HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

My DVD drive not reading DVDs, but can read some DVDs with data on it. Device manager shows no error

My DVD drive not reading DVDs, but can read some DVDs with data on it. Device manager shows no errors.
I tried to reinstall driver.
I downloaded new codec
I tried Microsoft FIX IT
Nothing worked.
Need some help.
Thank you!!

Hi Albos, This is a known problem. These superdrives die after a while. See the various threads on this site and the internet. I have the same problem with my Imac 20" 2.16 ghz. Just wants to burn and read cd's. Its has to do with the laser. For DVD an CD are two different laser and the one for DVD's has probably died in yours (as it did in mine). I bought an external LG burner and problem solved. (And a lot cheaper than replacing the superdrive)
Hope this helps you.

Lenovo S410p accidentally deleted NVIDIA Driver from device manager

Hello,
I "accidentally" uninstalled my NVIDIA GeForce 720M driver from my device manager when I tried to reinstall the driver. Now it no longer shows up on the device manager at all, and I cannot install any driver since the laptop does not detect it anymore.
I am running Windows 8.1 64bit on a Lenovo ideapad s410p laptop. The only graphics driver detected is the intel one. And since I'm using a laptop, re-plugging in the graphics card is not really a feasible option either...
System restore does not work (The oldest backup, somehow, is AFTER the uninstallation), and I really do not want to resort to factory reset... And of course, before the uninstallation, the driver worked just fine.
Is there any way I can force the laptop to detect the GPU again? I am pretty sure the hardware is working fine, just undetected
Please help, I have no idea what else to do at this point. Thank you in advance..
Solved!

hi Votbear,
Welcome to lenovo Community Forums!
Can you check under Drive D: if you still have the drivers folder back up
Try looking for the Video Graphics driver installer and install that.
In case you can't find the driver folder or the system does not have a D: drive
Try downloading the driver here, see if those work
NVIDIA VGA Driver for 32-bit Windows
NVIDIA VGA Driver for 64-bit Windows

Windows Device Manager shows several driver problems

I have the latest EFI Firmware update and Boot Camp 1.1.1. Windows XP Pro SP2 shows problems in the Device Manager.
(1) What's the USB Human Interface problem? I have no funny USB devices connected.
(2) What's with the yellow question mark at Base System Device?
(3) I have four PCI Express ports flagged with problems.
I'm guessing that the Boot Camp Driver CD has omitted to provide for these devices. I am surmising that many others who have the Mac Pro also see these problems.
Is there any way of dealing with these and fixing the problems? Like, can I download the required drivers from Intel? I have already downloaded and installed INF Update Utility [INFINST_AUTO.EXE] version 2.11.15.0. This was no help in resolving the problem.

I too have had issue with Bluetooth keyboard, specifically the Apple keyboard. It seems to be running ok at the moment but it took me a while for it to pair properly. I still have no idea as to what I did differently that made it work. I think it was pairing them without a code.
Fortunately for me I use Parallels mostly as it's far more convenient so I'm not too bothered about Boot Camp driver support at this moment. When it comes time to play some games though that'll probably change.
The thing with Boot Camp is to be a little patient. Yes we'd like Apple to have sorted everything out a month ago although the software is still in beta form and does not need to be finalised until the realese of Leopard. Hopefully they will get things together sooner rather than later given the clock is ticking.

[Athlon64] Device Manager shows "Other devices: ?(!) RAID Controller"

(This was previously posted to the Operating Systems forum, when I realized it's not really a Windows problem)
In my Windows XP Device Manager, under Other devices, I see ?(!) RAID Controller.
I don't have a RAID controller, and my Serial ATA hard drives are connected to the SATA VIA ports. I've been told that this can be toggled in the BIOS. Now, this started happening after I flashed to BIOS 2.0, and the BIOS isn't exactly straight forward to me. Therefore, I'm having trouble finding that option.
Has anybody had a simliar problem? Any ideas?

=== PROBLEM RESOLVED ===
The two BIOS Default options I have are "Load High Performance Options" and "Load BIOS Setup Options". I chose "High Performance". It was somewhat a two-part procedure.
I entered the BIOS Options, and then Boot Sequence. The available options were: Floppy, CD, or BBS(0) RealTek Boot Agent, but not the Serial ATA hard drives. So I set the Sequence as 1) Floppy, 2) CD, 3) N/A, and 4) Check for other devices: Yes.
I rebooted, and it located the Serial ATA drives and proceeded to the RealTek Boot Agent anyway. I bypassed the Agent by pushing ESC. I entered Windows XP to find that, under Device Manager's SCSI & RAID Controllers, I had one entry: VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller, and no other entries. As of now, Device Manager lists a perfect hardware record.
Now to correct the Boot Sequence. I restarted and re-entered BIOS. I entered Boot Sequence again to find that my Serial ATA drives are now selectable. I changed the Sequence to 1) Floppy, 2) CD, 3) BBS(0) SATA Maxtor, and 4) Check for other devices: No.
Now my system bootup behaves as it should. No lengthy IDE device check and no RealTek boot agent check. Windows XP is also in check! :-)
This was kind of tricky. This doesn't appear to me to be a widespread problem, but I think we oughta put this in a sticky or something. I wanted to say thanks to everybody who contributed to this thread for their help! I'm going to document this fix. LOL

Device Manager settings & Intel Rapid Storage for Crucial SSD

Hello, 1. Can anyone tell me what should the settings in device manager be for my drive?See snapshot attached and advise if it is correct. 2. Would there be any collision or problems with having the Intel Rapid Storage client installed?It was already installed in my laptop.

Default device manager settings, under policies, should be top box ticked, second box unticked. These are the correct settings.
IRST is fine as long as it's reasonably new. Like around about v11 or better. Older versions will break windows update (amongst other things) on these modern drives.

Qosmio x300-15u: device manager shows 1x 9800M GTS and 1x 9400M

Hi.
I have a Qosmio x300-15u and i have noticed in device manager it only shows 1x 9800m gts and 1x 9400m!!!
Is it right that i should have 2x 9800gts cards showing?
The spec for this machine should have 2x 9800 cards sli (whatever that means) So a total of 1GB video ram.
I'm sure im not getting the full performance of my laptop.
When i go into nvidia control panel it does not say anything about sli.
Btw; I am not running vista anymore.....
i now run windows 7 ultimate 64.
Please help me .
Thanks

Are you using the Display Drivers supplied by Toshiba on the Toshiba Website? Or are you using the nVidia supplied ones?

Device manager shows device but installation CD can't find a Creative prod

Well, I suppose that the title of this thread says it all. My device manager recognizes the Creative product I have in one of the PCI slots, but when I insert the CD to install all of the programs I get an error message that reads "can't find a creative labs product on the system". Why would the computer be able to detect the device but not the CD? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but that doesn't help.
The kicker is, my sound card worked just fine two weeks ago and I've not changed anything in the system.
I did a search on this topic and other people have run into the same problem but there weren't any solutions posted. I'd really appreciate ANY help as this is a VERY frustrating problem.

this is the glitch I think I had when I installed my XFI Platinum. I followed the instructions by loading all the hardware BEFORE loading any software. So now the card and the bay are installed and I boot up. The instructions tell you to cancel installing hardware at this point. The instructions say to put the CD in and install the software. Like I usually do I do a Custom install. Incidentely it only leaves out a few software options like the Volume Panel and some other stuff I didnt feel I would want. So when I put the disk in the first of 4 items as I remember it was the XFI software which is the mode changer and panel software and more. This is where I got the message you got so I skipped to the next item to install.
I loaded the next item which was I think the media player and then I didnt load the next 2 because I didnt want them. AOl on my desktop and something else.
So I figured it may have loaded drivers at this point but not the software because the card officially was in the system yet. So I rebooted.
When it rebooted It detected the Card and a couple of other devices I think at this point.
So obviously I figured that now the software would load since the card was officially recognized. I put the CD in and selected the first option and it then loaded the XFI software.
Yea this is the one thing I found in the installation as a little confusing and not documented.
Maybe this will help you.Message Edited by Crashman on 05-25-2006 2:3 AM

Satellite L550-11K - Device manager shows wrong CPU

I have bought the Satellite L550-11K to myself and because stan it has a p8700 processor with 2.53 GHz. However, in the device manager it stands 2 times a T4200 processor with 2 GHz!!!?

Hey,
I had the same issue that the CPU in my desktop computer wasnt listed properly so I have removed the CPU from device manager (right click > uninstall) and restart the notebook. You have to remove both entries.
After restarting the CPU will be recognized again and this time it should be listed properly. For me it worked. :)
Another question, are you running the preinstalled OS or have you installed another OS?

Playbook is faling to communicate using Desktop SW but BB Device Manager Shows PB as connected

I'm running the Playbook OS 2.0.1.358 and Desktop SW 7.1.0.32 on Windows 7. I've uninstalled and reinstalled DTSW. I've tried 3 different USB cables. The Blackberry Device Manager sees the playbook and shows it as connected.
It's the DTSW that says it canot "communicate" with the device. I've tried to run the Update that it offers to install, but that fails too.
This was working a month ago. Any ideas? Thanks!

Already had done that. The weird thing here is that the BB Device Manager in the system tray has no problem seeing the PB.
Also, am I missing something or is USB the only support for PB? In the DTSW Bluetooth Configuration, it says that "this version of BB Desktop SW doesn't Support Bluetooth connections with BlackBerry Playbook tablets."
Bluetooth Bridge with my Torch is working great.

L7580 All-in-1 is listed as a disk drive by Device Manager! What gives?

Disk manager lists my officejet L7580 as "HP Officejet Pro L7 USB Device" under Disk drives. Is this an error? Do I need to reinstall the driver? I'm having some other problems with the printer that I'm trying to track down and am wondering whether this might be a lead to the problems.

I am having the same issue with the HP Officejet Pro. (Model is 8510) Will not connect the printer via the USB port or wireless. Imaging Devices displays HP Officejet Pro 8610. Other devices displays Unknown device.
Deleted the device from Disk drives but it comes back just as soon as I connect the printer to the PC. Earlier my problem was that 5 or 6 .inf files were not in the C:/windows/inf folder.
4 hours wasted trying to get a printer on my PC.

Question about video driver and window manager

Dear All:
I have been using Arch for a couple of months now and I am absolutely amazed by how top of the line this system is.
Congratulations and thank you to all the developers!
A couple of questions for anybody interested in these topics:
1) Do people usually use open-source video drivers, or proprietary? What are the advantages/disadvantages of either solution, in terms of stability and performance? (I have an ATI Radeon Mobility graphics card on an IBM T43 laptop). Also, I use dual-head with an external NEC lcd display using MergedFramebuffer, but I notice that the external monitor is not set completely well. Looking closely at the black background standard in Openpox, for example, I notice a constant flickering of the pixels. Can it be because I am not using the proprietary ATI driver?
2) What is, in your opinion, the fastest and most reliable window manager? I wonder whether somebody has run objective comparisons.
I fell in love with wmii recently, but managed to crash it twice when I tried to run kmail (perhaps because this application is not wm-independent?).
Also, applications seem to respond the fastest in fvwm on my system!? Isn't wmii supposed to be the fastest, being the lightest?
Thank you for your help!

There's two different pages for this model on the Toshiba site depending on the DVD
DVD-Multi
DVD-R/RW
Concerning the memory you can check on different memory suppliers like Orca, Crucial, Offtek etc. This is the Orca page
