  If your dvd player is as it does not exist and is one of those listed below you may need a firmware update. If this isn't one of those listed so my answer does not apply to your situation.

  I have a problem with my Satellite P200-1: can not read HD DVD. There is a message that says that the video may not be in an external device.

  The problem is the same if I try on the screen of the laptop or on the TV (Sony Bravia Full HD) with HDMI. I have the latest driver and software for vista sp1 installed...

  Some have an idea?

• Re: Satellite P500 of USA - can not read the local DVD

  Hello

  Sorry to appear such a luddite acquired but this laptop great USA from eBay.
  User manual appears to indicate that the player is going to adapt to the locality of the drives I want to play.

  Not had any luck with playback at all to this day, the error message 'not compatible' etc., any guy of suggestions?

  See you soon,.
  Michael

  Hi mate

  I think that the portable player s (optical disc) DVD region is set in the United States and therefore you can not read the DVD released for the European market.

  To resolve this problem, you must change the option of DVD region 2 region.

  My computer-> drive CD / DVD-> properties-> Hardware tab-> choose the CD drive / DVD-> properties-> DVD region

  Notes; You can change this settings ONLY 4 times. After that the parameters is no longer editable.

• Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

  I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

  Hi Bill,

  To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

  As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
