nothing happens when I try to play a dvd
I have a refurbished HP Pavilion Entertainment PC, dv6448se, with Windows 7 above. I just want to play a DVD, but the computer has no effect when the dvd
is inserted in the drive. The quick game on the computer nothing buttons do. It says I have Windows Media Center/player, but I'm not, and it doesn't show up when I try to play a dvd. Its not listed in the AutoPlay options either. What should I do?

=========================================
If you happen be running Windows 7 Starter Edition or Basic...
a DVD decoder is not included.
As you can see in the following article... MS recommends
upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, Ultimate or business.
Info about DVD decoders: Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins
And... maybe the following articles provide some ideas:
Windows 7 - read a CD or a DVD in Windows Media Player
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/play-a-CD-or-DVD-in-Windows-Media-Player
Windows 7 - compare editions of Windows 7
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/compare
Still no luck?
One of the following freeware media readers can
be worth a try... they'll play anything.
(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)
VLC Media Player

(works on XP/Vista/7)
(the name of the file to download is: vlc - 2.0.3 - win32.exe)

My laptop suddenly stopped opening my Hotmail emails. I can connect to Hotmail and records are regularly updated with new emails, but nothing happens when I try to read an email. The cursor will just highlight the particular word on what it is and do nothing. As far as I know, nothing else was done on my computer. This could be the cause?

Loud noise clicking noise when you try to play a DVD
HP Pavilion d4995t desktop PC with High Definition Realteck Audio Ultimate. Vista Premium o/s. I play my sound through my HDMI cable to the speakers in my monitor. When I try to play a DVD in the DVD player, I get a loud clicking with no sound from the DVD. This only happens to the DVD. CDs play sounds without problem. If I copy the same files to DVD on the hard drive, I can play from the hard drive and the sound works. If I connect speakers to the audio output and disable the HDMI output, I can play the DVD in the DVD player and games sound through the speakers without noise. I ran his tool from Microsoft without success. Updated all the audio drivers. I reloaded Vista, which corrected the problem. But as time passed the problem comes back. I suspect that the problem was caused by a Microsoft Update. Someone at - it suggestions?

Nothing happens when I try to click on certain tabs or links on various websites
Suddenly, Firefox does not respond when I try to click on different things. The hand does not appear and nothing happens. For example, I can not delete emails by clicking on the button Delete or close any other site using the logout button. It doesn't seem to be my computer because I don't have these problems when I use Internet Explorer.

Please check if this happens in Safe Mode.

Nothing happens when you try to open Adobe Reader or pdf
When I try to open Adobe Reader (any version), nothing happens. I'm running Windows 7 Pro and tried to uninstall Reader 9 & 11, running a suggested fix, running Adobe cleaning tool to remove it, run it from a CL, but I don't see an error code: 7
There are no errors during installation.
What could be the problem?
Any help is really appreciated.
You can try other things...
- Update drive to 11.0.6
- You can open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try to disable the Protected Mode [Edit |] Preferences | (Improved) security].
- If Reader opens in itself, try to disable the Safe_mode in the registry; Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
- It might even be a malware problem; See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Nothing happens when I try to sync my Treo on my Mac
Hello!
I'm really desperate. I'm used to be able to sync my Treo on my Mac without problem. For a few months, when I plug my usb on my Treo cable and press the HotSync window appears but nothing happens.
I tried Missing SYnc, which I use to sync my data of uninstalling/reinstalling. But still does not.
This could be a problem with the cable? It does not seem to connect, as HotSync window appears, and also since on my Mac, I see that my pocket computer is recognized as plugged in via USB.
I'm quite worried because I've done research on this during the hours and hours and I can't solve my problem. I have data as long as Treo, I just. can. not. lose. He all.
Thanks for your help!
Hello! I just wanted you to know I solved my problem! Yes!
I managed to find another cable and tried to synchronize with this one and it's the same thing: the HotSync window appeared on my Treo and when I clicked the button on cable or on the sync button on my handheld, there was a very brief flash of the synchronization screen that appeared, but he returned to the HotSync window and nothing more.
If the cables seemed to work, my MacBook seems to be to see your handheld, but the synchronization operation has not been the case. I finally thought (duh!) to do a reset software, noticed that I had very little available memory so deleted some files, soft reset again and here, synchronizing perfectly! Finally... Thanks for your help, and the next time I will think to do a reset before anything else! -
