  Media player from Windows

  Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
  is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started
  may be your solution.

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

  Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
  media players:

  VLC Media Player

  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Media Player Classic Home Cinema
  http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Or... you can try to download and install one of the
  Following codec packs.

  (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
  point before installing any software or updates).

  * Proceed at your own risk *.

• Mr. Fix it cannot fix the DVD/CD, reading and writing problem

  I had a problem a few months ago this onc I put a CD in the CD/DVD drive, it can't read and rejected and ask to put a readable CD, then I run Mr. Fix and the problem disappeared. recently just the same problem, I tried Mr.Fix but it cannot solve the problem, then it is there another way to solve the problem

  Best regards

  Hello

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as it is often the set of operations which solves the problem.

  Try this double click Control Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - device - tab - click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive of the driver - 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, might have a cable loose 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 at 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 system manufacturer and the manufacturer of the 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 (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read). 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 entries in the registry that the troubleshooter does not solve, and those who "could" be the cause.

  Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the correct registry entries for your car.

  These are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - secondary-keys for the CD/DVD drive of course because there 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

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  You can probably find more information here and maybe even registry settings correct for your CD/DVD from someone with the same drive model.

• Satellite M40 - DVD / CD player - reading and writing problems

  My M40-704 has developed a habit of not recognizing some discs DVDs and also a few CDs. This is unrelated to the quality is very difficult to find what exactly is the cause. I have the TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R6112 drive. On an another Tosh I have for work (a Tecra) I have a NEC drive, which works very well. I'm stumped and annoyed.

  Right now I can't read all white or written on DVD/R is the most annoying question... Is this just a reader of trash? I wait too long? Yours confused

  Hello

  You know that not all CD/DVD media are compatible with all readers.
  As far as I know that you will find information about the support of CDs and DVDs in the user manual.
  However, I use TDKs and I m very satisfied with them.
  In my opinion, you should test several media.

• Reading CD/DVD and written Publisher details that problems detected by car is not able to burn (TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S202J) he can read, but he can't write DVDs/CDs

  ,
  My name is shabani, I have a CD/DVD writer is to say Samsung (TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH - S202J) it can play DVDs/CDs but stops when burned in any burning software. The drivers are 'ok' and is there something that can be done?

  Hello SanjuSS,

  If this still happens after two distinct formats, then you may very well be hardware problems here.

  When burn us a CD/DVD, we use a separate component that reads.

  There are diagnoses of material that accompanies this disc and can we run them.

  It would be wise to contact the manufacturer at this time.

  Best regards

• Re: My Satellite A200 - 28 p has stopped reading all DVD and CD

  Hello

  My Satellite a200 - 28 p used to read CDs and DVDs, but all of a sudden does not recognize cd or recordable cd brand he does not even recognize the recovery disc came with my laptop.

  I only got November laptop of Dixon's so ask why I'm having this problem when it is relatively new. It is a hardware problem software? All patches, easy?

  When I insert the disk and go to my computer it does not there be a disc in the drive of dvd - rw at all. When I double click on the dvd - rw drive, the Player automatically opens and I am asked to insert a disk, even if there is already in the drive.

  Help! : o).

  Hello!

  I agree with Akuma. Try removing the upper and lower filters that is also described in this paper to Toshiba:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7801XL0000R01.htm

  If it doesn't work try to boot from a bootable CD or DVD. So you can make sure if it s a software or hardware problem.

  Good bye

• Playback of DVD and streaming problems

  Hi, I have problems when I play DVD or stream movies. The DVD stop and start during playback and the same happens when streaming. I tried everthing Inc. system restore, I do not have the disk of vista because it was preinstalled on my pc, any suggestions?

  Hello

  I suggest you a boot minimum troubleshooting to try to isolate which interferes with the normal operation:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 do not assume that any program of an individual could not be at fault.

  A preinstalled system must have a method to reinstall, it's usually a separate accessible at startup restore volume. Preinstall the system builders rarely provide records of our days. Note that these procedures for recovering factory usually erase all data currently on the system. Your support online documentation or the manufacturer of the system will have details on how to use the method of recovery that they have planned.

• Pavilion 15-n063sl win8 - dvd and hd problem

  Hello

  I have only two questions,

  East - the normal noise "trak trak" when I turn off the laptop?

  also

  My HDD has smart "Unsafe Shutdown Count' parameter is close to 131000

  but only 30 power over time. How is that possible?

  

  Thanks for the reply. I am pleased that the question of the judgment seems to be retained for the time being. Just keep an eye on it, because other things could go wrong.

  Regarding the noise of the DVD player, the sound could be a normal cheque when it turns on. However, I have re-tested this theory on a 15 in my possession Pavilion and wasn't able to recreate any noticeable noise. Yet once, keep an eye on it. It is may be normal, but then again you never know.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!

• Satellite L500D - can't read/write DVD

  Hello

  About a fortnight ago my DVD drive stopped reading/burning DVD and now only times/burns CD I followed the guides to remove the upper and lower filters and reformatted my laptop to factory State and the DVD player does not work.

  I bought a new replacement drive, and is not reading the DVD either so im assuming that my original DVD player worked but there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop itself?

  I bought the laptop in November ' 09 so it is still under warranty or is there anything else I can try?

  See you soon

  Hi mitchello,.

  > and reformatted my laptop to the factory of the State and the DVD drive has failed.
  If you have tested with factory settings and it still doesn t work it s hardware malfunction but it strange why s it doesn t work with a new disk

  What program you use to read or write DVDs? I can recommend the VLC to play all the multimedia content and CD Burner XP Media Player like burning program. Both programs are freeware and works perfectly. Never had a problem with these tools.

  Have you bought a new drive to an authorized service? I ask this question because not all readers are compatible with all mobile phones due to the assignment of the different pins. If the new drive does not work you can return it for a replacement.

• Problem reading DVD and CD - RW on the Satellite 1800 412

  HI -.

  My laptop has recently stopped playing all DVD and CD - RW - ordinary CD work fine, but when I try to play a DVD or a CD - RW it whirs for a while, then I get the message "Windows cannot read this disk. The disc may be damaged, or it could be in a form that is not compatible with Windows.

  I use a Satellite 1800-412, Windows XP (home edition) Service Pack 2, and the DVD drive is a SD-C2502.

  I watched the updates of the firmware of my drive to http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/index.asp?nav=HOM&page=HOM&frame=home as this is often recommended for problems of this kind on this forum - but not all are available.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks much :-)

  Hello

  I read on some sites that doesn't update the firmware solves this problem.
  I recommend you to remove the drive from Device Manager.
  After restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again. Perhaps this procedure will help you solve this problem.

• Hello! I have a laptop HP Compaq 6730 s with a windows XP SP2 OS. I need help with my drive burning/writing speed CD/DVD and its ability to play DVD. __

  There an Optiac DVD RW AD-7561 pilot. Before it used to have a 8 X read speed and a 8 X write speed, I can see via NERO everytime I have will burn a DVD. But now the writing speed has become 2 X and therefore more adjustable from a NERO software. And also I tried to burn a DVD every time, he finished but it does'nt displays data that has been burnt at all... I already tried to uninstall this software, rebooted and installing it, thinking that this might well be the cause of the problem, but it's always the same. I even tried to install Roxio 9, hoping that this will solve the problem, but it still shows the same write speed 2 X... His ability to read and burn to a CD is fine, but the problem is when it comes to DVD's just makes a strange noise and takes a long time before displaying the content of the DVD and its ability to burn a data file on a DVD...

  Before this problem occurred, I remember I have inserted a DVD and tried to copy paste its content on my desktop. But while the copy is in progress, I accidentally typed on the eject button while trying to reach for my cell phone, which was placed next to the my laptop cd/dvd drive.

  IM desperate and I need an experts'advise on what to do...

  Thanking you in advance,
