• Satellite P20: Device DVD Player reads only the DVD but cannot burn CD & DVD

  Hello

  I have a toshiba P20, and I'm having a lot of problems with it. One of them is my DVD UJ811. I don't really know what is happening, the drive was already replaced and a few weeks later, it was exactly like the front, and the service provider made me pay almost 70EUR for a budget of 400EUR rejected.

  I would like to know what really should do, I can't read the CD and I can not burn CD/DVDs, I can just read DVDs, nothing else.

  I have seen some forums on the net, too many people in the world has the same problem I have and I really need to know what is the best solution for me.
  Thank you

  Hello Rafael

  I'm very surprised by your post it here because I've used Satellite P20-303 (a red) about two years. Laptop is now used by my brother and it works perfectly. I don't really know what problems you have, but I never noticed anything suspicious. Up to now I removed the cooling Grill on the bottom twice to clean the unit, and that's all. After that laptop computer cleanup runs a lot more quiet then before.

  Back to ad: I have to be honest and say that I traded with TEAC DV - W22E DVD - rom. original drive was DVD - RW and TEAC DV-W22E DVD-RAM. My brother use it pretty extensively, but until now there is no problem at all.

  I don't really know what the service is doing, but if possible replace the drive TEAC one. I can tell you with certainty, it works very well. Moreover, according to the description of your problem, I am sure that the drive is faulty.
  You can replace one. It's very simple to do.

• my dvd player reads all movies what do I do to get it working.

  my dvd player reads all movies what do I do to get it working.

  I had this happen to my DVD player recently.  The problem was that the disc I was trying to see it used a copy protection system is not yet implemented by my DVD player.  Normally, I don't have the DVD player connected to the network, so he had not received the updates of the firmware since I bought the player.  After that I connected it, you download an update of the firmware and I could see the movie.

  My recommendation to you is to see if the manufacturer of the DVD drive has an update of the firmware of your player on the website of the company and, if so, has it, then test again.

• Qosmio F60 - BD DVD Player read DVD only if the theme is one of the aero themes

  I found that DVD Toshiba BD player will play only DVD if the windows theme is one of the aero themes.

  Personally I do not use aero.

  Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

  I can play the DVD using other software.
  The main attraction of using the Toshiba Software is it is the function of upconversion.

  Thank you.

  Hello hicham.

  This means that you use the DVD from Toshiba drive, but you can t without Aero theme Blu - ray game discs?

  In this case, I would recommend the DVD Player update. Just check for an update from Toshiba Web site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  Have you tested other players? Toshiba DVD player in my opinion is not important. I use VLC media player because he can play audio and video files more! :)

• D:\ is not a valid win32 application. CD/DVD drive reads music CDs, but no installation CD

  I recently reinstalled my Thinkpad T42.  After installing XP and install all updates, I tried to install Microsoft Office Pro 2003 by CD-ROM.  My CD/DVD is not able to read the CD and gives the following error D:\ is not a valid win32 application.  The drive can read music CDs and works correctly.  The Office 2003 installation cd is clean and works on other computers.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Yes, you are right logically.

  Now I see two sceenarios for the solution to analyze your clues:

  Number 1: Technically on the media (e.g - CD/DVD) in what place (at level nm) is the setup.exe, which might be a little corrupted or overburn.

  To read the corrupted or overburn data recording Media(e.g-CD/DVD), lens optical drive must be precisely align / optimized. But your workout goal isn't in this top performance more. So that it can read only where another player can read that.

  Actually lose everything in a music or movie playback by laser beam data a bit do not count a lot (maybe a drop of a sound level of a few nanoseconds which is missed by our ear) but to read a file .exe must be exact to change a little vital file execution make the whole file unreadable garbage before System. But such laser weakened to run well on music & movies.

  To resolve the installation of MS Office thet you just copy all the content of the disc to your HARD drive & then try to install. If the problem persists copy the .exe to install a USB key, the other car that can be read. Then replace the HARD disk by the corrupt.

  Number 2: (Associated virus infection) Your system might be infected severely by code viral insertion of viruses. While any execution of .exe file is impossible on the system, CD/DVD and HARD disk USB storage etc & they won't take their appropriate icons. Basically, he attacks the windows installer component & ban the user to install/play no matter what .exe file that require the help of Win Setup. So in this case change media with a new will not solve the problem. Except for the removal of the virus or system shape. So, you can use free Malwarebytes to scan.

  You can use eset online scanner , scan side by side with

  Microsoft® Windows® malicious software removal tool.

  On the last day of your Windows install 4.5 at the bottom of the link that might help too:

  Windows install 4.5 for 32-bit Windows XP

  Also will help restore registry associated with .exe.

  Conclusion: I'm going to, I said that the title of the thread is not quite right, as you cannot read data from a particular MS Office installation media. But this is not the case with any medium of data disc or installation. At least until your DVD drive so were unable to read all files on the disc, then it might be a pure hardware problem. But as you can see all the files except the .exe files, then there is an uncertain probability of hardware problem.

  Now, you do the analysis & tell me is happening with any media/.exe to install file. Who here has solved your problem

  Ask for additional assistance if necessary.

• DVD Player detects only not MSI Motherboard 865PE-Neo3

  Hello

  I just finished one of my two friends to fix computers. One is the ASUS MB (computer) and the other Mo MSI (so there is no confusion). Note: both computers are built to order.

  The ASUS I completely fixed and works 100%.

  The MSI computer isn't "works properly at all. It started with the Windows XP login screen where I need the password of connection that couldn't my friend ' retireve it or knows about it, given that this computer was sitting on the shelf for a few years. Which is a Pentium 4, MSI 865PE Neo 3 motherboard.
  In any case I said to my friend that the only way to reset the password is to reinstall Windows XP Pro, which I was on will do. When I inserted the OEM disc and boot of it, the dvd player was not "on the startup list, so I went the BIOS/CMOS settings to check.

  In the BIOS/CMOS settings dvd player has no ' dectet at all, so I tried to manually substitute in changing a channel IDE for CD/DVD Rom, which he did not ' work.

  So the next step, I thought that if I tried the dvd drive of the MSI computer which is an LG model on the Asus computer which works very well. So I tried swaping cable SATA and DVD drive which it didn't work at all on the MSI computer. Everything works on the computer, ASUS, MSI computer not a reason any.

  The only thing I can think there is something wrong the MSI as the motherboard its self or is the BIOS? I am tired of searching for answers on the web and geek computer sites/forums and no response to my problem releated.

  Can some tell me the problem of this situation?

  Thank you

  You should use Google to look for the mb manual. It lists all the bios options and teach you how to make the necessary changes.

  I also read earlier that connect the sata cd/dvd cable to the sata3 has sometimes helped in these situations. I can't testify however. Certainly won't hurt to try if...

  I asked just recently one of my friends who is a Certified MS saying that the old BIOS on P4 will not detect any what sata DVD drives even if I update the BIOS. DVD players work only on the BONES of his car not on the BIOS.
  
  I have never heard that before and I'm sure that I did it myself... So, I don't think that is correct. If the accept P4 CPU and has SATA ports, it should work. I think it's just a matter of getting the correct bios settings.

  Edit: your manual not very helpful if. Based on my experience, the settings you need are likely under embedded devices.

• Satellite - CD/DVD drive reads only CD

  I'm abit confused in this situation. My CD/DVD drive reads CDs but does not read the DVD. I don't know if I have to reinstall the driver for the CD/DVD or should be replaced.

  Please can someone help.

  Hello!

  There is no special driver first of all for the CD/DVD drive. The pilot is part of the operating system and should be updated or exchanged.

  I also put t know why the drive isn't reading DVD s more but have you tried to clean the lens of the drive? Therefore, you must use a microfibre cloth than zero of the lens doesn t and be careful!

  In addition, you can boot from a CD?

  Good bye

• Why DVD players does not work? Indeed, DVD player works ONLY playback,... but doesn't work NOT to the write/burn any DVD/Sony and Memorex, etc..

  Hello:

  DVD players, both came with the PC and MSI DVD - Rom I bought through the Internet works ONLY for playback of CD - r and DVD - r, but the two do NOT write/burn brand new DVD and CD - R, popping up in the middle of the screen,... Please insert the blank in the E floppy when I actually inserted in the DVD drive.

  I have uninstall and rebooted the PC, in the hope that readers DVD works OK,... but nothing helps.

  Wonder if the registry damaged for DVD player, or what other problems causing this problem?

  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Have you checked if the CD/DVD drive you purchased is a recordable disc? If this is the case, there should be an indication (e.g., CD-RW/DVD-RW). You can also check for the indication Device Manager.

  If you have confirmed that it is indeed able to write on the discs, then try to activate the IMAPI. To do this please see the instructions below.

  1. click on start

  2. click on run

  3 type "services.msc" (without the quotes)

  4. in the window that opens, you select IMAPI

  5. right-click on it and select "Properties".

  6 start the services.

• DVD Player displays only not the files on disk?

  My dvd player does not open the files on a data disc, he is coming as a blank disc, but if I try it on another computer the files are on the disc? I don't know why please can anyone help?

  I think you can try a number of things here.

  1. put to UPDATE the reader, 2 REINJSTALL the driver.

  Both involve the following steps: click the startup type in the search box Device Manager, I usually get to DEV and it hits the top of the list, click on anyway and it will open the window of permission, click on continue or enter the password and this will open Device Manager which will show all the devices on your computer. Now search for CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives and click on the + sign next to it and a drop-down list will appear and if you RIGHT click a MENU will appear with the following choices, software update driver, disable, uninstall, look for changes on the material and properties.

  Now, here's the choice 1 click on update driver will open a window that says two things search your computer or line choose SEARCH ON LINE. If she comes back and says you have the latest version of the software, then choose option 2 click RIGHT on the disc again is it closed and choose uninstall. When you do this RESTART YOUR COMPUTER and the driver will be reinstalled as new when it restarts.

  Good luck

  Hello lyneham5155,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum

  When this disk is listed in your device manager and you view the properties give any particular error as code 39 or code 10 code? Article below may help determine what the issue might be or helping to solve completely. Sometimes, the stack of filters in the registry is corrupted by software that is using the drive for some actions, such as write applications or multimedia CD or DVD.
