• Message from Windows XP: Windows Media Player cannot play a DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer__

  Our computer working again after installing a new hard drive and reinstall all Windows XP Home edition software from disks under Windows license, I got with the computer again. All software updates at the current level (SP3, etc.) have been downloaded. "But while I could play DVDs before the accident, I cannot now and the message reported by both, ' WindowsMedia cannot play the DVD because a DVD compatibledecoder is not installed on your computer.

  Why did I have a decoder of media player before the crash, but not now? Before the accident, I had not bought any software DVD player or downloaded any free DVD playback software, it was on new Dell computer.

  Windows xp does not come standard with a dvd decoder, so it must be installed. This would have been done by Dell when you purchased if you say that you did not.

  You have all the disks in Dell? If so, get through them dvd playing software, common are windvd or powerdvd.

• Sansa Fuze: Play through the car stereo with USB port

  I bought a fuse to play through my new car stereo using the USB port in the car.  It works fine if the the "rocket" plays internal memory, but does not work when I insert the micro-SD card [even tho SD card works fine in rocket not connected to the USB auto]. Any ideas? Sansa says lack of his car, but car people say no, and highlight car cannot distinguish which comes through the USB. On the same topic, someone tried to use a "USB" port USB auto?

  I can't speak for the part of SD card of your question, because I have not yet tried my rocket in my car.

  When you connect a rocket to a computer, however, the SD card appears as a separate drive. Maybe the radio cannot deal with the way in which the "rocket" offers access to the SD card. There is (cheap) USB key in the form of micro-SD card readers. Maybe that would fit your purpose here. Simply put the micro SD card in the drive of the USB and put the USB in your car stereo.

  USB USB keys should work properly in car radio with a USB port. I tried several disks to different USB memory and they are all worked well.

• Windows 7 Audio problem IDT plays through speakers and headphones

  I recently took possession of old Windows 7 Dell Inspiron N5040 my brother who runs the audio driver IDT HD Audio, the problem is that even when headphones are plugged in, the computer still plays sound on the speakers, I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver, update the driver software and I still cannot fix. I thought that maybe the problem could be fixed with sound in the Control Panel, however, I can't find the device labeled "Headphones", only two devices listed are "Speakers/headphones" and "helmet of Communications." How can I do so that the system only plays sound through speakers when the headphone is not plugged and only plays the sound through the headphones when they are?

  Has been able to do before the OS Sierra update. Now if I switch to my bluetooth receiver in the system prefs-> sound-> menu "exit" it disconnects completely airplay. This happens both with mirroring and use as a separate display.

• IMAPS will not play through radio

  I have cards will not connect with radio either bluetooth or cable

  Hello paddymac2,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I understand that you do not hear the guests of navigation Maps through your car stereo.  If this is correct, then I suggest you activate the option "Allow HFP Prompts" as shown below.

  Allow guests HFP

  When supported by your car, hands free (HFP) allows navigation invites you to play through your car speakers when the iPhone is not selected as the audio source. With allow HFP lit guest, you can have your car stereo source on a non Bluetooth such as your car radio or satellite entry but still receive turn-by-turn directions on your iPhone or iPad via your car stereo speakers.

  The HFP function depends on your car stereo and your iPhone or iPad must have iOS 7. 1 or a later version. If you don't see the HFP parameter when your iPhone is connected to your Hi-Fi, check with the manufacturer of your stereo.

  Use the cards and Bluetooth on your iPhone or iPad

  On the other hand, if your iPhone is not recognized by your car radio, and then follow the troubleshooting in the link below:

  Help to connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your car radio

  Take care.

• Satellite Pro A300D - cannot play movies on a Toshiba DVD player

  Hi guys,.

  When I play movies in Toshiba DVD player I get the following error message: "unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after the end of the application. TEMPRO, I installed and tried to install all updates - some of them were for different hardware so wouldn't install.

  I get a similar problem in Windows Media Player "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card. VLC player works fine. The drive otherwise normally functioning.

  It's the same problem, as described in this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=201029&tstart=0, but all the answers are a similar problem with HD DVD on a different model (P200).

  Anyone know how I can fix this problem? I'm not sure I can be bothered to go back and reinstall Vista etc...

  Thank you
  Alex

  Hey Buddy,

  According to the Toshiba DVD Player error message: are you trying to watch DVDs on an external monitor or TV?
  In your case, I will try to reinstall the DVD playback software. This means delete the current version and then restart your computer. Then download and install the latest software from Toshiba DVD player.

  But to be honest: it's that everything works with VLC media player as it s very big and small media player that can play all audio and video files. Isn t it? ;)

• Windows Media Player cannot play audio files

  Hi, I have Toshiba laptop, this is my baby, and all of a sudden I can't play sounds! When I click to play a song in windows media player, it says:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with the audio device. It might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it can be used by another program, or it may not work properly.

  I tried everything and I'm on my last nerve! Basically, I'm rubbish with computers, I do not understand this at all, I followed all the ways suggested by the section 'aid' in my computer and I can't always listen to 'The Feeling!' Please help, I'm going crazy here!

  Yes my friend. The computer world is really not easy to understand, and sometimes I wish that I could no longer live the island of computer.
  but you know, the development never stop.

  OK, now your problem; have you checked the Device Manager?
  You don't see any yellow exclamation next to the sound card?

  I think that you should first try reinstalling the audio driver. Of course, it s a very tips but especially it works essentially ;)
