Hi Richard,

The problem persists during a particular DVD playback?

Your CD or DVD drive is missing or not recognized by Windows or other programs, so you cannot play or access a CD or a DVD. This issue would have occurred after you installed, uninstalled or updated a program or you updated Windows.

Otherwise, this issue may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

  • You upgrade the computer to Windows Vista or Windows 7
  • You install a service pack Windows
  • You install or uninstall a CD or DVD recording program
  • You uninstall Microsoft Digital Image

Perform the steps from the link below and see if it works.
