HP laptop G72: dvd has stopped working on my laptop with windows 10 hp G72

When I insert a dvd the drive seems to be reading, however it does nothing beyond.

Thanks a lot for your comments, but I still have trouble getting this dvd to work as it should.                                       Product number: XG988UA #ABA.

The dvd was working before and as near as I remember it didn't work since the installation of Windows 10. I went through the process, because you detailed to reinstall by the Manager for devices with few positive results. After inserting disc the display shows the "legal warning to copy years etc. but don't can't play. In fact there is no play button is displayed. Others are there as advance fast volume and so on, but that's all. Yes, several discs have been attempted with similar results. (This is not a Blue Ray system. "It's a basic dvd Setup.)

I don't have any idea on how to install "windows media center" and use it to activate my dvd player.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Windows Media Center has stopped working (after the great October Windows Update).

    In October, there was a Windows update that broke my Media Center (and THXaudio.exe) I was able to restore and put off the various updates until I recently needed to shut down the computer for a clean material out.  Even though I had several valid restore points before the updates available, I was not able to use the system restore (says a file is missing) and also not able to restore all the features.

    First of all, I tried different patches of problem I already found online: I used the "sfc/scannow" and it always shows the files that need fixing (but he can't fix them). I tried the system restore (and broke). Deleting the database file does not apply. I even "turned off" WMC and not turned back on - no chance.

  • HDMI has stopped working after the upgrade to windows 8 Pro

    Hi all

    After upgrading my laptop to Windows 7 Ultimate for Windows 8 Pro (upgrade of the place) my HDMI output not working anymore.
    I use a nvidia Geforce 8200 M G graphics card, went to their website and downloaded the drivers of windows 8, but this did not help.
    Is what is happening when I plug the HDMI cable, the laptop screen goes black and there is no output to the TV I am trying to connect to. However, when you remove the HDMI cable, the laptop screen does not return to normal, but still rather dark. I tried pressing + P, but it does not help, and ultimately, I can't get the laptop screen showing something by a full reboot.
    Someone has a bright idea?
    Thank you!

    SOLVED (for me at least)

    I had the same problem after I upgraded my Acer Aspire 5745PG from Windows 7 to Windows 8. My second monitor via HDMI would not be recognized.
    Here's how I solved it: went to the website of the manufacturer (Acer in my case) and downloaded the NVIDIA for Windows 7 driver and installed it. Installation was a little buggy. I had to restore my computer to an earlier point, twice (make sure that you create a restore point before you start just in case where; google if you don't know how).
    In the end, the installation was successful. I plugged in my HDMI cable and second screen has increased as before I upgraded.

    IMPORTANT: Do NOT download the driver from the website of the manufacturer of the graphics card (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel,...). Go to the Web site (HP, Acer, Dell, etc.) of the manufacturer of your PC and find the. I tried the driver from NVIDIA that I have a NVIDIA Geforce Graphics card and it would not install. If you find that several display drivers for your specific PC model on the manufacturer's website you can try then one by one. I found 3 NVIDIA for my Acer 5745P. The second was the right thing.

    Good luck everybody!
