  • I have a XP and suddenly the cd player does not work. I put disks in it, but they do not appear in media players. On my computer, it shows that the drive is there.

    I may get paranoid, but the player made a weird noise the first time I start my pc and noticed that the drive is not play discs. It has burned or broken some how? Is it possible for me to confirm that apart from go to a store and pay someone to check this?

    Hello Downey3,

    Thank you for your message.  It could be that your player has gone wrong, you have another computer that you could test with?  Otherwise, you could check the Device Manager to see if it could be a driver problem (steps below).  Click HERE , and then run the FixIt!
    Click 'Start' > right click on 'My computer' > select 'manage '.
    Click on Device Manager.
    Do you see a yellow! next to your CD/DVD drive?  If so, you may need to go to your computer manufacturer's website and download the latest driver/firmware.  Is it permits?  If this is not the case, turn it on and test.

    We can't wait to hear back on your part.
    See you soon

  • My DVD player does not open when I click on the button

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me.
    My DVD player does not open when I click on the button.

    I tried clicking on eject on the DVD drive icon in my computer and it comes up with an error message.
    I think I deleted the cookies the other day. Who would have something to do with the problem?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated that I really don't want to send my phone to a technician.

    Hello

    Try to manually open the CD/DVD drive.
    Near the eject button, you will find a small hole.

    You can use a small object like staple and could push gently into this hole.

    Usually, this should help to open the drive manually.

    With that I guess my optical drive is broken, so I tried looking for a replacement. I looked up the name of the optical drive in the HP PartSurfer and he says it's called SPS - DRV DVD SATA BD Combo 12.7. Just to make sure, is this the right part I'm looking for?

  • Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11

    Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.

    Hello, Simone

    I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.

    You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.

    In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.

    It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.

    Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.

    In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.

    If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.

    If so, the location must be registered.

    This laptop is a former view model and think that when I bought the store I bought it since deleted most of the information

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Hello

    There are two possible reasons why you are not able to copy anything to the CD or DVD.

    First, it may be possible that the drives used are not entirely compatible.
    In such cases, it s always advisable to test different CD and DVD from different manufacturers.

    Secondly, the issue could be related to a defective laser lens; in many cases, this can happen because of a physical constraint. If the laser lens can not calibrate in a good position, then the player will not be able to handle the inserted discs.
    This could be the worst case, because this issue is not repairable. Just a STRANGE replacement could help.
