In device manager it says code 10 - this device cannot start (read message)

In device manager next to the icon for pioneer DVD-RW DVR K17A Device it has a yellow ! triangle and when i click on it, it says this device cannot start code 10. I got the laptop in June and hadnt noticed the problem til now. When i followed instructions to possbily install updated drivers/software i did so but was told i am up to date.
Thanks

Hi,
I had this exact problem yesterday. I suspect you're running Vista right? The other guy made a good point about saying what machine you've got and what OS you run, so I offer this advice with the disclaimer that I can't be 100 per cent sure it's your problem. However, I've had the exact same problem (referencing the "code 10") recently on my laptop which runs Vista. I called up support and they said there's a bunch of software, especially for things like MP3 players and digital cameras, which is compatible with vista +but+ causes the DVD / CD drive to stop working. He directed me to a page that talks you through a registry patch, which both he and the page itself advises is a little risky. That said, I did the patch and now the DVD / CD drive works. Or that is, it actually reads the DVD before citing some other reason why it can't be played (some worthless advice about reducing screen resolution and colour quality - haven't got any ideas about that have you?).
Here is the address of the page with the registry patch:
support.microsoft.com/kb/929461
Again, I'm not a techie, I'm not at all expert about dealing with computer probs and since I don't know what OS you're running and on what machine I can't be sure this applies to you. But it seems like it does.

  • IPAD 1 problems after ios 5.1.1 update, itunes does not recognize IPAD.. I check the device manager, it identifies an unknown device (My ipad) but unable to use it.

    I am using the generation 1 IPAD.
    I recently updated my ios from ios 4 to ios 5.1.1, I did the restore after the update and all seemed fine as it was detected the first time.
    I tried connecting the IPAD again but it shows that the computer, itunes is not able to detect the IPAD.
    I checked on the device manager, it identifies an unknown device (IPAD) and says no software for the driver. I am using windows 7 on my laptop. I never had any such problem with the iso 4. Any suggestions as to how this can be solved?
    Thanks,
    Vinay

    Thank you, I tried uninstalling the device driver to reinstall again. After doing the scan for hardware changes, nothing flashes on the device manager. I dont see anything related to the IPAD or any other device for which driver shows unidentified device. It is as though the device is not being seen by the computer at all..
    I even tried flashing the home/sleep buttons together but that doesnt seem to identify any device either.
    Anything else I am missing?

  • Sat P105-S2036 WinVista Device Manager does not show Tbios device

    The label on the bottom of the laptop says the Model Number is PSPAOU-1W2036. I have had it for about 2 years. During this time till 2 days ago, it ran factory installed Windows XP MCE just fine. Device Manager had always showed Tbios as a device.
    During the two days starting 3 days ago, I successfully upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista Ultimate. Everything works fine except Device Manager no longer shows Tbios device.
    I am not able to find any Tbios WinVista driver at Support.Toshiba.com for all listed Satellite P105 models.
    What does Tbios do to serve what purpose?
    Is Tbios required for WinVista? If so, how may I find the driver to install.
    THANKS for an answer in advance.

    Hi, I was able to reformat my iPod and that worked. I read it on one of the threads and I am copy pasting the method below:
    I opened the "My Computer" window and right-clicked on my ipod, and then selected "Format". I select "Yes" to format since I don't have anything on the nano to delete anymore.
    I then Eject my nano from the computer and did a restart while the nano is disconnected from the computer.
    Once Windows finish loading I reconnect the USB to the nano(back of computer) which automatically pulls up iTune. It asked me to name the new ipod detected and created a playlist for that specific ipod name.

  • TS1363 I have an ipod shuffle, 7yrs old. Says I have an error and to re-install. Then it tells me, this file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I cannot find any newer version and don't recall downloading it anyway.

    Told to re-install itunes. When I do, it tells me "This file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes." Therefore I can't re-install! Can't seem to find a way to get itunes back. This is a 8 yr old ipod shuffle...

    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded here
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    As long as your computer supports it, the latest iTunes will work with all shuffle models, back the first one.
    Just one thing.  The latest iTunes hides the sidebar, which can be confusing for long-time users.  To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under Views, select Show Sidebar.

  • This iPod cannot be read from or written to

    I have a 5th gen 30GB iPod that's about 18 months old and has been working fine until recently.
    When I connect the iPod to the computer (2Ghz Macbook, 1GB memory, 80GB HD, OSX 10.4.8, iTunes 7.0.1), a message comes up saying "This disk cannot be read from or written to". The iPod itself works fine, but I'd dearly love to be able to update it! I am reluctant to erase it to find the error because I use it every day.
    I don't have access to any other computers with iTunes installed, so I don't know if the problem lies with the iPod or the MacBook. Should I update iTunes/OSX?
    Does anyone have any idea what's up with my iPod? I hope it's not dying...

    The mystery deepens! Althout the iPod SAYS it can't be read from or written to, it is apparently being written to - I found some tracks on it this morning that definitely weren't there when I connected it last night. I didn't update iTunes or anything.
    I guess my question is now "Why on earth is the computer displaying this message when it's not true?" I'm not sure about upgrading because I read that the latest version doesn't allow you to get songs off your iPod onto iTunes - which ***** if you suffer a HD failure or even just buy a new computer!

  • IPhone 5S Touch ID, This fingerprint cannot be read

    Hello guys,
    A week ago my touch id was working just fine, had succes of 7/10 times I tried. But now I get 0/10 success... I even tried to add my finger again however it keeps saying this fingerpring cannot be read. I get the same error on all my fingers...
    I checked my sensor for scraptches however everything seem fine, there are no scratches..
    Please help me get my touch ID working again, thanks.

    Hello there, eriks12.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers practical steps to review for troubleshooting your issue:
    iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
    Particularly:
    Resolving issues with Touch ID
    Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
    Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
    Note: Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
    If you're using a protective case or screen protector, it must leave the Home button and the surrounding ring completely unobscured. If it doesn't, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
    Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and verify that:
    iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on.
    You enrolled one or more fingerprints.
    Try enrolling a different finger.
    If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your iPhone 5s to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.
    * Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin might affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
