Updated my HP Laptop to Windows 8 and now DVD driver will not work. Help!

I have a Hp Pavilion dv-7013cl Entertainment PC and everything was working perfectly. I updated to Windows 8 about a month ago and had some problems. I then did a clean install of Windows 8 and now all the bugs are fixed except my DVD drive will not work. 
I insert a DVD or CD and nothing happens. I go to My Computer and click on it and it just ejects the DVD. I don't know what to do and need my DVD drive.
Also, I tried to go to device manager and reinstall the driver but that didn't help.

    Something is wrong with your charger or cable.

  • Directx 11 and now Premiere CS5 will not work.

    I finally got my ATI 5770 working with Directx 11 and now Premiere CS5 will not work

    I just installed what I thought was Directx 11.  The latest file update I downloaded is only 9. dxwebsetup.exe from Microsofts web.
    I have a Dell XPS 8100.  I was on the phone with AMD/ATI, DELL, and XFX.  Dell said the card was an ATI, and AMD/ATI said that ATI now just makes the chips.  I tried Sapphire ATI 5770 and they didn't work, then I tried a program the took off all the drivers and I got the Dell drivers from the web, thinking that they are on OEM and with the DP Adapter, I finally got the 3rd ATI Eyefinity monitor to work. I tried Cuty of Duty and it worked for a couple of minutes.  I'm not into games, but I like the three monitors for learning software. One monitor is the video training and one is the software and the other is the Internet or an ebook.
    Now Premiere doesn't like anything. I tried going back to one monitor, and different resolutions. I had two monitors working at one time on this computer. I like the Time line monitor window on it's own monitor and the rest of Premiere on the left monitor.
    I was reading that Premiere likes 1280 x 900. That is not a mode on the ATI 1280 x 960 or 1280 x 1024.
    Could it be the latest Directx it installed or the fact the Display Port is in the card?

  • My granddaughter put the Start Up Disk in the drive inadvertently and now the drive will not eject it or start up using the HD.  I have tried all of the suggestions for opening it that appear in the manual.  Help?

    My granddaughter put the Start Up Disk in the drive inadvertently and now the drive will not eject it or start up using the HD.  I have tried all of the suggestions for opening it that appear in the manual.  Help?  It is her computer, a iMac G3 or G4 with superdrive, the one with the ball shaped base.   Thank you.

    It's a tray loading drive, there should be a little hole next to it, just large enough for a paper clip.  Stick the end of the paper clip in it and the tray should open.

  • I clicked all the buttons in the file sharing window and now my iMac will not turn on.

    I really goofed. I clicked all the buttons in the file sharing window (Screen sharing;File Sharing...Remote Login; Remote Management...Internet sharing) but I did not write down the IP address and now the computer will not turn on at all. Is there a way to roll back my stupidity and get this thing to turn on again?

    There's only one thing you can do: make an appointment with Apple genius at the Apple retail store for a out of warranty replacement.

  • I just purchased myself an iPad.  I set it up and now my messages will not work on it.

    I need help restoring my messages to my iPad.

    The title of your post says "now my messages will not work".
    The text of your post says "need help restoring my messages".
    Doesn't make sense.
    Is this an iMessage problem or Mail problem?

  • Just updated my iPhone 4S to ISO6 and now the phone will not pair with my car(Lexus ) is this an issue with the car firmware or iOS 6?

    Just updated my 4s to iSo 6 and now the phone does to pair with my Lexus anyone have/solve this issue? Is it a firmware problem with the car?

    Was it pairing before the iOS update?
    If so, delete the pairings in the device and the car, then try again.
    If it was not, the issue is most likely the car.

    Hi Deb,
    Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go.  You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
    Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

    I hope this helps!

  • Used Bootcamp to install Windows 7. Now, my macbook pro 13 mid 2009 will not boot back into OSX, there is no Bootcamp utilities like there should be anywhere to be found, and the DVD drive will not recognize the OSX install disk that came with my laptop.

    Basically all in the title. Also, some additional info: partition was 115 GBs for Windows, 385 or whatever for OSX (I have a 500 GB Harddrive), I have tried restarting multiple times, and the drive will recognize the DVD, but almost as if the DVD is blank, as it asks me to format it or drag files to it, etc.

    Hold your "Option" key down while starting your machine.  Continue to hold it down until you are presented with the boot menu which should allow you to select either OS X or Windows (provided you didn't somehow wipe your OS X partition).  When you get into OS X, you can go to System Preferences / Startup Disk.  Here you can select the default startup partition (OS X or Windows)... when you're installing Windows via BootCamp, it gets changed to Windows so when you finish setting up BootCamp, it automatically reboots and launches the Windows installer.  Installing all of the Windows drivers from the OS X DVD should provide you with a Startup Disk option under Windows as well.

  • I was doing the update of ios8 on my 4S and now my phone is not working

    I Was updating for IOS8 on my iPhone 4S and now my phone is stock in connect to iTunes I connected but is not doing anything. I try to rebooted but nothing is working. What should I do?

    I have the same problem. Updated an iPhone 4s to IOS8 but got an unknown error which advised me to enter Recovery mode. That worked OK and the phone is now recognized by iTunes. I restored the iPhone but it will not download my 3rd party apps. Gets stuck in sync after downloading one app. Nothing happens after that. Sync cannot be cancelled except by disconnecting the iPhone. Reconnecting the phone downloads one more app, etc.
    Also my music library is missing on the iPhone. Playlists are there but there is an iCloud download icon next to every song. I did not turn on "iCloud Drive". ITunes is not downloading my music during sync, just the titles and artists and playlists.
    Ideas?

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.

  • Updated to iso7 and now credit card will not work with itunes account. What is going on?

    When I updated to iso7 my credit card information for my iTunes account is no longer valid. Tried to update my credit card information and it will not allow my current and valid credit card to be used and will not accept any of my other valid credit cards to be used.
