Black screen and blue ring

Hi
Please try this driver

If your display driver is the real problem, you can remove it by going into safemode.
Restart your PC.
Keep tapping F8 once you see the post screen
From the Advanced Boot Options, choose SafeMode
When inside windows, right click on My Computer and select Properties.
If you're in Windows XP, go to Hardware tab and click on Device Manager. In case of Vista, click on Device Manager in the left pane
Under Display Adapters, right click on the entry and choose uninstall.
Restart your PC.

If you need drivers head to nVidia

check your dvd in bios. is it recognised in bios ?
also try to push your dvd, dvd connection to motherboard might be loose.

I would suggest you disconnect your Satellite A200,then restart Vista to get it up and going.Then go check in Device Manager, which you get in Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager.In the dropdown list under Sound/Video and Game controllers,find your A200 open it by clicking on it and see what the problem is {very likely a driver clash or Vista incompatible driver}.Uninstall the device until you find the correct driver software.Regards.Georgeo

I know how to fix it my friend. =]
Figured it out today after having the same problem.

First of all try and install some generic MTP drivers.
Go to CONTROL PANEL > ADD NEW HARDWARE > PORTABLE DEVICE > Then install any MTP device drivers and see if that works. If not do this:

-unplug player
-press the reset button if you can't turn it on
-turn it on
-hold 'm' (menu) button
-go setting/system something like that
-find an option saying format and do a complete format
-find an option saying reset and do that
-plug in the player
BANG - windows should install the correct drivers and thus allowing you do use it. =]

Make sure you have the latest update of the DSS Player Pro software. Check under Help > About Dictation Module. You should be using version 4.10.3. If not, download the latest version with the latest Vista drivers.

do you have ur recovery disc made for the laptop... if u have it use it.... or else visit the laptop manufacturers site and search for the driver.... i got my cam driver from my laptop manufacturers site only....

Windows xp driver is corrupt
· go to my computer > click on hardware tab >

(write these down just in case it cant find them)
right click on them and uninstall

· Also told Microsoft hotfix causes this problem try uninstalling the last hotfix

I had this same problem, I'm using Vista on my HP laptop and I managed to correct it. Apparently HP like to customize Vista and when connecting some USB device's they don't recognise them as what they should. A USB mass storage device. You will need to connect the camera to the computer, the camera will come on then click the ok button so it selects PC. Wait until it finishes its search click cancel and open device manager, scroll down and below Network Adaptors you should see an expandable tree with an yellow exclamation mark named Portable Device's --> FE-280/X820/C520 you will need to right click on the FE-280/X820/C520 icon and select "Update driver software". Then select "Browse my computer for driver software" then select "Let me pick from a list of device driver's on my computer" Scroll down till you see "Universal serial bus controllers" then select "USB Mass storage device" in the next window. It should all work fine now! If it still doesn't work try selecting "Portable devices" then select "WPD File system device" --> "Microsoft WPD filesystem Volume Driver".
Hope it helps.

Cheers, Mick
