• DVD starts, stops, will not play the DVD. No icon on the control panel

  I have a HP G72-B66US laptop. A few days back I burned a DVD - RW, since then the DVD will not play a DVD. It starts, then stops. I uninstalled the drive and reinstalled the driver several times, but when I look at the Device Manager the DVD has the top yellow triangle. I can't use a recovery disk because it will not play the disc drive. Can someone help me on this? Thank you. Is there a place I can download a disk drive?

  Thank you

• My windows media player will not play a DVD

  My windows media player will not play a DVD: Microsoft Windows 95 Version 5.1 (Build 2600.XP_SP3_gdr.111025 - 1629:Service Pack 3).  Download a free version of media player to play the DVD?  Please tell me the name of the upgrade and where to find the free download version, if so.  Thank you!

  First thing that you do not run windows 95 if your build number is 2600.XP_SP3 it is a build number of windows XP.  Second, you will not be able to play DVDs using this version of windows and media player only.  The reason for this is DVD is a standard that a group of companies shut down and basically, they demand rights fees to use, it codec, which you don't have. You will need get a program that has integrated these codec (or find them somewhere).  Your best option for this is to completely abandon the but of the using Media player to play your DVD (unless you are looking to buy another piece of software).  There is a free option that I use on my machine Windows 7 Basic its called VLC is a free player that makes just about every format out there (not sure Bluray).  VLC uses its own codec (I think it's developed for the linux community orginially) rather than using the codec of the industry.  You can find the program at http://www.videolan.org/

• Satellite A40-231: SD-R6112 will not read the DVDs I burned

  I finally got my DVD burner to work, but now the drive will not read the DVDs I burned, which, of course, defies the point of having a dvd burner in the first place... When I insert my dvd recently burned, "working" light lights and stays on. Same thing happens no matter how many times I take it out and put plug back in, restart my computer, etc... any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  @Magnus:
  Sometimes, CDs and burned DVD cannot be read with no closing sessions of engraving. You should check this option.
  In addition, this burning program did you use?
  I use Nero. Form is the program better combustion and I never had a problem.
  What you need to do is to test several DVDs. not all media work on the disc.

• An MP3 will not play, the reason may be that there is inside the ID3 headers.

  An MP3 will not play, the reason may be that there is inside the ID3 headers.

  I have to remove them, otherwise the WMP cannot play. But how do I do this?

  original title: MP3 will not play

  Hello

  -What operating system is installed on your computer?
  -What version of Windows Media Player do you use?

  The ID3 header is a part of the file that stores the album information of the song (for example, the song name, artist name, album name and kind). This information is sometimes called a label. After you remove the headers ID3, Windows Media Player should be able to play MP3 files.

  Warning

  Try to remove ID3 headers might damage the file and make it unplayable. Therefore, always make a copy of the file before editing.

  If you try to play an MP3 file that contains compressed ID3 headers, make a copy of the file and then use an ID3 tag non - editing program Microsoft to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers.

  If you are referring to edit media information, see the following link:

• Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

  Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

  It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

  It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

  What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
  correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

• Why first will not play the timeline

  First suddenly stopped play my video in the timeline and source monitors. It will rub and even render and export, but will not play the video within the first. It was working fine 2 weeks ago. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, the removal of all preference files, turning off all but the necessary fonts and it still won't play. When I created a new user account, it works fine. I work with an old MacPro Tower (1,1), Mac OS 10.7, with 20 GB or Ram and files are accessible from an internal 2 TB raid array.

  Hi mperriguey.

  This may be the problem with hardware Audio from Premiere pro preferences. Please launch the product and go to Premiere pro > Audio hardware and changes that he built in output and check if it works or not.

• Satellite M30X: reader will not read the DVD-R data but plays movies in DVD-R and CD

  I have a Toshiba M30X with combi DVD/CDRW drive.
  I have accumulated 12 GB of digital photo I wanted to erase but do not want the number of CDs that can be the so I bought an external DVD LITEON EZ - DUB and made 3 DVD - R burner of plenty of JPEG.
  However, when I put the DVD in the drive of Toshiba combi, it clicks for a moment or two, but when I click on the combi drive in my computer, the folder is empty and it is said there are 0 bytes.
  CD of still works, audio and data, DVD movies fine, reading DVD-R on my Pioneer DVD recorder (for TV - looks like a video/nothing to do with PC) plays very well, but he won't recognise DVD - r with data (JPEG or MP3) on them.

  It makes no difference what software was used (Nero 6.6) and LITEON EZDUB and it's okay if the discs are completed, a single session, multi session or what - it will not play any of them.
  However, these discs work perfectly in my old office to 7 years with a Sony DVD/CDRW combination of 4 years.
  I'm puzzled.
  I don't particularly want to reinstall windows, in the case where it does not recognize the recovery DVDs and I remember Microsoft a Note having activated by phone with a code that is different every time you ask him to generate a.
  It's a bit of pain that I wanted to make my pictures with me in my laptop bag.
  I won't be carting around an external DVD burner just to read the DVD.
  I've updated the firmware for SD - R 2512.
  He had no other effect freeze on a black screen on restart - I had to hold down the switch 15 minutes in this State.
  The laptop is 1 year and 26 days if that counts for anything.

  Anyone have any ideas? Or can I just put up with him.

  Hello

  Well, I can only make suggestions.
  You are able to place files many MP3 and Jpeg on DVD.
  This is perhaps a reason why Explorer cannot handle the DVD.

  Try to burn the DVD with photo JEPG, but do not have the full DVD with these files.
  You must leave a free space on the media. Maybe it helps.

  But it's very strange for me and it's just a suggestion. I've never tired it and don't know if it helps.
  I had a similar problem on my laptop but I solved using compatible media. Some readers prefer different media for different types of files.
