DVD & CD drivers are software programs that allow your Windows operating system communicate with your DVD/CD drive.

Program Description. Connect is a 10-week program to support parents and caregivers of pre-teens and teens with behavioural and emotional problems. Parents meet in small groups with two trained group leaders for 90 minutes each week. Each session provides parents with a new perspective on parent-teen relationships and adolescent development.
In this post we will discuss the following topics:
Driver errors usually occur in the following cases:
Common DVD & CD Drivers problems:
If there is a problem with your DVD/CD driver, your Windows computer will probably fail to play the inserted DVD/CD.
Below are some of the more common DVD & CD errors that have often troubled Windows users:
What can I do to fix DVD & CD Drivers problems?
Reinstall the DVD/CD driver via Device Manager
Sometimes, Windows may save the driver files incorrectly. This can manifest as a driver error when the operating system tries to access the driver in question. In addition, registry-related issues and infestation of driver files by malware may make a driver inaccessible. Such issues can be resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling the concerned driver.
Let’s take a look at the steps you need to follow to manually reinstall a DVD/CD driver in Windows:
Run a scan on your computer using an efficient driver management tool
As you can see, fixing driver-related errors manually is time-consuming. Even after spending time trying to solve a driver error manually, there is no guarantee that you will find the solution. For instance, all your efforts will go to waste if you don’t have the required driver disc and are not able to locate the required driver on the Internet. There is also the risk of installing the wrong driver and causing other problems in addition to the existing ones.
An efficient driver management tool provides you a guaranteed, effortless, and quick way of permanently resolving driver errors. Thanks to the large drivers database that such programs have, they are able to quickly locate the latest driver for any type of hardware device.
List of the most common DVD & CD Drivers:
The general form of the connection URL is
jdbc:sqlserver://[serverName[instanceName][:portNumber]][;property=value[;property=value]]
where:
Caution
For security purposes, you should avoid building the connection URLs based on user input. You should only specify the server name and driver in the URL. For user name and password values, use the connection property collections. For more information about security in your JDBC applications, see Securing JDBC driver applications.
Connection examples
Connect to the default database on the local computer by using a user name and password:
jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;user=MyUserName;password=*****;
Note
Although the previous example uses a username and password in the connection string, you should use integrated security as it is more secure. For more information, see the Connecting with Integrated Authentication section later in this topic.
The following connection string shows an example of how to connect to a SQL Server database using integrated authentication and Kerberos from an application running on any operating system supported by the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server:
Connect to the default database on the local computer by using integrated authentication:
jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;integratedSecurity=true;
![]()
Connect to a named database on a remote server:
jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=AdventureWorks;integratedSecurity=true;
Connect on the default port to the remote server:
jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=AdventureWorks;integratedSecurity=true;
Connect by specifying a customized application name:
jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=AdventureWorks;integratedSecurity=true;applicationName=MyApp;
Named and multiple SQL Server instances
SQL Server allows for the installation of multiple database instances per server. Each instance is identified by a specific name. To connect to a named instance of SQL Server, you can either specify the port number of the named instance (preferred), or you can specify the instance name as a JDBC URL property or a datasource property. If no instance name or port number property is specified, a connection to the default instance is created. See the following examples:
To use a port number, do the following:
jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;integratedSecurity=true;<more properties as required>;
To use a JDBC URL property, do the following:
jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;instanceName=instance1;integratedSecurity=true;<more properties as required>;
Escaping values in the connection URL
You might have to escape certain parts of the connection URL values because of the inclusion of special characters such as spaces, semicolons, and quotation marks. The JDBC driver supports escaping these characters if they are enclosed in braces. For example, {;} escapes a semicolon.
Escaped values can contain special characters (especially '=', ';', '[]', and space) but cannot contain braces. Values that must be escaped and contain braces should be added to a properties collection.
Note
White space inside the braces is literal and not trimmed.
Connecting with integrated authentication On Windows
The JDBC driver supports the use of Type 2 integrated authentication on Windows operating systems through the integratedSecurity connection string property. To use integrated authentication, copy the sqljdbc_auth.dll file to a directory on the Windows system path on the computer where the JDBC driver is installed.
The sqljdbc_auth.dll files are installed in the following location:
<installation directory>sqljdbc_<version><language>auth
For any operating system supported by the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server, see Using Kerberos Integrated Authentication to Connect to SQL Server for a description of a feature added in Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server that allows an application to connect to a database using integrated authentication with Type 4 Kerberos.
Note
If you are running a 32-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), use the sqljdbc_auth.dll file in the x86 folder, even if the operating system is the x64 version. If you are running a 64-bit JVM on a x64 processor, use the sqljdbc_auth.dll file in the x64 folder.
Alternatively you can set the java.library.path system property to specify the directory of the sqljdbc_auth.dll. For example, if the JDBC driver is installed in the default directory, you can specify the location of the DLL by using the following virtual machine (VM) argument when the Java application is started:
-Djava.library.path=C:Microsoft JDBC Driver 6.4 for SQL Serversqljdbc_<version>enuauthx86
Connecting with IPv6 addresses
The JDBC driver supports the use of IPv6 addresses with the connection properties collection, and with the serverName connection string property. The initial serverName value, such as jdbc:sqlserver://serverName, isn't supported for IPv6 addresses in connection strings. Using a name for serverName instead of a raw IPv6 address will work in every case in the connection. The following examples provide more information.
To use the serverName property
jdbc:sqlserver://;serverName=3ffe:8311:eeee:f70f:0:5eae:10.203.31.9instance1;integratedSecurity=true;
To use the properties collection
Properties pro = new Properties();
pro.setProperty('serverName', 'serverName=3ffe:8311:eeee:f70f:0:5eae:10.203.31.9instance1');
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection('jdbc:sqlserver://;integratedSecurity=true;', pro);
