)I have changed the UAC to never notify When I click on the font properties there is NO box that says unblock (read that on this site)I sent the file to a friend, they installed fine, so its not a corrupt file.

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
Dell Inspiron 560s

Lite-On DVDRW SOHW-1693S

Feb 15, 2009

I just recently installed 7 64bit over my Vista 64 bit (ultimate) and everything is great so far, except neither of my optical drives are available.

Lite-On DVDRW SOHW-1693S
MSI CD-RW CR52

I initially got an error on both drives for "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. (code 52)"

Both listed the cdrom.sys driver but also the unsigned file GEARAspiWDM.sys in the windowssystem32 directory.

I figured I'd rename the GEAR file and uninstall/reinstall the drivers for the optical drives, but it just tells me that it loaded cdrom.sys but can't load any device driver for the hardware.

Device manager shows them with yellow caution tales and lists both reasons as "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing (code 39)

On the driver details tab both show C:windowssystem32cdrom.sys as the driver and it shows it as signed.

Way Of Doing Type Of Incremental Backup In Windows 7 64-bit?

Jul 31, 2010

I would like to perform "Incremental Backups" rather than backing up all my files every time I run Backup. Just backup the files I changed and new files and folders that I added.I have heard of Acronis, but have no experience using it. I am not planning on buying new software in order to achieve my objectives.Is there a way of doing this type of incremental backup in Windows 7 64-bit? Here are my drives stats:

-C: 750 GB (overkill, but I had this) Contains the OS (Win 7 64-bit) and some other programs.
-R: Two 1 TB each - All my data files, photos, music, videos, etc, are this drive which is RAID1 (mirroring).
-Z: 1.5 TB single external drive - Dedicated Backup drive - data backup as well as disk image of C:
