    Thank you.

    Hello

    Have you added any software CD/DVD burning or else around the time that it started to happen? Some may
    compete for resources and cause problems.

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

    Please make these top-down, even if you have some before fact as is often the set of operations which solves the problem.
    It's a checklist and not a menu.

    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

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Hope these helps.

  • Windows Media Player doesn't recognize DVD

  • Have Dell Dimension 2350 with windows XP computer recognizes the CD/DVD-rom drives but won't play CDs or DVDs

    Problem started with a code 39 error code when cumputer did not recognize the readers of CD rom. cure the problem of recognition, but still cannot read any DVD or CD should I replace the disk driver

    If AZEEZ N article did not help you, then try to reinstall the drivers.

    I had the same problem - the computer showed cd/dvd players, but he has not read cd'dvd. I showed it to a computer repair man and he said if reinstalling drivers does not help, then this means that there is a hardware problem and you will need to purchase a new cd/dvd-rom...

  • My Windows XP computer doesn't have internet access. I tried ipconfig and it shows default gateway.

    I have Windows XP Home... and all of a sudden I get no internet access.  When I do ipconfig... it does not show a default gateway.  I did everything update driver LAN, resetting the router, restart, by specifying the IP address (from the automatic ip configuration) and is still not available.  I know that the router is that I can access it from another computer.  any help would be greatly appreciated.

    original title: default gateway problem

    Is the connection wired or wireless?

    What version of XP, including service pack? (do right click my computer and select properties for info)

    It happened just before this problem occurred (failure, virus infection, etc.)?

    If this is a wired connection (which, I suppose, since you mention the 'LAN' pilot), have you tried to connect the Ethernet cable into a different socket on the router, (b) using an Ethernet cable from verified (maybe the computer that works), or (c) confirming that the Green LED next to the computer's Ethernet Jack lights up when the cable is connected?

    Given that you know about ipconfig, it would have helped if you had provided the results of the ipconfig command.  Here's a way to do it, but first configure the card to obtain an IP address automatically

    • Open a command prompt window
    • Type the following lines and press ENTER after each line

    ipconfig/all > "% userprofile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    Notepad '% userprofile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt '.

    • Copy and paste the contents of the Notepad document in your response.  Close the command prompt window and the window of Notepad and remove ipinfo.txt from your desktop.
  • Computer won't read DVD / CD

    I put forward to CD/DVD a few minutes... nothing...
    I go to work, and then on the drive itself...
    I double click on the drive to open the CD/DVD inside the computer and it ejects the disc saying that I need to insert the disc...

    What is happening and why it won't work?

    Hello Zee3,

    Thank you for posting.  This happens with every DVD that you insert into the drive?  If it is only happening with 1 disc may be a bad DVD but if it happens with all DVD/CD that you put in the drive then the drive may have failed.  If this is the case on all disks I recommend to contact your OEM to see if the drive is still under warranty.

    Thank you

    You must have a third-party program to run Blu - ray discs.

    Your new PC must have provided with software to play. Otherwise, I'd contact the manufacturer and see if she did or why it didn't.
