Cannot access my DVD-CD in my computer

Original title; DVD - Rw disc

When I insert a cd it plays ok automatically. However if I open 'Computer' and try to access the information on the disk by clicking on the player it does not. Initially, I got a response. "Windows cannot access the specific device, a file, or a path. You can not have appropriate permission to access the item "." I ran the restore to an earlier date of restoration. Now, when I try to access the disc in the drive, I get the answer. "application not found".  If I right click on the drive I get the options and if I press 'Open' the tracks of the disc are displayed. I recently loaded software MP3 "Philips Songbird" on my system, but being not not happy with it I uninstalled it. I also uninstalled "itunes" & "icloud. Will be this cause any kind of problem? I have re-installed "itunes."  Can anyone help?  Faulkner W

  • Cannot find CD/DVD drive in my computer on Device Manager. CD - DVD does not work

    I recently discovered that my CD/DVD drive does not work. It worked fine before. Tried to burn a CD in iTunes, but the error message says that the software or the CD device could not be found.

    My CD/DVD drive does not appear in the computer or Device Manager. I have read a few forums and tried to delete upper and lower filters, but that no longer works. Help, please.

    I am running Windows Vista - it came installed on my computer when it was purchased.

    Hello

    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
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

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

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

    I'm having a problem.

    I have a small network in my house consists of three computers.  One is running XP, it has Vista Home Premium, and it has Windows 7 Home Premium.  I usually use wireless networks, but I have the same problem if I use wired connections through my router.

    All three computers can see each other when I display the network on each.  I can ping each computer from other computers.  The problem is that when I try to access a shared folder on the Windows 7 computer from the Vista computer, I get an error window popping up that says:

    \\computer-name is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  The network location cannot be reached.  For more information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.

    I can get in the same shared folder on the XP computer.  I also have to shared folders on the XP computer Vista computer.

    I can also get to the shared folders on the XP and Vista computers on the Windows 7 computer.

    The only problem is learning to the shared folder on the Windows 7 computer Vista computer.

    The folder on the Windows 7 computer is configured to be shared by everyone.  Password sharing is disabled on all three computers.

  • I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

    DVD decoder not installed?

    I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
    A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?

    I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message.  Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.

    Thanks if anyone can help.

    Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.

    The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.

    Using Media Player version 10 or 11?

    the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert).   It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.

    because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)

    So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing.  Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.

    Have a great day!

  • Windows automatically restarts constantly, cannot access the system restore point, cannot access the computer in safe mode

    Hi all

    For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.

    I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.

    I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?

    Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!
