I can't play the dvd on my HP

I just wanted to watch a movie and then I had a snack and went up to my computer (that I just bought) and I put in a movie. To my surprise, that nothing happened. Nothing pops up asking me if I wanted to play the movie or is it just started to play. I'm not happy about it and I would be delighted if someone could help me. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you. But unfortunately all this has worked. All signs point to broken drive.

    can someone tell me how can I play a dvd on a DVD data?

    Hello

    Which DVD Player did you? An internal drive for laptop DVD or a DVD player which is connected to the TV?
    What files you want that play you on the DVD player? Photos, Audio?
    As far as I know, you can use a burning software Nero. This software supports a lot of different modes of DVD burning. In addition, you should check what media DVD does support the drive.
    I burn my DVD with Nero photo and I can use this dvd in my DVD without any problem.

    Have just implemented a L300 and everything was going well until I decided to try a prerecorded DVD. All I get is a message that reads... Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible decoder is not installed on your computer. I do have it connected to the internet if that makes a difference.

    Can someone explain what it means all and what to do. All new at this game!

    Hello

    I think that you need to install a pack of codecs for Windows media player play DVD. I have good experiences with K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. Use Google to find, it contains the essential codecs for Windows Media Player.

    But let me give you a piece of advice: try to play DVDs with another room. I always use the VLC media player because it can play audio and video files more. In addition he s freeware and in my opinion more quickly as media player.

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite A200 - 13 M with a drive TSST TS - L632D DVD (Firmware TO-04) and Windows Vista.
    I can't play a DVD protected by securom.

    I made an update to Vista, my PC BIOS, but it still does not work.

    Hello

    I have no similar experiences, but please check if the service called "Securom Services" is active. I'm sure it must be deleted somewhere in the registry.

    + Crash day - and a warning +.
    January 27, 2006

    + Atari has released a playable demo of a game called Day of Crash. It is similar to Need for Speed: Most Wanted in many ways, but the goal is to destroy the other cars to missiles and miniguns, or do crazy stunts. It's very fun and seem to have some potential - see my screenies, thoughts and tweaks in this thread. +

    + Now, here is the part of the warning. Without wanting to be too dramatic, Crash day demo uses SecuROM copy protection system. It is very annoying and may cause problems on your computer. You can avoid the installation of the demo, or if you install it and then eventually want to uninstall and remove SecuROM, including "SecuROM User Access" Service, it installs under Windows, follow these steps: +.

    + 1. Uninstall the game as usual. +

    + 2. Manually remove the game directory (usually \Program Files\Atari\Crashday-+ demo\)

    + 3. Go to start > run and type "Services.msc" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. +

    + 4. Access the "Securom User Access" Service, double click on it, click on stop and then set Disabled. +

    + 5. Navigate to the \Windows\System32\ directory and delete the file UAService7.exe. +

    + 6. Go to start > run and type 'sc delete useraccess7' (without the quotes) and press ENTER. +

    + Note: Ce Service can be re-created by one of your other SecuROM games, in which case you will have to work to play. +

    + The following steps are very risky and only to those who is certain none of their currently installed games use or need of SecuROM: +.

    + 7. Go to \Documents and Settings\All Users Data\ and remove the SecuROM subdirectory. +

    + 8. Go to start > run and type "Regedit" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. Then find the + * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SecuROM * + key and delete it if possible. +

    DVD decoder not installed?

    I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
    A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?

    I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message.  Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.

    Thanks if anyone can help.

    Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.

    The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.

    Using Media Player version 10 or 11?

    the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert).   It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.

    because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)

    So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing.  Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.

    Have a great day!
