Hello

Yes, there is nothing here that should cause you problems that they
are quite normal procedures. This response has helped hundreds, if not
thousands, correct the CD/DVD WHEN issue if can be corrected
without a re-installation of Windows or a hardware change.

If in doubt do a Restore Point and you can go back as needed
as long as this Restore Point is valid.

    Seems that the lens cannot read this miniDVD s. Maybe cannot calibrate the lens of the drive and the miniDVD is so illegible.
    Try the sascha. Maybe you are a lucky man, and it works.
    If this is not the case, try to remove the drive physically from the laptop. Restart the laptop without the drive. The BIOS and Windows shouldn't t recognizes the drive.

    Media player from Windows

    Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
    DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
    is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

    If you could play before commercial video DVD...
    do a system restore to a time before this started
    may be your solution.

    Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

    Info about DVD decoders:

  • Need expert help! CD player does not read the contents of the disc. Help!

    I searched and tried everything what we can imagine and impossible to find a solution. I can also restore because I don't really know this error at startup. Here are the symptoms and fixes I've tried. If there is someone out there who could help me it would be greatly appreciated!

    System:, I have XP w/SP3 installed. Dual-Core 3.0 G w / 3G P5N72T - MB Ram, HD 300 G, Asus CD/DVD Drive.

    Symptoms:

    • I had my CD player connected via PATA ribbon cable and my hard drive connected via a SATA cable.
    • My CD player will not autorun when an installation disc is installed.
    • My CD player will not read or display the contents of the disc when I use the file Explorer.
    • My letter of CD drive is D:\ and always appear as one of the discs.
    • When I use the command "run" and type: D:\install or D:\setup a windows "disk is not formatted" error appears stating "Windows is unable to read the disc. The disk might be corrupted or it could be in a form that is not compatible with windows.
    • My Green CD player will sweep on and I can hear it turn every time I try to explore the files or after I insert a disc, but she never autoruns, or displays content.
    • I decided to buy a new SATA CD drive and installed, unfortunately it does not work either exact problems remain.
    • I have two CD drives to another computer and they both work. So I know this isn't the disc or the lens.
    • I ran the utility Microsoft Fix It and she finds nothing wrong.
    • I ran the TweakUI to make safe autoplay features are on.
    • I did all the registry fixes proposed by microsoft and online forums. i.e. upper and lower, filters etc.
    • I removed the device from Device Manager and reinstalled.
    • I ran a virus, spyware, malware, and everything is clean.
    • I have the latest version of the system bios and all settings are fine. Most are on Auto that are associated with the detection.
    • Type of device DMA modes are selected in automatic detection.
    • If I could read a disc that I could try to reinstall windows XP, but it is not an option now until my CD player is fixed!
    • I don't have any installed like Nero buring CD software.
    • I actually installed Nero Light to see if it would read a disc, and of course I can see the disk and copy its content to my hard drive or take an image of the disk.
    • I tried to rename the drive, disconnect the drive.
    • I'm sure I tried other things, but can't remember right now!

    Thanks for your help in advance!
    Mike

    Hi msavage2000,

    It seems you have tried most of the steps to solve this problem. However, we would like to know if the drive does recognize the drive?

    As we know readers work, I would like you to try a new PATA/IDE cable and check the result.

    Hello

    You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).

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

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

    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.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
    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
    other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

  • Satellite T130 - 10G: Firefox does not read any video or flash content more

    My Firefox does not read any video or flash content more. And in watching the news of repair troubleshooting/malfunction in Firefox under graphics, he said that "Direct2D activated" and 'WebGL Renderer' have been blocked because of the version of the graphics driver.

    I downloaded a new version on the Toshiba site, but an update of the driver can not find the new version.
    I had briefly solved the problem by installing the new driver from the file but it is not recognized in Device Manager.

    Automatic update through Windows just tells me that the driver is up-to-date.
    I have the Satellite T130 - 10G.

    Would be great if someone could help.

    Thank you!

    Hmmmm... as you know Toshiba doesn't support third party software so I think that your question has nothing to do with Toshiba directly.

    You find the same content with other browsers?

  • Tecra M1 will not read any type of SD card

    Help!
    According to the title, my M1 will not read any type of SD card. I'm running the SP2 of XP reloaded from original floppies, and it is fully up-to-date with Windows Update.
    The little green light adjacent to the slot flashes briefly on the insertion of a card, but nothing happening for example no open option window and nothing visible in my computer.

    I downloaded the latest drivers and installed according to the directives of the readme.txt file and even thought to copy the SDDEVMGR.dll in the System32 folder.
    I obviously lack something, so any help or pointers are welcome.

    Thank you very much. Craig

    Hello

    Usually, books are not all sizes of SD card and so you should be sure that the used SD card is supported and compatible with the Tecra M1 card reader.

    But if you are using a compatible SD card the laptop should be able to read/write on the SD card.
    I try to remove the SD card in the Device Manager controller and remove the driver software malfunction. Restart the computer and install the latest drivers again.

    PS: A registry cleaning would be desirable. CCleaner is a great registry cleaning applications
