• Media Player Burns, plays on pc but not on a dvd player

  My departure was sent to the College on a format of pg2, downloaded & burned - r dvd plays on pc, but used on drives.

  It happens on the Sony, "error", on my Insignia he comes up with a screen full of files that does nothing when clicked.

  It burned on a-RW, was worse, would not even play on the pc.

  As far as I know, the pc is doing its job, it is a change in file format I should run this through?

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  The dvd was made in pg2 format by the College, for download to anyone on their site (instead of run it on access of the public as they did)

  I was able to download & play on the pc under Windows DVD Maker, but will not play on a dvd player on TV, comes up with a list of files on other players it just says error.

  I don't really know if it been finalised on creating DVDs, as a window does not appear that said.

  I feel like Im close & 1 not far from having work, looked into the expensive converter software companies, but they have no support contact to let me know their software supports the file pg2, & no one seems to know at Microsoft, if the Ulitimate Win7 can support this format.

  The College assured me that when it downloads, it converts a long format applied, which she did, & use that one, I did, but didn't work.

  I'll contact them & see if they can run me a copy, as far as I know, Ill never faced this kind of new format.    Updates BearPup, how it works.    Thank you, Robert

  I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Installation of Vista on the new hard drive was interrupted, and now I can not start the computer

  So I decided that I need a bigger hard drive. I got a 500 GB hard drive, so I have it PLOPPED in my Acer Aspire 5517 with my vista boot drive, turned on and began to go through the process. Once he got to the phase 'installation complete' it seems to take a while, so I let it run all night. Once I got up, it was on a black screen with the mouse, I let stand a few more minutes but still nothing. I turned off and started it expects to find to return at the beginning of the installation, but instead he began to start from what is on the hard drive at this time. It got to the screen with the loading bar and the sign 'Microsoft Corporation'. The loading bar was very frigidity and stopped and started randomly. I let it do this while I went to school, but when I got home, it was always the same loading screen. I rebooted and tried to start in safe mode, but when I do it it stops at crcdisk.sys, and never forwarded charges. I tried to do the reset thing factory start it but that doesn't seem to work. My other puny hard drive still works, but the other does not. I searched the internet but have not seen any other problem like it. I want to just start completely clean of my new 500 GB. Please help!

  Hi James,

  1. What is the number of brand and model of the hard disk of 500 GB?

  2. How did the 500 GB hard drive connected to the computer? It is external or internal?

  To troubleshoot the unable to start the issue to cause corrupted driver, some files that can not be loaded during the startup process must be fixed or restored. So, let's check the disk by using the Windows Recovery Console.

  (b) press a key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD ".

  (c) select a language, a time, a currency and a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next.

  (d) click on repair your computer.

  (e) (click on the operating system you want to repair), and then click Next.

  (f) in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt. Type chkdsk c:/f to try to correct the errors.

  (g) Note: answer them when chkdsk asks you if you want to check the disk next boot Vista

  (h) after the recording of the disc, and then run sfc/scannow to check the corruption of system files.

  Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  Check out TechNet help links and check if that helps:

• DVD drive reads CD but not DVD.

  I use a laptop Gateway M - 151 X with an Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7640 A ATA device. The player is no longer plays DVDs, although it does not read CD. I have read through similar problems on this site and tried to follow the advice given there. So far I have uninstalled the driver (and reinstalled by rebooting) and removed the UpperFilters and LowerFilters in the registry. I also ran this Mr Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cd_dvd_drive_problems, who told me that the problem was fixed when I ran with a CD, but he told me that the disc is unreadable when I ran fixit with a DVD. Other suggestions (for example in the selected answer here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistahardware/thread/f388ca10-ba0b-4aa6-8f0d-be24034ada3b) do not seem to apply. Is there anything else I can do in addition to open up the computer and check the cables? I don't know what to look for and won't cause other problems.

  I don't know if this is related, but I also ran this Mr Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/hardware_device_problems, who told me he had a problem with the card Microsoft 6to4 driver, which he is then fixed by put it back automatically.

  Get a DVD cleaning disc and use it to wipe the drive.  Your drive uses different leaders internally to read CD and DVD so if one works and the other does not, a dirty car may be the cause.

• CD/DVD Rom will play audio CD but not DVD

  Hello

  I am at a loss :( The CD/DVD-rom (ID: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50L) in my refuses to Asus computer (Vista 64 Home Premium) laptop to play DVDs now but will read audio CDs, I put in the drive without problem. When I put a DVD in the drive, it will make clicking sounds and then turn and then turn down and then do nothing at all. I have scoured the internet looking for a solution to this problem and have done everything I could find a solution (drivers are up to date, checked registry and was fine, checked reading auto and put all ask me every time, ran auto fix - it and he just says cannot read the media type, uninstalled and reinstalled the drive) etc.).

  The drive is displayed in Explorer, but when I double click top with a DVD, nothing happens. I even downloaded the new codecs and I still have this problem. The problem started shortly after I have updated to SP2, and I've even uninstalled SP2 and nothing. I tried system restore and still no dice. I do not say that this problem has nothing to do with the installation of SP2 or anything, but the drive has worked perfectly well before that date. I initially thought that maybe the drive went wrong and think always that after trying all the solutions that I found, but a bad combo player would still be able to play audio CDs without problem?

  Any help on this would be much appreciated...

  Thank you

  Hello

  Update the BIOS can not help if the drive had worked for a good period of time however it
  is definitely worth it.

  You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).
  Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

  You did a large part of this however please start at the top and work downwards as it is often the total process
  to solve the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Check with your system manufacturer and a device for possible firmware updates and good
  Your player registry entries.

  Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
  other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

• Re: Satellite U400 - buttons mute/DVD/play/stop etc do not work

  Just checked that I have the same problem - it's none of my touch buttons work (mute/DVD/play/stop, etc.) and they stay on up - even when I turn off my laptop completely.

  As far as I know that I did nothing else except some windows update, that could have done it? I quite often use these buttons, so the question is rather awkward for me.

  If it is a different matter, I'll start a new thread. See you soon

  Hello

  Eventually MS updates confused something in your system.
  The buttons are controlled by the different applications that are part of the VAP.

  I think that you should remove the PPV of the system and should reinstall it again.
