CD-ROM and S-video not detected

My laptop (a Toshiba Satellite P205 - about 3 years old) started having problems.  If I activated, for example, my email program, it would start but for 5 minutes or longer it would be unresponsive. The title bar said "not responding" and nothing would happen for 5 minutes.  If I did nothing it would finally start working. So, yesterday, I got out the reinstallation disks and reinstalled Windows Vista (32 bit). This reformatted the hard drive but I had backed up my important files.  Anyway, it ran much better and I was able to use the CD-ROM to reinstall some programs and document files I lost when I reformatted.  BUT later, when I turned the machine on again, the computer didn't recognize that it has a DVD/CD-ROM drive or an S-video.  I checked it by going to "Computer" where I used to be able to see all the files by drives.  It detected my second hard drive (connected by USB) and the Flashdrive but not the DVD/CD-ROM drive or the S-video connection. It also detects my USB devices (printer, mouse, etc) .
This morning, I went through "Device Manager" and checked the driver for the DVD drive. I got this message under "General":
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
What is Code 39?
I would reformat again but, obviously, if I don't have access to the DVD/CD-ROM, I can't.
If anyone can help me, please email me at [email protected]
Thank you all very much.

I'm having the same problem as you. I posted another thread before finding this one. I can't seem to get any replies either.
I don't know if we're the only ones having this issue or if no one else is trying to use S-video or what. I really wish I could get mine fixed. I tried the xf86-video-ati-git from AUR but it didn't help.
The only difference with my problem is that xrandr also shows a DVI-0 at the bottom. I don't even have a DVI-0. I have a VGA-0 like you do. I wonder if xrandr is detecting the S-video as DVI for some reason? Though I've tried setting up DVI-0 as I would S-video but that doesn't work.
Have you solved this by any chance? If so I'd be interested to know how. Thanks and good luck.

  • Windows 8 and itunes can not detect itouch

    I have windows 8 and itunes will not detect my itouch?   Any tips?

    Chris CA, I am having the same problem. I actually just purchased a brand new laptop (w/ Windows 8 already installed) and had to download itunes latest version (ver. 11) and am having the same problems. As my itunes seems compatible with my Windows 8, my itouch device can not be recognized by itunes or in the "my computer" folder.
    perhaps this more of a windows 8 issue and not an itunes issue?
    PS, i have OS4 on my itouch, could this be a problem as well?
    Thanks!

  • Strange issue - XI somtimes process a file and sometimes its not detected

    Dear friends,
    We have a strange problem. I’ll describe the situation:
    We have a simple file to file scenario without any mapping or File Content Conversion. Daily a sender system puts a ZIP file on a server and XI processes this file.
    The strange thing is that XI sometimes processes this file and sometimes its not detected at all. After our analysis we come to conclusion that its not random.
    We have looked at almost everything. We have checked the:
    File name;
    Size of the messages.
    Authorisation;
    Users that are assigned to the processing job.
    Has anyone experienced the same problem or does anyone has a suggestion?
    Helpful points will be rewarded,
    Kind regards,
    Kamran

    Hi Mickael,
    There are no stupid questions, there are only stupid answers. So I hope my answers are not stupid
    1. what is your Polling Interval of your Sender Agreement ? Once a day ? every 60s ? etc...
    because you say that your Legacy put the file Daily.
    Answer: The polling Interval is 400 seconds and Modification Check is 400000 Msecs
    2. Are you sure that your Legacy does not put the file after or during the XI adapter try to catch it?
    Answer: No Because Modification Check works perfectly and we get alerts if the file is modify during the process.
    3. Does your filename is always the same ?
    4. or Have you a filename which can changed and which is case sensitve (lowercase and uppercase).
    Answer: It has always the same name and It starts with O2C.zip
    5. What are the size of your failed file?
    Maybe it's too big and maybe you have a timeout somewhere (for instance into the adapter log)
    Answer: It's not too big, it varies from 20 MB to 100 MB and we know that we can process files up to 700 MB
    As I told before we have checked everything. Its very strange...
    Do you have any other suggestion?
    Regards,
    Kamran

  • ITunes had an error while trying to update my iPhone 6+ and now the phone is bricked (and iTunes is not detecting it)

    So I tried Installing iOS 8.3 onto my iPhone 6+, updated iTunes to the latest version, 12.1.2, downloaded the update for the phone, connected my phone - it detected fine like it always does. When I tried installing, it went to about halfway or so and then iTunes said there was a problem updating the phone.
    The phone icon disappeared from iTunes and when I checked the phone it was giving the blank screen. I tried turning it off and on again... It showed the apple logo, and then the connect to itunes icon, but iTunes is not detecting it.
    Even if I take it out and put it back in again, even with the hard reset holding the home and power buttons. I'm running Windows 8.1. So far I've tried the hard reset, cleaning the connector pins, switching to a a different USB port, reinstalling iTunes, checking to see if the Apple Mobile Device software is up to date, even using a previous restore point in windows.
    The device makes a noise when it gets plugged in, indicating that it's being detected by the computer, but iTunes... nothing. And my phone is stuck on showing the connect to iTunes picture and it's bricked and unusable and I'm wondering why I even bothered with this stupid update.

    Most of the recent updates showed the connect to iTunes screen for a short time. But if the update was done with the iOS device connected to the computer running iTunes, the Connect to iTunes screen appeared only briefly then the update completed. If your iPhone didn't complete the update you will have to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode. Follow the steps very carefully in the link below. You might have to try several times to get your phone into Recovery Mode.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Have literally tried everything and iTunes will not detect iPhone

    Just bought a new macbook and am having some serious issues with iTunes.... My iPhone was detected the first time i plugged it in, but now it will not detect it. As soon as i plug my phone in, iPhoto pops up but iTunes does not. When i open iTunes, my phone does not show up. I have done all the troubleshooting, restarted both phone and laptop, re-installed iTunes (when i did this, it worked again for one time, then when removed and re-connected it failed to detect it again)
    Everytime i plug it in it charges, but iTunes will not find my phone. someone please either help me or shoot me because its driving me INSANE!!!!!!! i followed every step that apple says to do and have also looked at other peoples answers and nothing is fixing this!!!
    thanks in advance

  • Websites not loading correctly and flash videos not playing

    When I visit sites like '''ign.com''' and '''joystiq.com''', they do not display correctly and Flash videos never load.

  • HT1212 I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."

    I have forgotten my passcode for ipad and itunes is asking passcode to be entered - even after following directions for computers not synced... multiple times, but iTunes is not "detecting a device in recovery mode."  What do I do now?

    DFU Restore
    This will very likley result in loss of data.
    Plug the iPhone into the computer.
    Ensure that it is running the latest version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
    Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
    Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
    Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
    The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode. . .(etc)"  Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
    If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions.  If you've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

  • Macbook Air (and Ipad) do not detect Airplay devices

    I am literally going crazy already with this issue.
    I have  a Macbook Air OSX Version 10.9.2, an iPad 2 and the latest Apple tv. Airplay used to work but a few months ago it just stopped working.
    We bought a brand new router, all devices are connected to the same network and for some reason my macbook does not detect an airplay device.
    I have searched through every single forum on the web and have tried everything - restarting router, apple tv, computer, iPad. Turning airplay on and off. I am running all devices with the latest updates (including our router).  But there is no fix! Neither my macbook nor my iPad detect the apple tv to airplay.
    Please somebody help!

    See this page about the reccomended networking settings for AirPlay. It is most likely due to your router.
    I hope I helped.

  • Installed new hard drive, and it is not detected by disk utility.

    Tried 2 other hard drives with same result. Original hard drive (failing) is detected normally. Mountain Lion can install and boot if hard drive is in external enclosure. But once hard drive is installed into MacBook Pro, the system does not detect it. It has been formatted as a GUID partition, and the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system. I'm at a loss as to why this isn't working. I've tried everything I can think of.

    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When the formatting is completed quit DU to return to the installer. You may now install OS X.
