DVD can be read is no longer on my windows vista in my Media Player

I tried to play a dvd on my computer the other day, and while the computer could recognize it as a dvd, it would not play. Windows media player or the standard dvd player program would allow the dvd play. Other media online will play on my computer so I don't think that the software is not up-to-date it is possible to regain the ability to wach DVD on my computer?

Hello

1. is the issue limited with only a particular DVD?

2 have you tried to play the DVDs in your system?

3. what version of Media player do you use?

4. Since when are you facing the issue?

5. you did it before the issue of any material changes or software?

Please see the following article:

    Hello

    If you have a product key on a sticker in your computer, this means that you have an OEM product key. If you have OEM keys, this means that the windows you have here is preinstalled.

    If you reinstall windows OEM copy, you must use either the original manufacturer recovery disk or the recovery partition. If you use one of the people, should not be put to any start-up because the windows OEM versions are technically preactivated.

    If you don't have a disc or a recovery partition, you can contact your OEM (DELL) so that they can send you a disk. Alternatively, you can contact Microsoft Support just in case. : D

    How to remove safely remove the icon of the DVD RW AD ATA device optiarc 7561 taskbar for windows vista

    Hello Mark G,.

    I think that Christopher was referring to right click on the remove safely icon on the taskbar and choosing then to remove it safely.

    Otherwise, this may be a feature of the device driver and the device manufacturer may be able to tell how.

    The issue here is not one of which version of Windows you are using.
    It is one of what you have installed applications.
     
    The answer is Yes, if you have WordPerfect (or some compatible)
    program) installed on Windows Vista. The answer is no, if you do not.

    2. type cmd and click with the right button on cmd.exe to select run as administrator.
    3. Enter the following text.

    bcdedit [{ID}] /deletevalue datatatype

    The {ID} is the GUID associated with the start-up input. If you do not specify a {ID}, the command changes the current operating system boot entry. If a boot entry is specified, the GUID associated with the start-up input must be enclosed in braces {}. To view the GUIDs for all active startup entries, use the bcdedit/enum command.

  • I can't install Adobe Reader 10.1.04 on my Windows Vista computer

    I was unable to install Adobe Reader on my laptop Toshiba 32-bit of Windows Vista (SP1) and it would be really grateful for the help.

    Here is the error message I get:

    Error 1402. Could not open key: UNKNOWN\.api\AcroExch.Plugin\ShellNew. Check that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support team.

    Here is a brief history of what I tried already:

    # 1 AdbeRdr1014_en_US.exe downloaded as stand-alone file several times from different servers and sites.

    # 2 uninstalled Adobe Reader 9.0

    # 3 Ran AdbeArCleaner.exe several times to remove ANY version of Acrobat or Reader perious.

    # 4 open each of my 4 browsers, the latest version of IE, Opera, Firefox and Chrome, looked for Plugins or Add Ons and deleted ALL associated Adobe apps except Flash.

    # 5 Open Control Panel, programs, versions searched and deleted ALL of Acro fast player or quick recorder.

    # 6 Ran Norton Utilities Registry Clean several times.

    # 7 when you try to install the 10.1.04 drive I had ALREADY received this error message:

    Error 1402.Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\AcroExch.Document\Shell\Open\Command. Check that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support team.

    However, after using the cleaning of Adobe tool, I had is no longer this error.

    # 8 I also disabled my A - V program over all attempts to install Kaspersky PURE 2.0.

    The reason why I wanted to update to Adobe Reader 10 was that Kaspersky did a vulnerability check indicating:

    "Adobe Reader/Acrobat multiple vulnerabilities.

    See: http://www.SecureList.com/en/advisories/47133/?function=advisories & VN = 47133

    Solution has been updated to version 10.1.2 (or higher).

    Now, I can't open it. PDF files. I can't find the so-called Plugin that causes the installation to stop. The installation of the 10.1.04 reader happens to approximately 96% complete, then fails and restores.

    # 9 is there an easy solution, such as a tool that autyomatically will remove any corresponding registry key, or apply the correct administrative attributes for the registry keys? If this is not the case, can you please talk me through this step by step. I never been so confused or frustrated by an upgrade of the software, what I thought would be a simple task.

    THANKS in advance for your help is very appreciated.

    See you soon,.

    These complex issues frequently occur?

    No, not with Adobe Reader.   In fact, the Acrobat cleaning tool should have taken care of that.  But it's a question that I see from time to time in the forum of Flash Player.  Unfortunately this installer doesn't tell us what key is the origin of the problem.

    • Download the attached file reset_ar10.bat and unzip it in the same folder as SubInACL is installed ('C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools' or ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \...) If you are on a 64-bit system)
    • Run the file to extract from reset_ar10.bat (I just noticed that there are not run as administrator from the context menu)
