My computer does not recognize a DVD I have, the great work of all other DVD. I think it might be in the format of the disk. Any help would be appreciated.

I think that the disc is a format that is not recognized by Windows. Y their updates or add-ons that will allow me to play in other countries, the video formats on my computer? Thanks again for any assistance.

Please let me know what else, or how I can find something else that you need. Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Most of the USB 2.0 DVD burners will be compatible XP (be sure to get a burner so you can make CD
    and DVDs and not just play).

    A very good source of information would be supported by the manufacturer of your system and their forums (if any).

    Another good source would be your local computer store or even a major retailer like Best Buy
    or the FRY.

    This is good, but there are many good brands.

    DVD burner does not recognize blank dvd inserted into the pc

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART 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 coward
    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
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

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

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.
