DVD movies do not appear on my external projector

I'm running a Satellite S1410-604 with Windows XP and a Sony projector. Everything works fine until I try to play DVDs through the laptop. The playing area shows on the computer monitor, but there is just black space on the projection screen. This is true both Win Media Player 10 and WinDVD.

Someone told me to try to adjust the parameters of acceleration on the computer desk/display, but it made no difference. I also tried a proj of different data, but the results are the same. Any ideas?

Hello John

I'm sure that you start the movie and try to switch to external projector. As I know it is not possible to switch to an external device if the DVD player is running. Please try to switch to external projector using the FN + F5 key combination. If you can see the desktop on the wall, start the DVD player.

Good bye

    Hey Micky,

  • My DVD drive does not appear in Windows Explorer

    This morning my computer ran a scan virus and other things, and when this was done, my computer will not respond to any type of CD.  No DVD, CD or even disks with files stored on them.
    When I open windows Explorer, the drive from DVD (e) is not even more appear.  I was wondering how to fix this.

    Hello

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    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

    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.

  • My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers.

    My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers, most of the time.  Every now and then it will be visible and I can use it but 90% of the time it does not exist.  I tried the regedit fix, nothing.  I tried the program Microsoft Fix It, it tells me it cannot locate a DVD/ROM.  I removed, cleaned and reinserted my DVD/ROM drive, but no difference.  I tried everything, except the upgrade to Windows 7... who will be my last resort.

    Hello gargoyle28m,

    If your hardware is not detected to upgrade to Windows 7 is not a resolution. This issue may be caused if the DVD drive is faulty or connections loose on the mother board. You may need to check the connections. I suggest you check if the DVD drive works on another computer. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help you with this problem.

  • CD/DVD-ROM problems, drive not detected AND the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager

    I'm having serious problems here. My CD/DVD-ROM drive is not detected and will not answer. I can ONLY open the drawer at the beginning of my computer laptop startup. The drive does not appear in my computer and the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager. Therefore, the "uninstall/reinstall" is impossible if the computer behaves as it has never been this drive now or never. Previously, I was able to use it as there was no problem, but someday, it's simply not there.

  • DVD drive does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.

    I lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the screen of the reader 'computer '.
    It starts with a disc inserted, but stops after about 20 seconds without opening all files.
    The DVD comes on when it starts first and then turns off after a few seconds.
    I have re-installed the driver of Toshiba and still no access.

    I think it all started when I installed a new WD 1 TB external hard drive which its virtual CD drive on the E: drive, which was used by the installation DVD player. I moved the external hard drive G: and drive E: letter has left vacant, but still does not work.

    Any ideas how I can fix this problem? It would be greatly appreciated.

  • CD/DVD drive does not appear in Windows 8

    My CD/DVD drive no longer appears in Windows Explorer in point 8.1 of Windows on my desktop HP Pavilion Slimline 400-034. The disc rotates during startup. I tried the troubleshooting of Microsoft Window 8 with no luck. I would try the HP troubleshooting which requires access BIOS when booting, but by pressing F10 at startup me does not BIOS but Windows load normally. Any suggestions to at least help me get the BIOS?

    Solved! No. thanks to HP. Even if I had never opened the file on my PC and make sure that the cable DVD could not be disconnected, I decided to look for. Much to my surprise, he has been disconnected - but not by me - by a HP technician. I remembered that I had to return the PC to HP to replace the power supply warranty in June 2014. Not only have they not reconnect the cable SATA DVD, they put the cable from the hard drive in the MB connector where the DVD cable was supposed to be. After trial and error and insert the DVD cable in the 3 open SATA connectors with no luck, and finally move the cable from the hard drive to another connector and put the cable DVD where the cable from the hard drive was, the DVD has been recognized by Windows and working correctly. Thanks to HP for the many hours I lost to try to correct their mistake.

  • My CD/DVD drive will not appear in the Device Manager, but present in the BIOS.

    DevCon didn't find it. It will not open even if I don't get to Device Manager and check for changes to the system. I deleted the registry entries upper and lower limit. Any other suggestions? For additional emphasis, he does not show even in the Manager of devices so I cannot restore or reinstall the drivers from there. It might also help that I use Vista Home Premium on a Compaq Presario F755us.

    Hello

    (1) does the BIOS see the main hard disk drive or a secondary hard drive?

    (2) remember to make changes to the computer before the show?

    You know may not be not that most systems are set to show only the splash screen. If you go into the BIOS Setup, it should show the disks that have been detected on two primary and secondary IDE channels.

    Note: the basic procedure to change the setting of the disk controller is to restart your computer and enter the system BIOS. The most common method is to press F2 to enter Setup, (another PC may use a different key). On the BIOS screen, find the setting that offers the AHCI, ATA or IDE and RAID. If the parameter is set to AHCI, change the setting to ATA. Restart the PC on the Windows installation disc

    Warning: Incorrect settings in the system BIOS can cause your PC function incorrectly. If you are not familiar with the configuration of the BIOS of the system, you must contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.

  • DVD player does not appear error - the driver may be corrupted or missing. Code 39, fix the driver installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

    Original title: drive does not appear, difficulty he pilot installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

    A few weeks ago, as my two DVD players (the two Samsung Lightscribe SH-S223Q of) disappeared after a repair installed, I did for the other problems (not sure if it was directly after installation because I don't notice it right away, but it was no doubt). In Device Manager, it gives the message:

    "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

    I tried the Microsoft Fix It tool (Mats_Run.dvd.exe) that detects the problem and says "Install device driver" in a popup, but then he says "software device driver failed to installed. At the end it says under the issue, the "CD/DVD drive is not detected" and the status of Fix 'not set '. Note that, when I boot from another hard drive (with Vista 64 on it installed from the same DVD, just a new installation) disks appear very well. Also I can boot from the drive as well.

    I can't do a repair installation, since it must initiate Windows, and I can't load the disc. I tried to update my BIOS but that has no effect.

    Recently I actually moved this hard drive to another one, with another brand of hard drive and all the rest. Just like before, if I boot from another hard drive (this one with Windows 7), the drive unit-a Optiarc AD-7230 s - looks and works, and I can also boot from the drive at startup. But since the drive hard as I want to use, the drive does not appear. Fix it, etc. Device Manager gives the same messages as before.

    I tried virtual drives - Daemon Tools Lite and Virtual Clonedrive. When I try to add virtual devices to help, nothing happens. The new drive will be displayed in the Manager of devices, but with the same error Code 39 as the real drive.

    What are my options at this point? How can I get the drive to appear or to fix my copy of Windows?

    I could solve this problem. I started in Ubuntu and deleted the existing cdrom.sys, cdrom.inf etc. files (as in Windows, they were protected and I couldn't delete them), then I copied the files from another installation of Vista I had on another hard drive. After having done that, I updated the drivers in device, disabled/enabled readers and readers management that presented themselves.

  • Option machine to burn DVD movie is not available on Windows 8

    Hello! I have a question! I installed 8 window and created something on Windows Movie Maker. Normally in Windows 7, I can just go ahead and burn the DVD out, but Windows 8 do not have this function... What can I do?

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-windows_install/i-cant-burn-a-DVD-of-Windows-8-upgrade/aa3ee8e9-5e32-4f72-ABF2-339ab6b78002 >

    To clarify once again, for anyone who is confused.

    You can simply burn a video file to a DVD using Windows disc. But this creates a data DVD. If your DVD player (or maybe the Blu - ray player) is able to understand the file in this format, he could play, but you would see if your player can do.

    A video DVD (playable on a DVD player standard one) requires a specific structure and the video format. Specifically, you need a TS_VIDEO folder with your video encoded in MPEG-2 format in the .vob files. Then, there are several support files (.ifo and .bup files). It is the standard defined by the DVD standards Committee.

    3 rd-party software that will even create a video DVD in the right format (sometimes with menus, menus of scenes, etc.), but you'll have to search around. For example, Freemake Video Converter is a program that I used to create a video DVD from base. As with any freeware 3 rd-party, always choose a custom installation, because they tend to try to install add-ons you want.

    As to why Windows DVD Maker is not supported on Windows 8/8.1, I have to assume there are many reasons why Microsoft chose to drop support.

    1. The video DVD format is a legacy format that manages only the standard definition video (NTSC 480 p). It supports HD resolutions.
    2. It costs money to buy the MPEG-2 codec on each copy of Windows which must be paid by Microsoft or included in the cost of each consumer copy of license.
    3. There are better options for video sharing (online services like YouTube, Vimeo, OneDrive, etc.) compared to sending a physical disk.
    4. There are better ways of video archiving, on optical media, such as a DVD.
    5. There are video streaming solutions in a House for a computer acting as a media server rather than having to insert a physical disc on a DVD player. And these solutions support HD video, not just SD video legacy.
    6. Even their competitors (Apple, for example) is more understood iDVD with copies of their operating systems.

    I don't know about you, since I am just a user companions of the Windows Movie Maker, but that's what I guess could be a reason.

  • P200 DVD player does not appear an image with the Toshiba software.

    Hello

    I just posted this question a few hours before, but it seems to have disappeared from the forum, so go again us.

    When I use the Toshiba Software to play a DVD, I get no image, although the interface commands and the sound is very good. The DVD player is fine when I use Windows Media player. This problem suddenly started a few days ago.

    Surely, it is a software problem, as the DVD player would not work with Windows Media Player otherwise. However, I wonder why the software would suddenly stop working.

    Any suggestions?

    Thannks,

    Rich

    PS I tried to update the software as someone suggested before the last thread has disappeared, but Vista stated that the new version is older than the current version, I despite the fact that last year, I bought this pc, and the most recent version is dated to this year. Strange.

    So I have not all the gifts that have been installed on the laptop like new. Now, I find that the dvd drive is not displayed in my computer and nothing happens when I insert the disc.

    This has happened a couple of days and I did a restore of the system to a previous restore point.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem.

    I also do not have the secure egis - any ideas how to get this back

    Then... your DVD is probably defective.

    did you check in the BIOS if it is listed on bootable devices?

    Press F2 at startup, if it is not listed, it is defective.
