DVD drive on laptop does not work since the installation of Windows 8

The DVD player on my laptop would not consider movies since I installed Windows 8.  Any ideas what app or service should be addressed to make it work.  I don't know if it is a hardware problem (I doubt it, it worked fine before) or a video software problem.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, Windows 8 does not natively support playback of DVD movies.  You need to install a Windows Media Center (no player) or a 3rd party application.

I recommend VLC - a free, open-source media player.  It will play DVD files immediately after installation.  Additional measures must be taken if you have a Blu - Ray player on your device.

    Hi Kushal

    Sorry to hear, by me, these two things do not seem to be connected. However, we can do many things...

    ----------

    1. If you can, restore the system to the date before the problems. It should solve the problems.

    ----------

    2 uninstalling drivers AMD and Cattalyst driver. Restart the computer and update of HP SAssistent, it is a friend more important your computer.

    ----------

    3. If you had already done so, download and run your computer support page chipset drivers - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5422962#N222

    You need drivers chipset right because it allows the operating system to show the correct name for the Intel hardware that is installed in the Microsoft Windows Device Manager.

  • Tecra M7 DVD: CD/DVD RAM drive does not work since the installation of Vista

    I did a clean install on my new Vista Ready M7. He had XP tablet in a first time, and the DVD player worked fine. In fact I used to install Vista (Home Premium).

    Now it doesn't work at all. It runs but does not read. Device Manager tells me impossible to start the device. Tried to update driver and he told me that he has the most uptodate pilot.

    Downloaded all the drivers from the Download Center of Tosh for upgrade of Vista of M7 (who got bluetooth, rotation etc. function properly the screen). But none of the downloads seems to be a driver for the DVD - Ram drive. He cannot find a driver anywhere else (including the Panasonic site).
    DVD player is Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 841 s

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    On the Toshiba driver page, you can find the DLA for Tecra m7.
    Have you tried to install the XP driver DVD-RAM since the Toshiba page on the Vista operating system?

    Maybe it'll market

    But listening the CD/DVD drive uses the current Microsoft drivers that are included in Vista or XP.
    This is why an additional driver should not be necessary!

    An additional proposal;
    Remove the drive from the Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop.
    After restarting again the OS should reinstall the drive and renew the software.

    Another tip:
    -Launch the registry
    -Choose the registry key;
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    -In the right pane, click UpperFilters and LowerFilters, and then click on remove.
    -Reboot the laptop

  • Hearing 5.5 does not work since the upgrade to Windows 10?

    Hearing of the charges u, and I need to work with the files load in the software too. But nothing else happens. It won't play, won't record, regardless of whether the file is passed to in the menu, a sequence of keys, or a button on the screen. I have re-installed the software: no change. I have uninstalled and reinstalled again: nothing.

    Help, please?

    Elegantly yours.

    Tom Fitzmorris

    [(informations personnelles par Email signatures et deles de renseignements personnels)-mod]

    I heard about 5.5 on Windows 10.

    The first thing I would check is that Windows and hearing are "accepting" on the audio interface (and pilots) to use and also things like rates and few sample depth.  We had a poster with CS6 yesterday who had a similar problem and going through and manually configure the interface card / audio itself sorted.  The upgrade to win 10 to reset everything, probably for video playback, at the expense of the audio recording.

    Your do not mention that you use as a sound card, so I can't be precise in what to do, but the first thing I would do is go to Windows Audio Control Panel and make sure that any sound card that you want to use is visible and selected by default for the recording and playback...  While in the audio control, also access advanced settings (recording and playback and make sure that the depth of rate and little run the settings you want.)

    If you have a card with its own software external sound, go there and set it up to match Windows.

    Finally, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware and make sure that the right device is set for recording and playback on the drop down menus.  Also, make sure that the "device class" is set to the right kind of driver for the audio interface you.  This will probably be Ms for an integrated sound card or to an external ASIO - but you'll have to work it yourself.  Apply all these changes, so I hope that things work out.

    If this is not the case, let us know the details of your system and the audio interface and maybe we can come up with other ideas.

  • 4500 wireless: HP Solutions Center does not work since the upgrade to windows 10

    Hello

    My solution Center no longer works since I've upgraded to windows 10.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the HP community @DJHar,

    I understand that the Solution Center Software no longer works since you have upgraded to Windows 10, and I wanted to reach out for help. I would say firstly under the HP printer install wizard for Windows, that will find the drivers and software for your Officejet 4500 Wireless and install the correct software for Windows 10. Try the software for access later, and it should work.

    Let me know the results!

  • Logitech speakers do not work since the installation of Windows 7 Home Premium

    Original title: audio help

    Installed 7 Home premium on the computer. Logitech x-530 speakers are registered and that they do not work. Saya no audio devices installed. These speakers do not come with usb at the back of the computer. Jaks only black, yellow and green in the audio ports. How can I make them work?

    Plug the green in your audio output.  Make sure the volume of your software is truned upward as well as your speaker volume.

    Your speakers are a dumb device - they have no need for anything whatsoever, but an audio to work on something output jack (probably can cling to an ipod) and something streaming for them.

If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
