Hi,
If you have upgraded to Windows 7 then it is happening due to driver problem as Compaq Presario F750US is not in the upgradable list.
To solve the problem you can initiate the windows update process and make sure all updates are uinstalled. Windows update may find the correct drivers and fix the problem.
If this doesnt work then i would recommend to perform a clean windows 7 upgrade again by following the steps in the link below. It'll help you to upgrade sequentially and may fix the issue.
Upgrading to Windows 7
Finding Software and Drivers After Changing the Operating System to Windows 7
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

  • I have a G4 and Apple dvd player cannot find software it needs

    i have a G4 with 10.5 I am getting a Apple dvd player cannot find software it needs, how do i reinstall it thanks

    I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

  • Boot from DVD but cannot find hard drive now

    just updated to 10.7.3, then cannot boot from hard drive. I boot from DVD and cannot find hard drive now

    Did the 10.7.3 update complete the installation process?
    Some updates, when being installed and applied can restart (but not fully start up) the machine a couple of times.
    I'd restart your machine and give it a few uninterrupted minutes to see if it boots up normally. Depending on the specs of your iMac, the remapping of app shortcuts etc can take a little while to complete (but not an excessive amount of time).
    It is unlikely the update caused your hard drive to fail.
    If your iMac doesn't boot up, restart and boot into the recovery partition of Lion by holding down both the cmd & R keys while booting. This will run Lion Recovery which will allow you to repair your Hard Drive, reinstall or install a fresh copy of Lion (network access is required).
    If this fails, boot from the recovery DVD and launch Disk Utility from the Tools option in the toolbar and see if your hard drive is listed in Disk Utility. If your hard drive is not listed, there is a hard drive problem and you'll need to speak to Apple Tech Support to arrange a repair.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I put an iMovie project on DVD?  Cannot find iDVD...

    I'm new to Mac.  I created a project in iMovie.  When I tried to share it to iDVD, it says cannot find iDVD.  How do I write a movie project to DVD?

    It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
    You might try the approach that Ziatron gives in his post in this  topic to obtain a free copy: New Macbook Pro w/iLife - No iDVD: Apple Support Communities. If you're unsuccessful you can purchase the iLife disk from the link above.

  • OSX V10.3.9 DVD Player cannot be opened

    My IMac CRT has a slot load CD-RW. I recently got a Pikaone firewire DVD+-RW dual drive. I would like to watch DVD's on my iMac with it. I have checked in Applications and I have DVD Player 3.2 installed but when I try and open DVD Player I get an error message "The item cannot be opened. It may be disabled or not installed." I have run Disk Utility to verify and repair permissions. I have tried using Pacifist to open the DVD Package but I get the message "Unknown error occured while processing the file DVD Player" . I have loaded my Panther discs and used Pacifist to try and install DVD Player again (with my firewire DVd plugged in in case the DVd Player needs to see a DVD drive when installing) but Pacifist tells me it doesn't need to install DVD Player as it already exists. What can I do next. My Panther discs are upgrade only, my OS X full install is Jaguar. (I tried using Jaguar with Pacifist but got same result - DVD player already exists.) Thanks

    **** There,
    That's what I originally thought but apparently if you have a firewire DVD player it should work. I have just viewed a post on the iMac CRT forum where the user had the same problem as me but using Pacifist to extract and install DVD Player fixed the problem. I have tried this. When I 'get info' about my DVD player application (as installed) it says " Owner name root" "Group name admin" "Permissions drwxvwxv-x". Does this give anyone any clues?

  • After burning DVD, DVD player cannot play main menu

    Hi all,
    I created a project with a main menu with several links to submenus in Encore. When i take a preview it all looks great. However after burning the DVD, the DVD reader is unable to lanch the CD to it's master main menu (set as first play) and after a long time searching, it starts one of the submenus. There i have a link back to the main menu, but it doesn't seem to work.
    I tried this on several DVD players but all has the same problem. I also create a DVD folder on HD, there it works.
    I'm pretty sure my DVD burner works fine. Could it be that Encore is using too heavy compression (the avi file is 29Gig and fits on 1 DVD) that can not be use for let's say cheaper version of DVD players? (2 years old).
    If not, any other idea where the problem could be ??
    Tx

    Hi Harm,
    you were absolutely right. I was either suspecting the large avi file to be to heavily compressed or my dvd burner but NO...i just bought some TDK 16 DVD-R and the whole thing was solved. Saves me a lot of trouble, no new DVD-R, no new software.... tx mate :)
    ps do you know any gud site where i can found some good audio samples which can be used for DVD menus?

  • Cannot find camera in Adobe Flash Player

    Adobe Flash Player cannot find my camera so I am unable to play and vie video's correctly.   It starts slowly and then stops and starts and take so long and I end up turning the video off.   Unseen.   I have deleted Adobe and re downloaded it.   Nothing seem to work.   I need to be able to view my videos on a regular basis as I watch my dogs racing on video.

    Very strange. It appears that someone your copy of Muse half updated. Please delete your copy of Muse and re-install using the appropriate link below. (Do you recall any errors during the original update process?)

  • Windows Movie Maker won't play on DVD player

    I have the OS7 now
    The instruction say that a burned MASTER disc will play on DVD players and most computers???
     I have used Mp4 and WMV formats with Windows Movie Maker, but none will play on DVD players but play well on computers???
    I had formally use the Windows DVD Maker and the final file was UBF which seemed to work on all players and computers. My DVD Maker will not allow completion of Movie, it  notes, " I need the proper codes to make it work"??
    I have looked on the Microsoft site for these support codes but cannot find them??? Windows Movie worked well on my Vista OS. What has MS done to screw up this software???
    WGC_BAC

    You need to read the owner's manual for your DVD player to find out exactly what video formats it will play.  Then you must ensure you record your video to DVD in a format that is recognized by your DVD player.  The Windows 7 Windows Movie Maker
    may have a different default video format output that what you were using in Vista.  You have the option to specify the format of the video you record to DVD.

  • DVD-player does not work

    5 days ago I did a clean installation of Mountain Lion on my ca 4 years old MaBook Pro and after that I can not see the dvd-player in Finder. That's not like it is hidden but the problem is that the dvd-player is powered off by the OS. This information I could get thirough "system report" where it says:
    HL-DT-ST DVDRW  GS23N:

      Async Notification:          No
    As you see the power to dvd-player (HL-DT-ST DVDRW  GS23N) is shut off (underlined). I have tried to find information in order to fix the problem but I have not been successful. The system I use has the features highligthed below:

  • Copying/burning a dvd, won't play in a dvd player

    Before my disk drive was replaced I could take a dvd, copy it and burn it to a disc (i.e., make a copy for myself), ad it would pla in my dvd player
    Since then when I make a copy of something and burn it, it won;t play in ant DVD player. Will play onthe computer though
    What settings do I need to change?

    Musicwind is right, there's no way to do what you describe without third-party tools. A commercial DVD, like what you'd be using in a DVD player, cannot be copied using the Finder or Disk Utility, due to copy protection issues. Are you using something like Handbrake to rip the DVD, or is this not a commercial DVD that you're copying?

  • Apple DVD Player will not launch

    I have a B/W G3 Tower/Desktop as well as a G3 PowerBook (black laptop). Both run OS 9.2.2, QT 5.0.2, and Apple DVD Player v1.2.
    When I try to launch the DVD Player on the tower, I receive the following on a pop-up window:
    "Apple DVD Player cannot open because it cannot find the required hardware. Try reinstalling Apple DVD Player. (204)"
    The following pops up when I try to launch the DVD Player on the G3 PowerBook laptop:
    "Apple DVD Player cannot open because the required hardware was not found. If you have another application open that uses sound or video, quit that application and open Apple DVD Player again. If you are using a PowerBook that requires a DVD-Video PC Card, make sure the PC card is properly installed in the appropriate slot. (21)"
    Both used to work but for some reason have abruptly stopped. I'm going crazy trying to figure it out. Speech is turned off and I don't have any other video or DVD apps open.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    you may need to reinstall your operating system because it sounds like you dvd rom driver is damaged but there is a way around this to
    go to google and search for a program called patch burn this application will reinstall a fress driver for your cd dvd rom drive but unknown if this will even work because if the file is currupted you may end up locking out the cd drive driver and your cd drive will stop working in os x and you will need to reinstall the operating system
    but try patch burn first

  • Imovie creating DVD to read on my DVD player

    I create a movie using imovie and exporter the movie on a DVD.  However my DVD player cannot read the DVD.  What do have to do to be able to correct this situation thank you

    Hi
    A. How did You do - the Movie to DVD process ?
    B. Do You have iDVD or Toast™ or any DVD-Authoring program.
    - DeskTop save to DVD = Data-DVD (can not be played on any Video-DVD-player
    - to make an Video-DVD You need a DVD authoring program
    C. If You used iDVD then
    - Brand of DVD used ? Important - Memorex, and othe cheap brands usually DO NOT work
    # I only use Verbatim (more organic dye in them)
    - Type of DVD
    # DVD+/-RW usually do not work
    # DVD-R plays on more and even older DVD-players
    # DL-DVD usually more problematic than SL-DVD
    - BURN SPEED
    # Best is NOT BEST
    # I only use x2 or x4 Max
    - Video Codec, Audio file format and Photo file format used - MATTERS
    Yours Bengt W

  • My DVP-FX980 (portable DVD player) will rarely load a DVD

    This happened gradually but for months now it has rarely loaded anything. It tries then says it cannot load the disc. For months it loaded some but not others so I thought the discs were at fault since many of them were from the library. But as the problem increased I tried the discs on my laptop and they always worked fine. I expected better from a Sony product. Does anyone have a remedy?
    thanks

    You may follow this link if the DVD player cannot read or play the inserted disc.

  • DVD Player can't read files burned in Finder

    Hello all,
    I had an avi file that I converted to play as a DVD using ffmpegx. I burned it to a DVD-R in the Finder, ejected it, popped it back in and the DVD player says "supported disc not available." It plays fine in one of my DVD players (curiously, the older one) but not the other. I burned the exact same files using Toast, and the MBP DVD Player reads it just fine. It also plays on just the older DVD player.
    DVD player will also not play the TS_VIDEO file straight off the computer, only after it is burned to a DVD-R using Toast. What is going on here?
    I am just trying to find a format that will work in any reasonably new computer or player I put it in, so I can mail them out to people and not have them complain they don't work. But it doesn't even play on the brand new computer that made it. How lame is that?
    MBP 2.16 Core 2 Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I went to a very well respect technology chain of stores in England called "Maplin" to inquire about these brush cleaners.  In fact I went to two different locations to double check.  They told that there are problems with Macs where the little brushes break off and get stuck inside the machine.
    So I took my IMac to the Apple store.   Decided there was no choice but to replace the drive.  I am very disappointed.  They drive runs as loud as a hair dryer (I exaggerate a litte), which I cannot believe is correct.  My computer is 4 years and my old drive was quiet as a mouse.  Looks like I will be dragging my computer back to the store.  Very disappointmented in Apple's service here.
    (Also, they kept the DVD that I had in the disc when I arrived).
