Dvd - HP m7674n DVD player, DVD RW plays not

My DVD at some point playing the DVD, some would play, others would not. Only delaing with a regular dvd format. I tried to update the driver through HP and receipt of 0 x 80040707 issues, but I don't think that even has todo with the dvd player, dvd playback. Now, the player does not start.

    Have you installed Windows 7 device drivers for your make and model. If this is not the case, then go to the support web site factory and download Windows 7 drivers to a folder on your PC and then first install the drivers for the card mother/chipset, followed by USB, SATA, LAN, Audio and all other pilots.

    Find the website of your computer manufacturer support.

    BIOS updates: you should check to see if there was one, or sometimes several updates BIOS for the motherboard. Read (if provided) which solves the update. Sometimes a newer BIOS update will fix the problem. Read the instructions on how to your BIOS update/flash very carefully and be more you understand the process. There is a risk of a bad flash/update occurs which can make your system unbootable.

    Also check the download site of the manufacture of the graphics card for the latest Windows 7 drivers for your card.

  • MP3 player won't play not through the Mic - NB 550 d

    Hello

    MP3 player will not play to Mic Jack. Is it because I don't have DD Realtek Audio Manager Setup correctly?

    Also is it possible to play MP3 via a USB Port

    Hello

    What cell phone do you have?
    The mic jack records the audio signal. But I guess you want to use the mic line-in socket. Right?
    Usually, you need to set the default device in the recording tab.
    In Control Panel-> sound-> recording tab.

    If you don't see me not all other devices but only mic jack then you must right-click and should allow the options; Show hidden devices and show disabled devices.
    Maybe then, you can enable line.

    Otherwise, this option is not available and is not possible

  • DVD player won't play a movie made with movie maker

    I downloaded the movie maker and made the movie to mpeg and jpg saved on my computer to my Sony cybershot camera. He burned first to a DVD-R and nothing. So I saved a copy on my computer then burn a copy on a CD - R. Now, when I put the CD or the DVD-R in my Portable DVD player it must play fair? No, it's the 'bad disk '. When I put in another DVD player attached to my TV they return "not found no file supported" for CD - R and the 'bad disc' on the DVD-R. So neither my old portable DVD player or most recent DVD drive attached to the TV will play one of them.  I know the movies is on their as when I stick to the computer, Windows Media Player plays automatically. Even with the DVD-R. So, this is the DVD drive laptop who can not read or what I am doing wrong?

    What you were doing only works if you play the CD or DVD on the SAME computer that the movie has been created.

    It will NOT pay in another computer, it won't play in any DVD player.

    What you need is to burn pictures on a DVD Maker, not a "movie maker".

    Issues related to the:

    1. what type of operating system are you using?

    2. in addition to the #1 question... Why did you have to 'download' a movie maker?

    3. If you want to burn a DVD movie (not), you'll need a DVD Maker, not a Movie Maker.

    What you had described, the DVD movie you will play only on the same computer that created the film.

    He will not play in another computer.
    He won't play in any DVD player.

    For your information...

    Vista has Windows Movie Maker included.  Creating Windows DVD is only available for Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium.

    Windows 7 should install Windows Live Essentials, which provides programs of your choice, i.e. Windows live Movie Maker and Windows Live DVD Maker, among others.

  • Why isn't Windows Media Player DVD more play?

    I played DVD on my Windows XP Home edition before, he always played them very well, but then suddenly it stopped reading DVDs, everytime I put a DVD in (from the same DVD I used to play on the computer), all I get is a message that reads as follows:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer."

    I don't know why he does not play the most, I've tried it on WinDVD and it only plays DVD when the movie is opened its files (in other words, I have to go "Playlist" then select the DVD drive and open the video folder and open all video files to it to play the movie...) I would really apprecate that it if someone could help me with this issue, at least let me know how to fix or what happened to the decoder or what...

    PS: When I run " dvdupgrd / detect' to see my status as a DVD player, the window that appears named, detected DVD decoders reads:" "

    "No decoders found.
    W2K Upgrade = no
    Win9x Upgrade = no

  • I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

    DVD decoder not installed?

    I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
    A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?

    I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message.  Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.

    Thanks if anyone can help.

    Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.

    The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.

    Using Media Player version 10 or 11?

    the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert).   It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.

    because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)

    So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing.  Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.

    Have a great day!

    Windows xp does not come standard with a dvd decoder, so it must be installed. This would have been done by Dell when you purchased if you say that you did not.

    You have all the disks in Dell? If so, get through them dvd playing software, common are windvd or powerdvd.
