My computer turns off when I try to burn a DVD with Windows DVD Maker__

My computer turns off if I try to burn a DVD with Windows DVD Maker.  It was working fine and now it will not get past a certain percentage without stop.  What can I do?

Hello Timbay1,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

What has changed in your environment, as it was working before and now does not work? Have you installed any new software or updates?
It can be 3rd party software created a conflict with your codecs and you need to re - register.

You could check and see if you have compatible Codecs installed in Windows Vista.
or you can try to use the codec for Vista Codec Pack - pack

There are other 3rd party codecs but I can't guarantee that they will work with Windows Vista.

Please answer back with an update.

Thank you

  • Power problems: computer turns off when the power supply cord is unplugged.

    original title: power problems: computer shit turned off when the power supply cord is unplugged.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv2000

    Windows vista home premium/sp2

    AMD Turion (TM) 64/2 1.80 ghz processor

    1 GB memory

    32 bit operating system

    I have 2 problems with this laptop.

    !. I have lost the power cable and bought an expensive one online step (model: PA-1650-02 c. input 100-240v 1.5 put out a(1,5A) 18.5V 3. 5 = a)

    When I first plugg cord battery charge light came on the balance, then he started to come on and outside.

    now its completely off, even with the power cord plugged in. on the lower right part of the screen its showing that cord is connected to the power supply and the battery is fully charged, but as soon as I unplugg the power cord or remove the computer cut right away.

    the second problem is that the left mouse botton does not work, the work aside right very well. I went in the proprties to put it right, click on to, but who does not work either. I've updated the drivers but still nothing.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi aloum,.

    (a) what kind of mouse you are using?

    (b) the left button of the mouse seems to be stuck or it does not meet the click? This only happens with certain applications?

    Step 1: Test the mouse on another computer or another mouse on the test computer

    To determine whether the mouse or the computer is defective, follow these steps:

    1. test the mouse in question on a system that works, you know. If the problem appears to follow the mouse, you may need to return or replace the mouse.

    2 test a mouse you know is working on the computer in question. If the problem seems to stay on the computer, then the problem is most likely related to the software.

    In regard to the battery not holding charge

    Battery problems are often associated with the battery itself. If you encounter this problem, contact your mobile PC manufacturer. If you purchased the battery separately from the notebook computer, contact the manufacturer of the battery.

  • Time Capsule turn off when you try to access

    1. I have a TC (A1409) with a WD Caviar 2 TB (replacing the HARD drive)
    2. Now, it stops when you try to access the HARD drive on my mac. I mean, it's on, green light, all ok and then I try to look for something on the HDD and it turned off.
    3. It does not work this way, at the beginning he worked just perfect!

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    FWIW, the 4th generation of Capsules of time had problems with their power supplies, specifically because of an overheating. This may not be directly related to your question; However, you use a replacement drive that may be overloading power of the TC.

    Given that the problem only occurs when access them the disk, which will rotate upward and consume more energy, may be the reason why you have this problem.

  • Satellite A210 - 128 (PSAELE) turns off when you try to boot from the CD/DVD

    Hi all. I have a (serious) problem.

    I bought my Toshiba two years ago (it was brand new) with Windows Vista already installed (vista and boot partition). Now I'm trying to boot and install Windows 7 Ultimate, but after I select boot from CD/DVD and start the copy of the system files, my Toshiba * turns *, completely. Overheating is not the problem for sure.

    Anyone with a similar experience or everything to know about how to solve my problem? :(((

    Thnx,

    Stipe

    Hello

    Why you are sure that your computer laptop isn't overheating? In my view turn is the typical pattern of overheating and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.
    Check this box!

    You have this problem when you try to install Windows 7 or make this happen with the Toshiba recovery disc too?

    Maybe during the process of copying the files will be written on a bad sector on the HARD drive and so he shuts himself who knows?

    Hello

    Most likely, there is a problem with the CD/DVD drive. You can burn a data disc when
    don't use not WMP? Close all programs, put in a flammable disk and use the data method.
    If burning a data disc works then you have any add-ons for WMP12?

  • Code 10 error when you try to burn cd/dvd

    error __code 10

    running windows 7 Home premium... gettig code 10 when trying to burn cd/dvd...can't can't find the part upper or lower filters... do I do...

    Hello

    Description of errors related to the 10 Code that generates the Device Manager in Windows on computers
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943104/

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    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
