I play any DvD then my computer freezes on WMP

I play any DvD on WMP and it freezes the computer. I can play video files. videos on the Internet very well.

I did update, driver and utility for windows troubleshooting things as many of the people replied with... still nothing. Tried the Fix - It thing and reset the WMP continues to do the same. UH - Hmm, computer was ongoing execution and put to date very well then like 3-4 days then there is the problem started. Couldn't make it work right so I shut down the computer and then the next day, nothing has changed - suddenly the thing started to work very well... same thing... next day started having the problem...

Hello

This issue may have caused because you would not have installed a Windows Update option.

You can also try to install optional updates, as many people have solved the problem by installing the optional updates and then search for the question.

How will I know if my computer is up to date?

    DVD decoder not installed?

    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!

    Maybe you need a DVD decoder:

    Info about DVD decoders:
    Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
    http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

    Or... try the free VLC Media Player:

    VLC Media Player
    http://www.videolan.org/

    Or...

    Might be interesting to try to download and install the
    following codec pack:

    * Proceed at your own risk *.

    CCCP (combined Community Codec Pack)
    http://www.CCCP-project.NET/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
    (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
    point before installing any software or updates)

    Good luck...

  • Play European DVDs on a computer in North America

    Hello
    I am a Canadian who is in Belgium for the study of the year, and as always, I have my trusty in tow. It is a Toshiba Satellite and has no trouble playing DVD in North America, but does not recognize those of Europe. I was wondering if there is there a software that I need to get, or if I have to buy an external DVD drive in order to use my computer to play European DVDs?
    I would be happy to advice from someone who knows about it.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Anna,.

    To change the region on your DVD-ROM;

    1. click on MY COMPUTER
    2. right click on your DVD player
    3. click on PROPERTIES
    4. click on the HARDWARE tab.
    5. Select your DVD drive and click PROPERTIES
    6. click on the DVD REGION tab.
    7. Select your current country or manually enter the region you want (region 2).

    Like Flo said rightly, you have only a limited number of changes before the selected region is perpetuated.

    Kind regards

  • HP pavilion dv7 notebook pc windows 7 64 bit home hp mediasmart dvd player will not play any dvd

    format not supported, says please insert a movie

    Hello

    OK, try the following.

    As you use HP MediaSmart DVD to play discs, follow these steps.

    HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution.  Download the latest installer for it on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

    Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, open your downloads folder and double-click Setup for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once done, see if your discs now plays OK.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    This looks like a malfunction of lens calibration.
    It is a fault in general if the drive cannot recognize one of the types of averages.
    Before you read or burn CD or DVD, the lens must be calibrate physically.
    This is necessary because each CD or DVD has a surface of a different nature.

    However, if the lens cannot calibrate there is not much to do. In most cases, the drive must be replaced.

    PS: You can try to remove the drive physically Notepad and then boot into Windows. Then shuts down and put the drive back into Notepad. The BIOS should read the firmware again and possibly the lens can calibrate again.
    But I do not know m it if will help. Anyway, endearing is free, you know.
