    Hello

    Have you tried to close all programs and then insert the disc in the drive?

    You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).
    Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    CD have a tolerance + - and you have to write on the side outside their tolerance. They can be given
    However, it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

    http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

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

    Try this troubleshooting:

    Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you've done it before as it's often the total of the process which
    solves the problem.

    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.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry entries
    that the troubleshooter does not, and those who "could" be the cause.

    Your player registry entries.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be

  • My recently downloaded Windows Media Player 11 play dvd, audio cd and cd rom, but will not recognize two photos of the dvd which have been able to acknowledge by Media Player 10 and record of the Explorer Windows-with some difficulty

    1. Windows Media Player 10 has opened a photo successfully dvd but a message "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close" came on the screen several times.  Had to re insert the dvd picture, but it would open again each time.
    2. Tried the cd drivers and troubleshooting dvd and was informed of my dvd could not be played because there was no decoder for dvd.  Following instructions and chose a windows xp approved decoder pack download - dvd has chosen the Roxio CinePlayer DVD Decoder Pack.
    3. Then upgraded the media player to Windows Media Player 11.
    4. After that, dvd and cd rom could be opened by the media player 11, but neither the DVD or cd ROM readers would recognize the photo DVD in question had been inserted into one of these discs, and even less to be opened by the media player.
    5. Program scanner and photo used to transfer my photos printed digitally on a dvd are trademarks of Hewlett-Packard.  Contact the center of the photo, but they could not provide me with any guidance or even particular HP photo program they used to create the dvd picture.  I remember the photos were stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11.

    "" I remember well, the pictures are stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11 ""

    Looks like you have a data dvd, which has just the pictures on it and it will not be seen by WMP, who needs a dvd-video disc.

    It should always open in windows Explorer and you should be able to see your pictues it.

  • Flash Player seems to settle down, but will not work

    Flash Player installs but does not work.  When I go to the troubleshooting website (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html), the box fills the information.  If I right click where the box should be, however, the menu display version information and behaves as if the AFP is installed.  I cannot select parameters, but can select global settings.  The global settings dialog box opens.

    I use version 11.7.700.169, using IE 9 AFP and running Windows 7.  I have 2 other PCs, and both deliver the program very well.  So far, I have tried many things to solve problems with no luck.

    So far:

    -Uninstall complete, using the Adobe uninstaller program.  I deleted the folders and content and, close and tried to reinstall.

    -J' deleted the registry entry and also tried assigning zero value located at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\ {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}. 

    -J' use Norton 360 and attempted an install with all services stopped (anti-virus, anti-Spam, protect Auto, etc.)

    -J' checked filtering ActiveX is not checked in IE.

    -Active X and the options of script in Internet Explorer > tools > Internet Options are enabled and the selections on both PCs in mirror work.

    -J' tried to uninstall and reinstall an earlier version of AFP with no luck.

    -Shockwave Flash Object Addon is enabled.

    Screenshot is included to show what is happening on the screen to redirect after that I installed AFP.

    I am running out of ideas and would appreciate any help on this.

    Thank you!

    I am a little disappointed by the forums - no responses.  I am happy to share, I found the problem and I share the solution in case others have the same problem.  The interesting thing is the setting that I've changed, it's different on the two computers to work.  In IE9, go to tools > Internet Options > advanced and the first graphics acceleration checkbox... check it out.  Restart IE and voila, it's fixed.  The other two PCs that I use have this box unchecked and AFP works fine... weird.

  • WAG54GS allows wireless clients to connect but will not assign IP addresses for full connectivity

    I have three XP 3 computers connected between them in a MS home network via a wired hub and access to the internet through a wired connection to a router WAG54GS.  DHCP is enabled on the router, the IP addresses are correctly assigned and internet access to these computers Wired is not a problem.

    In the past, I've connected also with success of laptops to the internet via the feature wireless router, but having not used that for a while, I think now it will not work.  I tried to connect with laptop computers running XP 2 and Vista Home and the problem is the same.  Laptops find broadcasting wireless router and connect but they are not assigned IP addresses during the phase of "Acquiring IP address" resulting in a "Limited or no connectivity message."  Packets are sent to the router, but none are received in return. It is with the strength of the Signal at 73% and the quality of the link to 100%.  Ipconfig displays no deafult assigned gateway and the IP auto configured to be 169.254.96.1 for example.  Ping the router gives "Destination host unreachable".  Not surprisingly, laptops are able to 'see' other computers wired on the MS. network  These laptops connect correctly to the MS network and internet if I change the wired connection.

    If I check the status of the network wireless router configuration good laptops MAC addresses are displayed, but the computer name and the IP address are missing.  I usually use a protection WEP 128 bit on two channels 6 and 13, but it makes no difference if I change this without guarantee, once again the connection occurs, but no IP address is assigned.  DHCP is enabled in the tab for basic configuration of router from 192.168.1.100 with selected up to 50 users DHCP (and DHCP works very well for cable customers).  The IP address of the router is set to 192.168.1.2.  Wi - Fi router is set to "allow everything".  Default settings are used for the parameters wireless advanced, although I tried to reduce the 100 interbval tag at 50 and the RTS and Fragmentation threshold to 2304.  The policy of Internet access on the router is disabled.

    If I have (for purposes of testing only) connect laptops to one of my neighbors secure networks (there are several) to connect laptops very well so I can access the internet, DHCP works great on laptops.  Firmware is v1.00.08 (I looked this modernization, but while I can identify my router version 1.2 downloads talk about types of Annex A and Annex B are mutually exclusive and I'm not clear I have.  I am also doubtful as to if the firmware upgrade would make a difference, because there is no trace of the upgrade solve this kind of problem and I had the Wireless does not work if long ago).  I'm running out of ideas, is there something that I missed?

    Well in this case you can try to upgrade the firmware of your router, go to the website http://www.linksysbycisco.com/UK/en/support/WAG54GS/download...insert of your router model serach tab... select the correct version of your router... Download the firmware file... save this file on the desktop.

    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware of the device: -.
    Open a page in Internet Explorer browser on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1... Leave the name blank username & password use admin lowercase...
    Click the 'Administration' tab - then click on the 'Upgrade Firmware' under the tab-here, click on 'Browse' and navigate the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait a few seconds until it shows that "the update is successful," after the upgrade of the firmware, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned to the same page OR it will say 'cannot display the Page.

    Now reset your router:
    Press and hold the button of reset for 30 seconds... Release the reset button... Unplug the power cable from your router, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power cable... Now re - configure your router...

    Once you re-configured settings of your router, and you are able to go online Wired computer, here are some settings that you can configure your wireless router, I think this might solve your problem

    Open an Internet Explorer browser on your computer (desktop) wired page. In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
    Let the empty user name & password use admin lowercase...
    For wireless settings, follow these steps: -.
    Click on the Wireless tab
    -Here, select manual configuration... Wireless network mode must be mixed...
    -Provide a unique name in the name box of the wireless network (SSID) in order to differentiate your network from your network of neighbors...

    -Set the Standard - 20 MHz Radio band and change the Standard channel to 11-2, 462 GHz... Wireless SSID broadcast should be enabled and then click on save settings...
    Please take note of the name of the wireless network (SSID) because it's the network identifier...
    For wireless security: -.
    Click the sub-tab under wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the mode of WEP wireless security, encryption must be 64-bit. Let the empty password, do not type in anything... Under type of WEP Key 1 in all 10 numbers please (numbers only and no mailbox for example: your 10-digit phone number) and click on save settings... Please note the 1 WEP key as it comes to the security key for the wireless network...

    Click the settings advanced wireless
    Change the interval of tag to 75 > change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304 > click 'save settings '...
    Now let's see if you can locate your wireless network and try to connect... And check if you are able to navigate.
