DVD won't play in Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium Media Center.

I tried many DVDs in my Windows 7, 64-bit Home Premium system, and none of them will play in the Media Center, with the exception of a 1955 film that plays without problem. I guess it was a good year. In the lower right corner of the Media Center, a window says: "Play DVD - Windows Media Center cannot detect a video DVD in the DVD - Rom drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive." Apparently, the DVD is not detected. What is a missing codec problem? I read about downloading the Codec of the user, only to cause more problems, and I did a lot of searching for an answer to this and found a countless number of users having problems with DVD in Media Center and no collective solution. How can it be this difficult? What is the problem with Windows 7? Why can I play a DVD of a film of 1955 (Mr. Roberts) and not of today's movies? The only solution that I come up with to this day, even after checking with the maufacturer of my optical drive, should consider buying the codec itself, if that is what is lacking, or a DVD player to possibly of Roxio. But after the piece of hugh of money I paid for my software Windows 7, I would not have bought anything others of another company. I wouldn't think to go back to XP, but I've had far fewer problems. Any help would be appreciated. Don

Hi Mary - thank you very much for your answer. My PC is a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop computer. I just got the phone is turned off after a few hours of troubleshooting with Dell hardware and software services. Dell is sending a technician to replace my optical drive. They hope that clears the problem, but if not, they say that I might have to reinstall Windows 7. This is happening due to your pointing me in the right direction with your post, and troubleshooting I could do before, I called Dell. I had different problems for a while, and maybe they'll finally get fixed. Thanks again, Don Don

  • Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating systems disks

    I bought my laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium installed on it.  I've since upgraded to Windows 7.  Unfortunately, there are a few programs that will not work under Windows 7 little matter what I do.

    So, I would try to run a virtual Windows Vista system.  The problem is that I can't find my disk with the operating system of Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium on it.

    Download the Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating system so that I can burn a disc for a back-up or I can order a drive with the OS on it?

    Thank you!

    You can not upgrade to Windows 7, and then use the Vista OS you used as part of the upgrade to install another (even virtual).

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    And Microsoft provide no DVD for computers of the brand OEM (Dell, HP, etc).

    Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  • How to solve the problem with Windows Update on Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium SP1; Module Windows install encounter error 126, impossible to run/scannow sfs or TrustedInstaller. Help, please

    Hello

    First of all, thank you in advance for any advice for any help, you can offer.

    A week ago I noticed that Windows Update had a backlog of updates (30-40) as I had it value updates but let me choose whether to install them. As I tried to install, I noticed download election for hours but no visible progress in the taskbar and only a few updates installed on restart. Try to check the updates of similar results. I tried a number of solutions suggested here as a tool for troubleshooting Windows Update, but it made that seem to clear my list of updates to uninstall and make sure Windows Update has been under the impression that I had never checked the updates, apparently a worsening of the problem like today no update appeared and I encountered error 8007000D.

    I've tried other options like Windows system update readiness tool and tried to run the sfc/scannow System File Checker, but what who would not (cannot start service repair) I grew more and more worried. On recommendation from other forums, I tried also to start TrustedInstaller in command prompt, which does not. Unfortunately, I had run a Disk Defrag and clean-up recently which had been deleted and (unbeknownst to me) my last restore point. The root of the problem seems to be the Windows Modules Installer, which does not start when you are prompted in Services (error 126), something wrong with the registry may. So reluctantly, I tried to perform a repair installation using a downloaded iso, I burned onto a DVD (insured was also Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit SP1). However, even if it doesn't seem to work, it is constantly check for installation updates (unless this is supposed to last several hours?) or if I opt not not to check, it pass the compatibility check and then fail in the second stage (collection of files, settings, and programs). I tried several times, once in offline mode with my disabled (Norton) antivirus and once in clean boot mode.

    I don't know what other options I have. I would like to avoid a clean as much as possible installation, because my computer (HP laptop) still seems to operate normally (for the moment) outside the impossibility to install Windows updates (via Windows Update or directly from Microsoft, it seems), but I think it would just leave vulnerable more and more over time. Has anyone else had similar problems and has found a way to solve? I'm not a computer expert so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Try the troubleshooting steps in this link: error message when you start the service installer of Modules of Windows (TrustedInstaller): "system error 126: the specific module could not be found".

  • Mobile gamepad XBOX 360 not recognized when connected to a Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium computer USB ports

    Very well - so a few days ago (Saturday ~ 2) (25. 2012) I connected to my XBOX 360 (Wired) controller on my Toshiba Satellite L655 computer laptop with Windows 7 ~ Home Premium 64-Bit. To my surprise, a Notification bubble popped up from the taskbar, saying that the "unrecognized USB device. It has malfunctioned. "

    Naturally, I took, waited a few seconds, and then reconnect the USB key. The same message has popped up. Now, I was angry. Repeatedly, I took and reconnected it all a few seconds until that FINALLY the 4 green lights around the button Guide everything illuminated and then back except the one on the upper left, which was the way it should have been.
    I went to the control panel and clicked on the 360 controller to see if he had any input. Nope.
    I pulled out once more, has waited a while and plugged in. No, lucky. The same thing happened again. The Notification bubble came, all 4 green lights on and then all four of them died. I don't know what happened.
    When I plugged the controller to the laptop the FIRST FULL TIME, he installed all necessary drivers in less than a minute and I was on my way. Every time after that, I have taken the controller into the USB Port and began to play. Now all the time, that is to say that it cannot recognize the controller?
    I've tried everything, even a system restore. Nothing did. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for a few minutes, there was an entry of the controller, then he went just blank.
    I need this controller in order to play my racing games, seeing the keyboard control just aren't the best. I don't know what the problem is, but I wish I had a solution A.S.A.P. Please, Microsoft, please. Help me!
                                                                                                                            


    I had the same problem, cannot find a solution that worked everywhere, including Microsoft support forums.

    About to give up, I remembered the old cure NDA, shaped, "why not?"  I've tried everything else. "So I've disconnected everything on the gamepad, blew in every connection and reconnected everything, by ensuring that the connections were tight.

    It has worked perfectly since then.

    Hello.

    I recently purchase a new HP650 notebook that came with Windows 8.  I have this wiped and reinstalled windows 7 32 bit edition Home premium and downloaded all the drivers/software relevant on the HP site.

    However, the machine is supplied with 4 GB of RAM, including the BIOS see' good sas.  Windows 7 recognizes that 4 GB but it says that only 969 MB is usable.

    There is nothing of configurable in BIOS for the use of video memory or information about the reserved addresses.

    I am aware that 32 bits will use about 3.5 GB but wow can get this machine to use all 3.5 GB?

    Any advice would be apreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I suggest that you uninstall the Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) and switch on Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) version to treat memory problems.

    The Microsoft Windows 7 activation key on the certificate of authenticity you have for the 32-bit version will work with the 64-bit operating system. The caveats are that you can have only a single installation active with the license key at a time and you must have an installed processor that is capable of 64-bit OS.  You will find that the 64-bit version is far superior to the 32-bit version for stability. Of course, there is the increased ability to recognize more memory installed up to limits of the motherboard.

    You can download the 64-bit here. The drivers are available on the support portal web for your mobile in the section download.

  • I'm looking for a Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium downgrade my 10 Windows on my computer hp pavilion dv6 laptop?

    Help.

    I have this hp pavilion dv6 bought in 2012 in Singapore. This laptop came with a pre-installed windows 7 Home premium 64-bit. Earlier this year, I got the free update of Windows 10 and I was happily obliged to update my windows 7 to windows 10.

    Few things I know, updates do not automatically at level my other drivers and software that was running smoothly in my laptop before upgrading. That was include my external hard drive I used to back up all my files once a month. My external hard drive has been iomega eGo 2 TB of capacity.

    To cut the story short, I now want to downgrade to Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, one I had before, as many of my software are more able to run smoothly, and my hard drive with all my important data is now inaccessible, whenever I plugged the HDD in my pc.

    I always kept my original product key for windows, but I can't find a reliable source where I can download it again and reinstall it to replace the windows 10 today running on my laptop.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Thank you.

  • Freezing of Windows 7 Home Premium Media Center

    Hello

    I had this problem for a few weeks now.  Recently, it seems that a lot of software no longer works correctly, and I don't know what is the source of the problem, but a glaring problem is when I boot up, the Media Center gadgets Google desktop (my only gadget) does not load correctly.  It displays the small circle of 'work', then that freezes.  If I click on it, I can still use the machine for other things.  If I click it, it freezes completely to the point where I can't start Task Manager, and I find myself having to shut down with the power button.  Also, if I open the Media Center Start menu, it will open, but if I click on anything in the program, it will hang to the point where I have to stop with the power button.  No BSOD, it just hangs.

    This is not a very new machine, and installing Windows 7 was maybe a year ago.  It's a desktop HP, has 4 GB of RAM.

    Here is a link to a text file system info that I just exported.  Do not know if it would be of any help:

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can provide!

    I should have followed my instincts - I suspected from the beginning that when Windows couldn't seem if open that drive that something was wrong with her.  Windows Media Center used this player as default save location, and that she had serious problems as well.

    It turns out that all this time, it was a faulty drive.  The first result of the test of WD Data Lifeguard was completely wrong, but I'm sure that the reader only acted a little.  The problem with the player progresses where Windows would not load completely.  Once Finally, I go back to the original and disconnected the drive, Windows were pulled up so fast, it makes the head spin.

    I suggest to anyone who has similar problems with WMC or peformace/freezing slow and ESPECIALLY if Windows cannot completely open a disc, you disconnect the drive (assuming you have that option) and see what's happening with your system.  In hindsight, that seems like a no-brainer.

    While I appreciate the help from Microsoft support, this shows how it is important to pay attention and understand the symptoms of a problem, not only start to run all the tests under the Sun just because they are there.  Quick analysis of the WD software was certainly mislead, but the symptoms with that in car have been something that really necessary in the comprehensive study, and stick to the question I started with could have kept this process up to a few days rather than a few weeks.

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
