DVD playback does not--a decoder compatible DVD is not installed

Hi responds to Microsoft
When I put the DVD in the computer, the following error message came

Windows media player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.  Upgrade to Windows 7.

Does this mean I have to upgrade to windows 7 to play a DVD?

Thank you
JO S.

FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

If you could play before commercial video DVD...
do a system restore to a time before this started
may be your solution.

Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Info about DVD decoders:
Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
media players:

VLC Media Player

(works on XP/Vista/7)

Media Player Classic Home Cinema
http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
(works on XP/Vista/7)

Or... you can try to download and install one of the
Following codec packs.

(FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
point before installing any software or updates).

* Proceed at your own risk *.

(1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

    So I have an update for my toshiba Satellite P50B-103 for "cyberlink powerdvd" and it does not install, just to unpack and does nothing.

    I left the laptop to operate for about an hour to see if anything installed but it does not, what to do?

    Are you talking about the video player updated v 6.1.2.1 - A available on the Toshiba UE driver page?

    It is an update and requires the Player preinstalled (full version).

    After downloading, you will need to unzip the package (vidpl-20140813100353)
    Then, in the vidpl-20140813100353 package, you will find the TC30704300A.exe file.
    It is also a zipped folder. Right click on TC30704300A.exe and extract the files.
    After that, you will get the TC30704300A containing various additional files where you can start the update process.

    That means you are trying to install a WLAN PCMICA card or have I misunderstood something?

    Well, I doubt it is a Toshiba related issue and you should contact this PCMCIA card making.

    What you can do is to check the Device Manager if there are yellow exclamations points. Usually, the PCMCIA card must be properly and then you will find WLAN networks in range.

    (A few small issues suchas as necessary before installing the display driver, but all Bios Update worked fine)

    But the display of the Toshiba site driver does not install anything? Catalyst still not...
    Just get the request to confirm if I want to install the product and then nothing...

    Tried the two drivers offered from the 19/02 and 26/02, but with the same result...
    Tried to install the driver directly from AMD announcement was a message my card was not supported

    Hello

    The driver that you downloaded is a zip package.
    Unzip everything first.
    Then you will see a single .exe file in the unzipped folder.
    This exe file is also a package.
    Therefore, unzip the .exe file too.
    Right click on the exe file and select unpack here
    Now, you will have access to the files together. Now choose Setup.exe or Install.exe

  • HP 7 G2 Dose does not install apps on SD card

    I recently that Got a HP HP TAB 7 G2 and it dose not allow me to install apps on SD card.

    I have read and found that Android 4.4.2 dose does not install apps on SD card on HP tabs.

    Y at - it another way I can do it, or I can hope an update or update Android 5.0 will allow me to do.

    I like to play games on the TAB and can install only 1 or 2 big games due to the lack of internal memory (4 GB).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey @ApoorvMishra ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand you are trying to install apps on your SD card instead of internal storage.

    Unfortunately, this is not a feature available on any Android device that does not have root access.

    There are methods available, but most require rooting the device, or by using the APKs HP could not support or encourage.

    Thank you.

  • Microsoft Update for hp LaserJet 3015 PCL 5 driver does not install in Windows 7

    I use Windows 7 update.
    Microsoft Update for hp LaserJet 3015 PCL 5 driver does not install. He says 1 optional update is available almost every day, then when I try to install, it does not install and it says that the update is not necessary. Even once when I check updates, it says 1 optional update for the printer is available from Microsoft. And the story continues. I tried to reinstall the optional update, but the same problem persists perennielly

    Looking for HP for the pilot because it is better to get these live drivers from the manufacturer. TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2010 - Update Services

    No, these aren't the droids, uh, I mean the drivers he was looking for.

    In fact, it's better to get the new drivers from the HP website, you will notice the link you provided that the options only are available for this printer under Windows 7 drivers universal. I regularly have problems with universal drivers and strongly recommend to avoid as much as possible.

    I agree with the question of the original poster, which, after more than two years, remains unanswered by Microsoft. It seems that MS has a driver PCL 5 (not universal) updated specific 3015, but it fails to install the Windows Update control panel. I finally gave up on it, right click on the update and selected the option to hide it from view.

    Why bother with a solution when I use the button "Sweep-It-under-the-carpet" practice of Microsoft?

    Hi StSz,

    1. What is the service pack installed on the computer?

    This problem occurs if a previous Windows Update process did not cause the computer to be in a corrupted state. This prevents the installation of any language pack.

    I suggest that you reset the Windows Update components and you try to install the pack of language, to check if it works.

    How to reset the Windows Update components?

  • Microsoft Office Publisher KB980470 update does not install!

    KB980470 update does not install!

    Tried several times for 2 or 3 days...

    o here are the steps I took... which I think should work:

    (1) go to the Microsoft Download Center:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
    (2) look for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB974234)
    3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run. I think you have to accept an agreement, then click on continue or OK
    4) repeat for all downloads that you can not install
    (5) run Microsoft Update new and click search the updates and if updates have been installed successfully, they should no longer appear in the updates that must be installed.

    I don't know if it is not relevant or if it helped me succeed to install updates manually, but before I manually installed my updates I followed the instructions David_O posted under this threadhttp://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/f3390e74-9961-4aae-8a05-554c1a9cf1a2?prof=required&lc=1033 . I suggest that first of all try to download manually by following my directions. If it does not, then it's a possibility instructions of David resolved an issue that allowed me to download them manually disable Microsoft downloads site.

    I can't believe all the research and the suggestions of the technicians did not work... sometimes your own research is the best!

    I hope this helps! Good luck!

  • code KB9811433 646 and KB981715 does not install

    code KB9811433 646 and KB981715 does not install

    Sorry, you have problems getting your patches installed. I have a number of things for you to look at.  First of all, your Background Intelligent Transfer Services set to Automaticand started and Windows Update ? You can check these settings by typing services.msc in the search box of the start menu.

    Sometimes in order to get patches to install correctly, you must perform these tasks manually.

    (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.
    (2) search for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309).
    3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run.  You must accept the agreement and then click on continue.
    (4) repeat this process for each download of updates Windows could not install.
    (5) to rerun the update from Microsoft, click find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

    If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or erase viruses can prevent the installation of patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm. Click full service scan, and then Quick scan (full scan takes a long time to complete). Try the patches.
