Fix you lyrics : Coldplay

Post to Twitter

When you try your best but, you don’t succeed
When you get what you want but, not what you need
When you feel so tired but, you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but, it goes to waste..
Could it be worse ……

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But, if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you…

Solved: DVD drive reading CD but, not DVD

Post to Twitter

For the last couple of months, I had this issue where my DVD drive on Dell Laptop was able to read CD’s but, not DVD. I first thought its a driver issue and tried to update my outdated drives through the Device Manager. However, it didn’t work.

Then, I tried several other things and searched Google to find out anyone has the same problem. Surprisingly, I found thousands of users especially Dell Laptop users and the users using  TSST Corp DVD +-RW TS-632H ATA DVD drive have the same problem.

Answers I found through the search:

  • Clean the DVD drive with lens cleaner CD. Well, I didn’t have that.
  • Clean the drive lens through alcohol with a piece of cloth. I tried it with water & floor cleaner (:D) …but, that didn’t solve either.
  • Buy a new drive. Most of the people have recommended to buy a new drive saying your lens has gone & its time for a new DVD drive for your laptop or desktop.

While I thought for a moment that replacing a new drive would solve my problem, I also thought if my lens was gone…then why the hell was it reading the CD’s ? (and not DVD’s)

I was pretty sure it was something to do with the software part of it and not the hardware / lens. Then, I continued my search and found the perfect solution to this problem:

If you are have come across this problem like me, please do not spend on a new drive and first try to understand where exactly the problem is….if your problem gets solved with the above solutions, well & good. If not, its a definite problem with your registry files (corrupted files) and you can fix that easily by following the below steps:

For Windows Users:

1. Click Start.
2. Click Run.
3. In the “Open” field type REGEDIT.
4. Click OK.
5. Click “File” in the menu bar.
6. Click “Export” from the drop down menu this will open a new box.
7. Click the down arrow beside “Save In” and select “Local Disk (C”.
8. In the File Name field type BACKUP.REG.
9. Verify that under the “Export Range”, that the radio button is beside “All”.
10. Click Save.

12. Click the plus sign (+) beside System.
13. Click the plus sign (+) beside CurrentControlSet.
14. Click the plus sign (+) beside Control.
15. Click the plus sign (+) beside Class.
16. In the left hand window pane click on {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} to select that key.

21. Click the “X” in the upper right hand corner of the Registry Editor window to close it.

Restart your Computer in order for the DVD drive to work. Once your computer has been restarted, you can now read both DVDs as well as CDs on your DVD drive.
