DVD ROM not working with Windows 8.1...I need the driver please.

My CD/DVD/BluRay Drive is not working since I upgraded my laptop to Windows 8.1.  I really need the driver as soon as possible.  I really need the DVD/CD Drive to work.  I spent so much money getting this laptop to where it needs to be.  I bought new hard drives and everything.  Please tell me that you are going to provide a driver for Windows 8.1.

Hi @biokimyaci
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see that you are looking for a driver for your CD/DVD or optical drive. There are no specific drivers for the optical drive they are generic Windows drivers that come as part of the operating system. Go to your Device Manager and under DVD/CD-Rom drives right click what you have there and select Uninstall. They restart your computer and Windows will automatically install the driver. What is the product number for your notebook?

  • Dvd@ccess not working with windows (windows media pleyer)

    i have build my dvd using the dvd@ccess works fine only on mac
    not working on window even after installing the dvd@ccess
    is there a way for it to work?

    Years ago when DVDs first hit the market, everyone was trying to put weblinks on their DVD. The problem was that no one had a seemless system that worked on all computers (there are alternatives to dvd@ccess). No matter what anyone did there were ALWAYS customers who complained, "It doesn't work." So as a result it is now almost impossible to find any new DVD releases that use weblinks.
    The best advice is to not have any weblinks on your DVD. No matter what you do, there will always be someone out there who will complain, "It doesn't work."

  • Ideapad U110 - External DVD Player not working with Windows 7

    I did a windows 7 upgrade on my U110 and now the external DVD drive will not function. The computer recognizes that a DVD driver is plugged in (in an explorer folder) but Windows 7 doesn't register the DVD when I plug it in and the computer cannot read the DVDs. It seems to be trying as there is noise emanating from the DVD drive and the light is blinking but no end result.
    I've search high and low for a solution but non seem to exist. Lenovo support has no driver replacement. Their rep suggested reinstalling the Intel chipset for Vista which I've done and that didn't fix anything. Is there a solution out there? Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    Oh and my internal microphone doesn't work either. I assume a related issue.
    Many thanks for any help.

    Here's one out of nowhere:  do you have CD/DVD software that includes Sonic DLA or something like it?  I've seen that take over drives and prevent normal operation.
    If you right click on the drive and hit properties, are there any suspicious looking tabs?
    Total WAG, and about 1% likely, but there you go.

  • Itunes not working with windows 7 in a network environment. Please help

    Hello,
    We are a Novell site and have a mixed group of computers on site. Everything from Linux, to Mac, to Windows, XP and 7 both Pro. We have the network set up that when a user logs in their "my documents folder" is redirected to a network drive. We have had no issues with this in Windows XP pro. However on Windows 7 Pro we can net get this to work. Here are the steps
    Log in as local admin with is default so mapping or anything special.
    Next we log in as our self which brings up the network mapping
    We install the program
    Then what is supposed to happen is when ever someone logs into that machine they have access to all programs and everything automatically saves to their network drive. However this is not happening. If you sign in as local admin it all works fine but as soon as you add the network portion we receive an error stating that itunes could not start due to insufficient rights.
    Can someone please help me with this.

    Your server is Novell? Try running the machine in Virtual XP mode.

    Hi,
    You can download the latest official Firefox here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    You may also have to install [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7u9-downloads-1859586.html Java] (choose either Windows x86 Offline or Windows x86 Online), and [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Flash] (choose the Firefox version and also deselect extras).
    For the Firefox metro version, please see [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Windows_8_Integration#Elm_Nightly_Builds this]. You can install and use it along with the other version.

  • ActiveX control is not working with windows NT

    I've have a stand alone application which uses an activeX control.  The application was compiled using Labview 7.1 on a Windows XP machine.  The application will run without any problems on Windows XP and Windows 2000, however the activeX control will not work with Windows NT 4.0.  The activeX control is registered, and I have also compiled the application on a Windows NT 4.0 machine.  I do not receive any error messages, the application will start but will not communicate with the activeX control.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  

    Hello,
    Have you tired running the VI by itself (not exe) on the NT machine? Make sure you are doing adequate error checking in your code. It could be possible that the application is generating an error which in not handled appropriately. Also which service pack do you have installed on the NT machine? Please look at the release notes for LabVIEW 7.1 here.

  • Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

    brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
    To install them, follow these steps:
    1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
    2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
    3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
    4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers

  • ITunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows - Fix??

    Hi everyone,
    I had issue after issue with the latest iTunes update (12.1.1) not working on my windows 7. It simply would not lunch when clicking on the shortcut to open.
    After a fair bit of searching I found this alternative version which seemed to do the trick and now it works:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - iTunes64Setup.exe(2015-02-18)

    The "for older video cards" installer - which, like most prior "64 bit" versions of iTunes, is actually a 32 bit application with a 64 bit installer - may be a useful fallback if the full 64 bit version does not install or run correctly.  Although 12.1.1.4 is a major improvement over 12.1.0.71, there are clearly still some lurking incompatibilities with some 64 bit Windows systems/components.  It is, however, a little misleading to say that "iTunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows" - in many cases it works fine without switching to the alternative version.  I have the full 64-bit version of 12.1.1.4 running on three systems - two Windows 7 and one Windows 8.1 - no issues with either installation or operation on any of them.

  • Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

    Question
    better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
    Details

    As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
    Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
    In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
    C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
    Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
    Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
    If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
    If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
    Any luck?

  • HP B500 Wireless Bluethooth Adapter for HP Printer Not Working With Windows 8.1

    I have been using the HP BT500 bluetooth Wireless adapter to print wirelessly to my HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer.  I have been using Windows Vista, but recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.  I learned after the upgrade that the HP B500 wireless bluetooth adapter is not compatable with Windows 8.1.  I have attempted to find a driver upgrade for the B500, but there does not appear to be one available.  I have also searched the HP site and other sites in an attempt to locate an alter wireless blotth adapter to replace the B500, but have again been unable to locate one. 
    Is there a wireless bluetooth apter that will allow me to print wirelessly to my HP Office Pro 8500 from my laptop?

    Hi @Raider83,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP B500 wireless bluetooth adapter for your HP Officejet 8500 is not working with Windows 8.1. I am sorry to hear this but happy to look into this for you!
    I am not sure if you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit Operating System. But sometimes with Windows 8.1 you can use compatibility mode to install an older version of the driver. Which might help the situation. Here is a link to some other Windows drivers, HP bt500 Bluetooth USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter Drivers.
    Once you got a driver downloaded, follow this guide, Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows, on how to install it using compatibility mode.  It is not guaranteed to work, but it is worth a try!
    If you still need me to look for other bluetooth adapters, please respond with your printer's Product/Model Number. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number. As there are multiple HP Officejet 8500 printers.

    If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
    1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
    2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.
