• Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)

  my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

  Hello

  I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
  In this case, you need additional codecs.
  This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
  Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

  Good luck

• Cannot read dvd, says that a compatible decoder is installed

  decoder for Windows media player

  I have windows XP Service pack 3. I'm playing commercial DVD discs using Windows Media Player, but I get a massage: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. How can I get an appropriate encoder?

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

• Cannot install Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB936929) - HELP!

  I am running Windows XP Professional.  I had a few problems with this computer, and this is one that I rarely use.  Her husband used to surf with.  I came across a software today I tried to load on that gave me the message that it had installed SP3.  She was never installed on this machine.  Then I tried to install most of the afternoon and it will not be installed.  I can't follow the troubleshooting because the only way I can open popup windows as this one is in the browser firefox and not Internet Explorer and you cannot run process in firefox (duh).

  I read every tip I could find.  I have copied a few new dll on the computer file, made a clean boot, deleted all antivirus programs on the computer.  Can someone help me please?  It could very well be linked to the problem of he I n opening pop-up windows or Active X.

  Thanks in advance.

• Cannot install Windows Vista Service Pack 2. The following error message appears: 0X800707d1

  Hello

  Three years ago, I bought a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. Never met a problem until I tried to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2. I already followed each step instructions Support of Microsoft issues Service Pack for any result or solution. In these cases, I have downloaded the pack update directly from the wepage of Windows Vista, installed Windows Update Readiness Tool, disabled my antivirus (McAfee) and came up with nothing. I even tried to install this update in Mode safe but also failed to install Service Pack 2.

  What is happening all the time, is that I double click on archive downloaded in order to install (having already started my computer in Mode safe mode with networking reportoire and disabled the antivirus as well as its firewall). The Service Pack window opens and I click 'Next' for all the necessary instructions, including 'the computer automatically restarts. When the toolbar installation is completed, the computer automatically goes to restart itself. 3 steps appear as a requirement for the completion of the installation process. All goes well until he reaches "step 3 of 3:100% finished. Do not turn off your computer. After about ten minutes of stall in this step, the following message appears on the screen: "the Service Pack cannot be installed, returning from changes. Do not turn off your computer.

  The computer then rolls back all the changes and initiated in the normal state. After the opening, the first window that appears displays the following message: "the specific driver is not valid. "(Details): error: ERROR_BAD_DRIVER (0x800707d1). I proceeded to check and update alone driver of my computer, then try again to install the Windows Vista SP2 and all the operation has been a failure. I was cracking my head trying to solve this particular problem, and each time the same error pops up. I am seriously considering reformatting Windows Vista from manufacturer CD from my Dell, but I don't know if that would help.

  If someone could help or advise with everything that I would appreciate it a lot.

  Kind regards

  Rodrigo

• Downgraded to XP: now cannot read DVDs (not installed dvd decoder) for dv2000 CTO

  I just installed a new hard drive and Windows XP Professional 64-bit. My computer is a laptop Pavillion dv2000 CTO. Product # is RU769UA. After installing the new OS (it was originally installed with vista home), I found that my sound does not work. I tried to install all or most of the drivers for my model, some who have been for vista has failed. AFAIK, the drivers that worked was installing (sound)... but I'm not entirely sure. I am empty and could really use some help with this. It's my last problem with this computer. >.

  Edit: And I just realized that I can't play DVDs without having this error message - "Windows media player cannot play this DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

  Thanks its working now!

  But I still have problems with DVD playback... I am out of the dvd decoder and can not find the download for just a dvd decoder. I downloaded a few media players but all still not allow me to read the actual DVD disc. I've already spent too much money on this computer and I really can't afford to buy any additional software. Is it possible for me to find the decoder correct drivers/dvd for free?

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.
