Even though DVD drives are a standard feature for most PCs now, most versions of Windows still need special software to use a DVD drive properly. If your DVD drive is missing its driver, or if its driver is old and out-of-date, it can give you really annoying errors. The best way to get your DVD drive working properly again is to use an automatic driver update tool. We recommend Driver Robot - it has drivers for every single DVD drive ever made.

Three reasons to use Driver Robot to repair your DVD drive:
| 1 |
It eliminates the chance of choosing the wrong driver.Driver Robot's deep scan and database of over 1,400,000 drivers means that it automatically installs the exact driver your DVD drive needs. If you're not 100% sure of the technical specifications of your DVD drive (like its speed, model number, manufacturer, revision number, etc.), don't take the chance of installing the wrong driver and further damaging your computer. |
| 2 |
You don't need to waste time manually hunting for the driver.DVD drives are one of those commodity parts that are manufactured by the millions by nameless firms who provide no support for their product. If there is a website that has the driver you need, it's probably written in another language! Skip all of this - Driver Robot has done the hard work for you. Use this software to save hours from your DVD troubleshooting time. |

This software is used by computer experts.There are thousands of models of DVD drives out there, each one slightly different from the rest. Computer professionals - like the guys who run the network at work, or your local PC repair guru - know better than to waste time hunting for the drivers for each DVD drive individually. Instead, they use Driver Robot to automate the process. It saves them time - and it can work for you, too. |
Look how easy Driver Robot made updating the drivers for our DVD drive:
-
Scan for attached devices
To prepare for this test, we installed a Plextor DVD drive in our PC with no drivers. We then let Driver Robot scan our otherwise-perfect system.
Sure enough, Driver Robot detected a device that was missing its driver. (The rest of the computer checked out fine, which we were expecting.)
-
Review of driver update suggestions
Here is where Driver Robot showed us that the device missing its driver was our DVD drive. The software recommended that we allow it to download the latest driver for this device on to our system.
We told Driver Robot to start the download, and it took us to the next screen.

New DVD driver installation
Now you can see the new driver - which is the latest official release from Plextor - being downloaded on to our system.
After the automatic installation, we tested the DVD drive, and it worked 100% (Windows saw it, we could play movies, we could burn DVD discs, etc).
Don't waste time manually troubleshooting your DVD drive.

How to use the driver update tool on your PC
To update your computer's drivers, you need to download and install the driver update tool on to your PC. When you are finished updating your drivers, you may wish to uninstall the driver utility. Here are some simple, step-by-step instructions for doing so.
Installing the driver utility to update your drivers
To begin the installation process, download the setup file from any of the download buttons on this page (5.1MB, executable file). The download will take approximately 30 seconds on most connections.
Once the setup file is on your system, locate it and double-click on it to begin the installation process. The installer will show you a splash screen welcoming you to the product. Press the Next button to continue past this.
Now, review the End User License Agreement (EULA) and make sure you agree with it. Press Next again to continue. The application will now install on to your computer, and configure itself for maximum compatibility with your system.
When the application is finished installing, it will run automatically and prompt you to begin a driver scan to find new drivers for your system.
Uninstalling the driver tool when you're finished updating your drivers
Uninstalling the driver update tool couldn't be easier. Open your Start menu and press the All Programs button. In this list, find the driver software's folder. Inside this folder, you will find an icon labeled Uninstall. Click on this to begin uninstalling the software.
You may be asked whether you're sure you want to remove the program from your computer. Press Yes, and it will uninstall cleanly from your system. No traces or remnants will be left.
