Code 19 on my dvd player?

Hello microsoft forums,.

Last night I tried to play a DVD in my Dvd Player.  It would not work and does not appear in the computer so I tried several other discs.  I went into Device Manager on my driver and it says:

" Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)


Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. »

I tried searching for solutions, but it did not work.  I also tried to upgrade and relocation.

I do not use my DVD player very often and the last time I remember it works is a few months ago, so I can't use system restore.

Help is appreciated, thanks.

  • Satellite U400 - failed to create the recovery disk - bad DVD player?

    Hi all

    I have a 13 inch Satellite U400.
    Due to problems with my Softkeys, lighting and hibernation status (any help on thos would also be useful) I want to create a recovery DVDs with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    The thing is: it starts when I have a CD in the DVD drive, but as soon as I put a DVD in (what is needed), it gives me an errormessage that said something like 'another application is using this drive or no disc recording where found in the laptop. 0D00E4-F0-00000000 error code).

    My DVD player does not work properly, I can play movies and the drivers and the status is ok too.
    I noticed, that error code changes, but I don't know how to get the recovery disk creator will.

    What can I do? Change something in the registry?
    I don't know what happened on my laptop, I bought a few months ago - new. I guess that, reset everything would bring my softkeys, lighting and hibernation status back.

    So, if someone nows how to work at least one of the problems, please give me advice.

    Thanks in advance,

    wiglip

    Hello

    Did you create virtual CD/DVD drives with special software? If so, remove the software completely. In addition, if you have installed burning, programs, you should check if they will be started when Windows starts and if so, disable the beginning upward. So go to start > run > msconfig > start. Here, you can disable the start of burning software (for example Nero, CD Burner XP, etc.).

    And what DVD are you using for burning? I have good experiences with DVD - R Verbatim and TDK discs. These are high-quality discs and you should try it too!

    Last but not least, you need to remove the upper and lower registry filters. It is always advisable to the problems of the CD/DVD drive:
    (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
    2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart.

    Depending on your problem with the keys to enlightenment that you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This determines the buttons of enlightenment, FN keys and other special functions on your laptop. I had a similar problem with my Qosmio F50 illumination buttons and I posted something on this subject in the Qosmio forum that you should try it too!

  • DVD player not working not not Satellite Pro A100 - Code 37 error

    Hello

    Someone help on this?

    I have an A-100 and the DVD player has stopped working in XP. I checked the Device Manager and see XP disc but returns this error "Windows cannot initialize the device of this hardware driver. (Code 37) »

    I also noticed that ASAPI.sys is not running in the Task Manager.

    I'm guessing this has something to do with the problem.

    I tried to reinstall the device drivers, but this made no difference. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Error code 37 means the driver returned failure from its DriverEntry routine.
    You can try to delete the driver from Device Manager and rebooted the new OS should recognize the drive device and initialize the driver again.

    If this is not enough, try this procedure:
    Run REGEDIT and open the following folders:

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

    After you click {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} you should see two settings on the right side:
    "Upperfilters".
    'Lowerfilters '.

    Click on each of them, press DELETE, and then click YES.

    Then restart the laptop and see if it was useful.

  • Region code of the DVD player

    The DVD on my Pavilion A1375A Media Center PC drive is set to region 1 - I am in Australia (region 4).

    I can't set it to region 4.

    I asked HP to sell me a new DVD player, but they do not know what the new discs region code will be and asked that I contact Microsoft and ask:

    (a) area code would change once a factory of re - configure?

    (b) what would be the new replacement drive region code?

    It seems strange to me that HP can't?

    Hoping someone can help,

  • DVD player not recognized; error code 10

    Our Museum has a Dell Optiplex 745 on which the XP operating system has been replaced by Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD drive is not recognized, and the error code 10 stipulates that the driver could not be loaded.  I tried upgrading the driver online, but I was told that the driver installed is the right one for this player.  If I remove the drive with the machine on, uninstall the driver, stop and then restart and then restarting to reinsert the DVD, the computer recognizes the drive and install it and it works.  When you restart the computer the next morning, the car disappeared again.  Would appreciate any help I can get!

    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
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

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

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • Does anyone know how to unlock region on a CD-ROM DVD player codes?

    Does anyone know how to unlock region on a CD-ROM DVD player codes?  I have this stupid Windows 8 and so far I only have PowerDVD. But I also have windows media player.  I am trying to get Windows Media Player to access the DVD that I used for Windows 7, but whenever I stick one in this computer stupid, by default it starts to Power DVD.

    According to the power dvd faq: "the limit is in accordance with the requirements specified by the major movie studios. PowerDVD allows you to change the codes of the region up to 5 times (also depending on your DVD player) and then automatically record fifth region code setting. Subsequently, you can only play DVD titles in the fifth code region or non - CSS all regions DVD titles. Area code will remain locked even if you reinstall PowerDVD. »

    Is there by chance a legal way around this? I wish I could watch my DVDs on my laptop when I want without locking on my other. I don't do anything illegal as piracy of DVDs, I just want to be able to watch them. Could someone please? Thanks in advance.

    Use another program like VLC player or Potplayer.

    It's by design, not much you can do about it. He was there for Vista/XP

    Otherwise, you will have to Flash a hack of firmware for this DVD region
