CD and DVD player will not open or read

• DVD player will not open

  I am running Windows Vista 64-bit with all maintenance applied.  My computer has two DVD RW drives.  When I push the eject button physical on the drive, the tray opens for a while and then quits.  If I select "eject" on the graphic display (Windows Explorer), the behavior is the same - the tray opens for a while and then quits.

  Here's the new readers.  I just replaced them, since the old disks had the same problem, and I assumed the old disks were somewhat defective.

  If I just start the update of the BIOS, the problem goes away - I push the physical eject button, and the drawer opens and stays that way.  For this reason, I guess that the problem is not the faulty discs, but something that makes Windows.

  Hello

  It's my general troubleshooting Guide for problems of CD/DVD, and maybe it will help you with this unusual problem.

  Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you've done it before as it's often the total of the process which
  solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  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 loose 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
  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 burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

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

  Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
  Your player registry entries.

  Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
  other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

• Pavilion d4100y powers, but the monitor is blank and CD player will not open

  When I turned on the desktop computer today, it seemed to turn on, but nothing came on the monitor.  Normally, I can hear the disc turns, but it was pretty quiet.  I couldn't open the trays of CD player, even though he was technically under tension.  I tried to connect a different monitor with the same results.  I also tried the reinstallation of the material inside the desktop computer to make sure that everything had a secure connection.  No luck.  I tried to reset the BIOS with the keyboard steps (such as listed on hp.com), but I'm not sure that the keyboard has been recognized.

  I read a few other posts that mention replacing the power supply or the motherboard, but it wasn't a specific situation.  I would like suggestions.  Thank you.

  If the power supply fan is grinding so it's time for a new power supply.  Maybe it's time for the PC repair workshop local peek unless you want to try the repair yourself.

  These "How-to" articles could be useful.

• Windows Media Player 12 will not open or read CD/DVD

  Excuse me, I know that I posted earlier but I accidentally hit the wrong button and it says has answered my question and it was not. I had a virus on my computer and it was cleaned professionally. Now my windows media player will not open. He also will not play a cd/dvd or existing music files on my computer. The icon appears on the screen, but nothing happens when I try to open it. I can't do a system restore because there is nothing to restore, my computer was completely wiped out. Someone suggested this below "Disable media features" reboot and then turn on again. I tried already with no luck. I'm also totally updated everything I could find to put on my computer up-to-date.

  1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

  2. click on programs and features.

  3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

  4. look for the entry called multimedia features and extend it by using the symbol. +.

  5. uncheck the box for Windows Media Player.

  6. click on OK.

  7 restart the PC.

  8. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

  9. click on programs and features.

  10. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

  11 look for the entry called multimedia features and to extend it using the symbol +.

  12. check the box for Windows Media Player.

  13. click on OK.

  14. restart the PC.

  I was afraid of that - "Configuration parameters can be set wrongly."

  On google, there are a few reports of this error message and I couldn't find any that it is resolved. I hope that someone else will be "the chip" with a solution. I'm sorry.

  There are some media player FixIt who might want to try (I have not had your specific problem and Ive not run the FixIt so can't say for sure).

  You can try things like a SFC/scannow , that can help, but I doubt it. I guess it depends on what the virus.

  You could check that the virus is actually went in downloading, installing, free update (update in the Admin) and running a scan with Malwarebytes , but if it was 'cleaned professionally"should be deleted. But unfortunately things that his attack can still be altered.

  You could try a test, to create a new user account 'test' and the connection through that to see if WMP works from this account. for example, it can be your user profile that has been damaged. If this account works WMP then migrate your data everywhere...

  If all goes well, a WMP expert will come to the rescue.

  Check this location of registry for Upper and Lower filters...

  They will appear on the right after clicking on the location of Reg...

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

  Remove all entries found perhaps restore your disk, but can also cause something to stop working...

  Maybe you can identify the program causing the problem with the name of the filter and update...

  An example of this is iTunes... It uses a "GEAR" driver that can cause problems...

• My DVD player does not open when I click on the button

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.
  My DVD player does not open when I click on the button.

  I tried clicking on eject on the DVD drive icon in my computer and it comes up with an error message.
  I think I deleted the cookies the other day. Who would have something to do with the problem?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated that I really don't want to send my phone to a technician.

  Hello

  Try to manually open the CD/DVD drive.
  Near the eject button, you will find a small hole.

  You can use a small object like staple and could push gently into this hole.

  Usually, this should help to open the drive manually.

• How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

  How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

  I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

  What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

  I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

  Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

  Thank you all!

  Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

  Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.
