Media Player CD/DVD in DVD not readable, original, Windows 8, TSSTcorp CDDVDWSU-208BB

Hello

I have a Toshiba satellite c55d-a - 14g laptop, bought a year and a half. It just stopped reading original DVD. It is used to do a year ago. Now, the DVD is not even turn inside. The driver works with the DVD I burned myself.

I am attaching a picture of the Fix result

Hello

Could be the heads are so out of alignment that is can not read standard discs but can read
who is written on this drive. If it's true the only thing you can do is to replace
as the cost of repairs exceeds the cost of a new disk.

Check with Toshiba Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask for their
Forums about known problems. Check updates to the BIOS, drivers of low level chipset,
and drivers of major on-board and separate devices.

Troubleshooting which probably won't help but worth a try.

---------------

After the foregoing:

If necessary check-

From the desktop, or use the WINDOWS key + X - run - type RegEdit
OR place the cursor in the lower left corner of the office - right click - path - type in
RegEdit.

Click on the plus sign (+) next to the following folders

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class
\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Right click on the key in the left pane - export so you can reverse in the case of an error.

Save as Remove - Filters.reg (any name is ok with .reg extension).

In the eyes of the right pane for one of these = UpperFilters.bak UpperFilters - LowerFilters.
-LowerFilters.bak

If so right click on them - delete
(There may not be one any of these and if not is not the solution).

Close RegEdit

Reset

If you have no need to file .reg you registered then you can delete it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Check with the system manufacturer's support, their documentation and online drivers. Check
for the updates to the BIOS, chipset of low-level drivers and major embedded and separate
device drivers.

---------------

From the desktop - WINDOWS key + D while on the screen start to access the desktop:

WINDOWS key + X or build the mouse in the lower left corner right click and corner - command prompt (ADMIN)

Enter it below (or COPY and PASTE):

  • Windows Media Player 11, DVD video, not big enough in fullscreen

    During playback of movies DVD with WMP 11 and in full screen, the video does not stretch to the edge of the screen.

    I have a flat screen monitor set to 1600 x 900. When I entered the mode full screen the video becomes a bit larger, but does not fill the edges of the screen.

    Enter the registry and import the file.

    have also tried

    A: apparently, this is caused by a mixup of version in the registry. If you get rid of the incorrect information, Media Player will stop complaining and run very well. Here's how:

    * Click on the round of departure.
    * Enter REGEDIT.
    * When you are prompted, click on continue or enter an administrator password.
    * In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup\Installed key versions. Just like you should navigate in a certain folder in Windows Explorer.
    * In the right pane find three values named wmp.dll wmplayer.exe and wmploc.dll.
    * Click each of these values in turn, and then choose Delete on the shortcut menu.
    * Close the registry editor

    Media Player should now load without any gripes. -Neil j. Rubenking.

  • Windows Media Player 12 (WMP 12) are not saving the data in the library

    Hi all, been having a few problems with WMP 12, because I reinstalled Win7 enterprise following an upgrade of the processor (from AMD to Intel, had to reinstall).  Since that I had two problems, both probably originate in the same root.  Everytime I open WMP I see "There is no data in your library", until it scans the hard drive for files.  It's true that if I let this scan for 30 minutes, then turn off and on.  He simply has no information, period.  Secondly, when it filled with information, it mentions two copies of each song.

    My personal theory is that it could be caused by an old cache of WMP log are stored somewhere on the PC.  Perhaps WINDOWS.old?  Please keep in mind it was a reinstall of W7 W7 E E again.  Theories, ideas or legal remedies will be appreciated.  The problem seems localized to WMP, my libraries (pictures, videos, etc.) and everything seems to be intact however.

    I tried to change the location of the file, only to have WMP search folders for some and a few other things (disabling, allowing streaming media, for example) are stored within my installation of W7 HD and another HD in the same machine.

    Hi SRedX,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    Try to manually add files to Windows media player and see if the problem still occurs.

    Method 1:

    This problem may be due to database corruption.  You can delete the Windows Media Player database and check if the problem persists.
     
    Steps to clear the database of windows media player:
     
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
    3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
     
    Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
     
    4. restart Windows Media Player.
     
    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
     
    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:
     
    1. exit Windows Media Player.
    2. If you are using Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft and then click OK.
     
    If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.
     
    3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  • A few tracks on a CD Windows Media Player 12 will play but not others

    I downloaded an album on Amazon.com MP3 to my computer.  After you download the Amazon MP3 default folder, I cut and pasted into the folder my music to the title of the appropriate artist.  Before ever opening Windows Media Player, I've renamed some of the tracks so that some were marked [Explicit].  Then I opened Windows Media Player to play the music.  Ironically, the ones I renamed plays very well, but the other tracks (unmodified) on the same CD are not recognized.  If I navigate to the folder of the album, a track, right-click and select "Add to Windows Media Player list" this will work in the drive.  But if I click on the album in the drive, it cannot recognize the path.  Huh?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    FYI: Using Windows 7, Windows Media Player 12

  • lost all windows 8 media player files cannot find them not in recycling

    Window 8 lost all media player files and they are not in the trash.  Have reset computer far before losing the files.  Suggestions?

    Hello

    1. don't you make changes for the media player or the computer before the show?
    2 have the music files missing from the library of Windows Media Player (WMP) or their storage folder?
    3. are all of your files stored in the same folder?

    If the file is "deleted from the library only", the real media file remains in its original location. Check settings (under options, tab drive) media player and check the boxes for "add local media files (or remote) to the library when played". Then navigate to the file and read it. WMP will add the file to your library.

    Method 1:
    You can use the search option and type in *.mp3 (assuming that your files are in this format).

    Windows will detect then all mp3 files. Note where is your music and then point Windows Media Player so that one or more specific records.

    Method 2:
    Check the settings of the library in windows media player. Steps to follow:
    a. open Windows media player.
    b. click on organize.
    c. Select Options, select the Library tab.
    d. under updates automatic press for file information.
    e. Select only adds the missing information.

    Method 3:
    Rebuild the media database and check if that helps. Follow these steps to rebuild the database:
    a. press the Windows key + R, and in the search box, type in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player
    b. remove the Media player folder.
    c. restart the computer, the Media player folder will be automatically recreated. Check whether the problem is resolved.

    I hope this helps. If you have any other queries/issues related to Windows, write us and we will be happy to help you further.

  • The best Windows media player 11 dvd decoder?

    I had deleted my computer and re-intalled my xp home operating system.  (with sp3)  I have installed wmp11.  I now need a dvd decoder and opionions sought on one that suits.  I've never played DVD on this computer.  I've seen adds for roxio cineplayer, advanced corel which is the cheapest and set-top box to dvdse cyberlink power, but know nothing about them.  All others?

    I want to make sure that the "improvements" working properly.  (frame advance, video settings bright aka, cont, ect..)

    Also the ability to remove the nav bar for mode full-screen. (zoom would be as well)

    I ask because my brother compuer pro with wmp11 xp allow the video settings or zoom to work.

    I don't know what decoder he bought and he does not remember, so I don't know what to avoid.

    I'll def Standard comercial and burned dvd as well as avi and wmv.

    Thank you, Mark.

    PS please don't tell me not to use VLC.  There is no frame advance.  And is 'not' compatible 'screen Hunter' which I use for making screenshots in 1280 x 1024, which VLC can even begin to do.   (Yes screenhunter makes caps what is the resolution of your computer)

    I don't know which is better but maybe the

  • I wonder if anyone is familiar with this type of problem with the help of a Windows Media Player for DVD videos.

    Hello!
    I came across a problem with my dvd on my laptop drive. The program that I use on my laptop is Media player from Windows. And the laptop will recognize the DVD and everything, but when it starts to play, it gives me this message from Windows Media Player: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. »

    Now I always use the old Windows XP for my laptop, but I can't seem to understand how to adjust the color quality and lower my screen resolution. Does anyone have a little step by step process that I could follow to do this?

    The problem is that Windows XP does not play DVD movies in native mode. You can
    have a DVD player, but it can only read DATA DVD at this time. In the order
    install a DVD codec to read video DVD discs. First we will
    Install this program from Microsoft and run it, and if you have a DVD
    Codec, it will appear in the display window. Download this program from
    here:

    If it shows that you don't have a codec DVD installed, then you can
    buy one on one of the links on this page:

  • My windows media player and dvd.

    Hello I have a laptop with windows vista and my windows media player does not burn the songs or veiwing DVD and when I go to Itunes It does not burn the songs or audio books that I have. and I called around to see what it is I do. I'm trying not to re - store the laptop but if it comes down to it them I guess I have to. If anyone can help me find out why this happens thanks

    Hello

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hope these helps.
