    Hello

    1. are you able to read any type of file .doc or .txt of DVD?

    After following all the steps (including the update of the MP9 for Media Player [MP] 11) below

    I can get the drive to DISPLAY all the data from the DVD (Master & Commander 'movie)

    on-screen MP11.  He plays (automatically) the intro (ONLY) from the DVD music (as when you put it in a DVD player, forward to press PLAY) MP11 shows all of the content and all the files on the DVD and SEEMS ready to play, but pressing on PLAY don't either not anything.

    2 , what exactly happens when you try to burn the CD? You get the error message?

    Not nothing... He's here

    3. How do you try to burn CDs?

    MediaPlayer, selection of a track list, made a list of titles, and then click BURN... nothing happens

    4 have you tried to play the DVD content in ? windows media player

    I had not before, but now I have.  Previously it was default to my SELECTION WIN DVD4 as the DVD player (I think I've EVER SEEN the WINDVD format/start page on the front screen - it wasn't the default front DVD player either but don't remember what program PLAYS the DVD, he ' comes of ").  Now, go back and see 1. above for MP11 more details.

    Try to update the drivers of CD-RW/DVD drive and check. Also update the graphics driver.

    I did the entire bottom.

    He asks if I have an OEM driver and / disk... NO.. I run the program through...

    "Hardware update Wiz can not find a better match the software installed"

    4. right click on the graphics card and select Update driver. »

    "Question: media in the CD-RW/DVD drive is not readable" CLICKED top DIFFICULTY... and after computer "worked" on this subject awhile, he says STATUS: fixed.  St ill did not.   MP9 introduced the format of the DVD player but don't seem to read anything other then showing a list:

    Title2

    Title 3 etc., but could not do anything with this list.

    He appeared a box asking if I wanted to update my MP9... sure why not so I shut everything down and uninstalled 9 and installed Media player 11.

    Go BACK to # 1. now once again.  This is where I am.  MP11 shows all DVD data, the chart "the Album/DVD cover, all"titles"on the DVD, AND play the track audio 'intro' DVD but will not actually READ the DVD. "

    So far it's PROGRESS.  We are at a point where it SEEMS at least that we are ready to PLAY and MP can SEE all the info on the DVD.

    These problems usually occur because the lens of the player is unable to calibrate correctly.

  • D/DVD-ROM drive cannot read the CD or DVD

    Hello

    I use Windows Vista on my laptop. Its quite some time that I did not use my DVD/CD drive. Today, I try to use but cannot read any CD or DVD. I was trying to solve the problem of updating the drive, but still cannot fix. Can I use Microsoft FIX IT microsoft support but the problem still there.

    Something to say: windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration (in the registry) information is incomplete or damage (Code 19).

    Click on 'Search the soluton' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
    I did it but the result is COULD NOT LOAD DRIVER SOFTWARE.

    Please advise what should I do?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    It is very rare for the methods in the 1st answer above does not fix a Code 19.

    You might have a disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD and CD burn and)
    DVD playback). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

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

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
    Your player registry entries.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
    other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    Hello

    It of very unusual. Try this: go to the properties of the drive DVD ram (right-click).
    Somewhere in the properties is a checkbox to enable digital CD PLAYBACK. Make sure this box is checked.

    In Autoplay make you a corresponding task is associated with music CD and not action.
    Load a music CD and then right-click on your CD-ROM drive. There should be a PLAY option.

    If the DVD player not working after this change, so I think that it s something wrong with the hardware.
    In my opinion, you should contact the service partner.

Try to use high quality media like Word to Word and Tdk, clean with a lens cleaning disc. It's typical responses to your problem. If it does not help, it may be hardware issue.

  • Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)

    my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

    Hello

    I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
    In this case, you need additional codecs.
    This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
    Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

    According to this statement you must have installed Windows XP SP3 home edition.

    Your ad is a bit confusing to me. You have a problem with the functionality of DVD - RAM or optical disc drive cannot read all drives (different CD, DVD, DVD - R formats. DVD + R and so on)?

    I put t know what is the problem with the optical disc drive, but way generally, an installation of software packages has nothing to do with ODD when you use it as first boot device.

  • HP Pavilion X 2: HP Pavilion XP cannot read data from USB DVDs

    We bought a HP 10-ND200ND (HP pavilion X 2) in the Mediamarkt and tried to install Microsoft Office from a DVD via a DVD USB Samsung player.  This was not possible. According to Support Mediamarkt this product is a Tablet and so cannot read data DVD´s. Only General to play music. To buy a laptop computer for this application. The operating system is Windows 10 (32 bit). Is that correct. Please advice.

    Hi Banhien, the cause is known. I have seen other comments on the HP forum and concluded that the reader needs more power than is available through the USB connector of. I added a hub that can provide power to its connectors USB, HP X 2, by car and the problem has been resolved! It was noted that the mini USB is also more powerful and with the type of adapter USB USB C it might also work, but I did not test this, because I do not have such an adapter. It's odd that such a mini can provide more power. It is surprising that the HP Pavilion X 2 does not have a powerful USB. But the problem is solved. Thanks for your response! Best regards, wiely

    If I run iTunes or Real Player, suffice to say it is a blank disc in the drive and told me to get ready to burn to a disc. But in his own info says that the disc is full! Windows XP sees the drive in 'Properties' and said that it is complete, but does not display the contents of the disc. Devices, said the drive (type HL-DT-STDVDRAM GSA-U10N) "working properly".

    I have turned off the HDD (software protection movement) protection because he stirs a warning whenever the unit darn picked. I tried to use the drive with it on and outside. My computer is 18 months old (I think), but this problem has existed for a year and gets more and more frustrating.

    I just got my new Tecra M10 - 11U and noticed 2 things troubling
    (1) my DVD cannot read DVD + R - Vista recognized the DVD and its type, but cannot open it. Ideas?
    (2) my drive letters are C and E, where is my D drive, is the hidden recovery drive?
    Is it safe to change the E to D drive

    Nirko

    Hello

    1. it is not easy to provide a response to this. The question is rather general and who knows what kind of things is on this DVD + R media.
    2 D drive probably doesn t exist. You can check if the D drive letter is available for free. If so this means that this player is not available. You can check in computer management > disk management. Choose the second partition and click with the right mouse button > choose the option change the drive letter or path. You will see that D is available here.

    Recovery disk doesn t exist and it is not hidden. Toshiba recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition.
    * You can change the drive letters, but before you do anything whatsoever, please create recovery DVD.*
