• Why my DVD player will not see the disc of Windows 7 Installation?

  The TEAC DV-W58E DVD on my Dimension PC drive will play videos and games and will read and write data on DVD.

  Why he won't see the Windows 7 Installation disc that has delivered today? It's the only drive, that he has never read. He don't think that the drive is empty, sees just 0 used bytes, free 0 bytes.

  The drive is seen by the two other PCs but not one I want to install W7 on.

  My PC runs XP Professional and the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor test and is up-to-date with Windows Update and has the latest driver for the DVD drive.

  I can't install the new operating system unless I can get the PC to read the disc.

  • 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit), this excludes most INTEL 815 chipset

  Something strange happen to my DVD player. I tried to burn a blank DVD but it failed without any error message: the DVD has not been recognized. Since then the DVD player will not only read one of my other burned DVD that I need for my daily work. Can anyone help?

• Error: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player can not support the Codec that was used to compress the file, MP3 downloads will not play

  Original title: MP3 downloads don't play no not on WMP

  My Windows Media Player recently stopped playing downloads from Amazon. I've never had this problem before. I installed VLC Player, has not worked... off the WMP in the Windows app, restarted, turned on the back and restarted... did not help. I get the message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player may not support the Codec used to compress the file. This is for multiple downloads, so I don't think they would be all corrupted files.

  Hello
   
  Have you done any software or changes to the material on the computer before this problem?
   
  You mentioned that the files do not play on a third-party player as well. I suggest you to check if the files are corrupt.

• DVD player not recognized after the upgrade to windows 8

  I write this to document some odd behavior, that I lived after the upgrade to Windows 8 in the hope that it might save some grief for others.  Of course, if someone could explain why this problem occurs, I'd be very interested/grateful for an answer.

  I recently updated my computer from Vista Ultimate to Windows 8.  I did a clean install of Windows 8, because there is nothing special about the machine I wanted to preserve.  In all cases, the upgrade went without a hitch and I was soon back up with Windows 8 as my OS (I really like, btw).

  The only oddity I noticed after the upgrade is that my DVD drive was not recognized by the operating system.  Remember, this is the same DVD player that was used to install the OS, so I found it rather peculiar.  After a bit of lost time, try software solutions theoretical I started to play with the equipment.

  My motherboard is an ASUS M3A78-EM.  My hard drive is attached to the SATA1 port and my DVD player is plugged into the SATA2 port.  I removed the DVD drive from SATA2, plugged into SATA3, restart Windows 8 (from HDD on SATA1) and Windows 8 now recognizes the drive!

  I thought it was really weird, so I stop, put the DVD on SATA2 drive, rebooted, and the drive was no longer available in Windows 8.

  OK, so I thought that maybe the SATA2 channel was bad (even if he had worked at the Windows 8 DVD installation, just an hour or two before), so I put my HDD on SATA2 and the DVD drive on SATA1.  After doing this, Windows 8 start very well (so there is nothing wrong with SATA2), and it recognizes the DVD on the SATA1 drive.

  OK, so I did that for a while, and virtually all combinations I tried worked as long as the DVD player is not plugged in SATA2.

  I cannot live with that, but thought it was really strange.  Also, I note that the old operating system (Vista) was acknowledging the same DVD player while it was plugged on SATA2.  This leads me to believe that the problem has something to do with Windows 8, but I can't imagine what could be the cause.

  Thanks dude.  After you create this registry key/value and restart Windows 8 was able to finally see my DVD drive on SATA2.  =)

• DVD player stopped working after the installation of 12 items

  First, I loaded the disc DVD in the drive and tried several times to install 12 elements.  Whenever the program has been installed the computer would start flashing and the dvd drive may stop working. Every time I had to use a PIN to eject the DVD because it would not eject.  It worked well before its installation to 12 items. After that the program was finally installed dvd player worked.  But the program would be closed when you use it too often.  I finally just deleted the program of 12 items on my computer and install it on another system.  It's been a while since the abolition of the program from my computer. Tonight, I reinstalled the program Adobe 12 elements with the dvd drive works fine.  Trying to install the program, all loaded fine.  Then once more, the dvd drive eject nor does any work.  What happened several times with 12 elements of loading on my computer.  It is a real pain.  Now the DVD drive doesn't work, or eject.  Can someone help me out here?  It sucks. The other computer works fine.  It is a HP Pavilion, Windows 7 Home Premium system.

  Computer was off all night. Turned on this morning and the system works now.  I rebooted the system, at least six times last night with no result. I don't know what was different this morning, but everything seems to work.  So if it's not broken I will not try to fix it.  Thanks for posting. Dan
