• Alienware 14 will NOT play the DVD-

  I just spent $1,800 on a new computer Alienware 14, and I'm NOT happy.

  Slot load optical drive will play Blu-Rays.

  It won't play a DVD. I can't find a firmware update, or anything like that. It is located in Mashita UJ167. It is fixed at 1/region A.

  While the DVD is not as important that they were a few years ago, I certainly will spend $1800 on a computer that is defective. If someone had a similar problem and knows a solution, please help.

• Could not initialize and I need to recover the data on the hard drive.

  Original title: computer MOM will not start and I need to recover the data on the hard drive.

  It's an old computer and I do not know what version of Windows it was running.  I guess I need a bootdisk of exploitation, but where can I download that?  Or would it be easier to pull and make a secondary drive in my computer that I just replaced?  It works under Windows XP.

  Hello

  If the old system does not start could be the hard drive. Put the hard drive in another computer as a 2nd drive and then access the files. If you use a computer XP, Vista or Windows 7, you should be able to access the files, unless the drive has failed.

  You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd drive (better) or a USB external drive case and then save up to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives. Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

  Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data. (This will not work if the hard disk is defective or other issues preventing the system from booting from the CD/DVD drive.)

  Our computer working again after installing a new hard drive and reinstall all Windows XP Home edition software from disks under Windows license, I got with the computer again. All software updates at the current level (SP3, etc.) have been downloaded. "But while I could play DVDs before the accident, I cannot now and the message reported by both, ' WindowsMedia cannot play the DVD because a DVD compatibledecoder is not installed on your computer.

  Why did I have a decoder of media player before the crash, but not now? Before the accident, I had not bought any software DVD player or downloaded any free DVD playback software, it was on new Dell computer.

  Windows xp does not come standard with a dvd decoder, so it must be installed. This would have been done by Dell when you purchased if you say that you did not.

  You have all the disks in Dell? If so, get through them dvd playing software, common are windvd or powerdvd.

• Media Player11 will not play video (DVD disc). The sound is fine and a DVD decoder was installed.

  Where to start... After you download the necessary drivers and also I was able to get my sound work. Then, I bought and downloaded the dvd decoder, InterVideo DVD XPack. When I put a DVD in the drive, Media Player appears and I press play and I hear the sound but I do not see any video!

  I tried to download and use other video players, but none have worked so far. Everyone give me reasons why they can not read/play the disc or separate errors. Some have suggested that I change my screen resolution or color quality. I have and nothing makes a difference. Only, I can choose between 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 (16-bit or 32-bit).

  DVD decoder not installed?

  I went to play a DVD on my computer this evening and received this msg: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
  A few weeks ago, I played DVD on my computer. I would like to know what is happening. Any ideas/suggestions?

  I tried to play one of the same DVDs I played before... same message.  Nothing to my knowledge has been removed from my computer and I'm the only one with access... "very confused.

  Thanks if anyone can help.

  Yes, and if you install the utility on your system, you'll see all decoders.

  The utility will also tell you if a decoder is compatible or not.

  Using Media Player version 10 or 11?

  the utility tells me I have no decoder... the only thing I can think is that if I actually deleted it... I rarely remove anything because I do not add a lot... but it is possible a few weeks ago, I have to get rid of some things (I'm quite cautious because I'm not an expert).   It is the Media Player version 11, I was trying to use... but I rebooted now 10 to see if there was something to update related that mess.

  because I used the VLC Player successfully, I have not yet tried Windows Media Player (since WMP reloading and load the codec pack)

  So great to have the entry of a person who knows what he's doing.  Thanks again. I will try the Windows Media Player later and see if I have his use of return.

  Have a great day!
