Maybe you need a DVD decoder:

Or... you'll love the free VLC Media Player:

And it may be worth trying to install a codec pack:

CCCP (combined Community Codec Pack)

(FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore

    Try the following and let us know the results.
    Run these tools:

    The system update tool

    Take note of the results of the System File Checker.  Then after you run the two, run Windows Update.

    You are able to update of AVG?
    Any other antivirus (i.e. Norton, McAfee, etc.) has already been installed on this computer?

In the list on the left side pane, there is an option to select "Online stores", but the button next to it that is supposed to change it to "Media Guide" does not respond to mouse clicks.

    Please help as I am unable to stream internet radio and any other content because of this.

    Start Windows in clean boot mode and try there. Do you have the same problem?

    Try temporarily disabling your firewall and check if that helps.

  • Why some DVDs will not play in my computer DVD player?

    I have a small collection of commercial DVD movies.  Most of them come from the place of the U.S. market, and some come from Asia... He play ALL these DVD in my Phillips DVD player that is connected to my TV.

    But only some of these DVD will play in my DVD player which is in my computer Dell Inspiron 531 with Windows 7 Ultimate edition.  This computer has a DVD/CD SAMSUNG HD161HJ SCSI disk drive.

    Some of the DVDs that will play on my computer are the American market, and some of them are of the Asian market, so I don't think that this has nothing to do with why some of these DVDs will not play on my computer.

    DVDs that play fine in my Phillips DVD on my TV player that will not play on my computer don't yet seem to close at play on my computer.  The DVD that will play on my computer liquidation (you can hear the noise) in the DVD player in 20 seconds and they start playing automatically in Windows Media Player... but I welcomed all others who won't have to sit in the DVD player for several minutes each in my tests and nothing happens... There is no wind sound and all nothing is happening on the computer screen.

    This doesn't seem to be a problem with the driver software for the disk hard because some of the DVDs will play.

    None of these DVDs are buckled and all of them are clean.

    I tried two or three times test each of DVDs that won't play, the removed from drive and put them back in.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hi Dale,

    Although I never had no problem with the DVD or the CD I burned on PC, I think you're going to probably the same thing, that I've been with this internal DVD/CD player, is not a software problem, but just the characteristics of a lower quality DVD/CD player, and it isn't necessarily the symptoms of a dying man in car , but just a stock car low quality that some computer manufacturers cut corners with.
    The drive in the computer that I was referring in this thread is a DVD/CD SAMSUNG HD161HJ SCSI disk drive. Which may or may not be identical or similar to the reader, you have problems with, but the computer on which the reader is underway is a Dell Inspiron 531.
    Through the information that I've gathered on this thread and on another forum, I came to the conclusion that it's just a cheap player who gives intermittent performance recognizing various DVD, but as I said, the drive I troubleshooting always recognize DVDs and CDs that I burned in it... It was just the DVD movie that I have problems with.
    I dug my loyal reader DVD LaCie and plugged and I had no problems with him acknowledging and play ONE of my DVDs on this machine, which proves that the problem has nothing to do with the software system or DVD player software, as in the case suggested by someone else on this thread.
    Just buy yourself a Firewire drive or USB-2 DVD decent and you're probably fine.

    If you use a DVD - RW disk... you could try a DVD-R, but some DVD players
    will not play a home made DVD... not much you can do about it.

    As an experience... you could try the following freeware to burn a video DVD
    recorded with your file to .wmv Movie Maker.
