• DVD player not working not not Satellite Pro A100 - Code 37 error

  Hello

  Someone help on this?

  I have an A-100 and the DVD player has stopped working in XP. I checked the Device Manager and see XP disc but returns this error "Windows cannot initialize the device of this hardware driver. (Code 37) »

  I also noticed that ASAPI.sys is not running in the Task Manager.

  I'm guessing this has something to do with the problem.

  I tried to reinstall the device drivers, but this made no difference. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Error code 37 means the driver returned failure from its DriverEntry routine.
  You can try to delete the driver from Device Manager and rebooted the new OS should recognize the drive device and initialize the driver again.

  If this is not enough, try this procedure:
  Run REGEDIT and open the following folders:

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

  After you click {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} you should see two settings on the right side:
  "Upperfilters".
  'Lowerfilters '.

  Click on each of them, press DELETE, and then click YES.

  Then restart the laptop and see if it was useful.

  I have a Satellite M30X with a combo DVD player.
  My drive I ve formatted, then I installed the readers on the recovery cd and one existing on the toshiba web site and the reader to continue to not be able to write on DVD´s.

  The installed drive is: mast * a DVD-ram UJ - 831 s.

  I used to be able to write all kinds of DVD.

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > I then installed readers on the recovery cd and one existing on the toshiba web site
  Do you mean the DVD-RAM driver?

  As far as I know using DVD-RAM disks in the DVD MULTI drive, data can be written so that the function to write data on discs CD-R/RW standard Windows XP is enabled.

  Then please check if the check CD option activate called this roll
  CD / DVD-> properties-> recording tab
  is enabled or disabled

  By the way; After using the recovery CD, you don't need to install additional drivers. The restore CD contains all the necessary drivers including an important run Notepad correctly.

• Try to get the HD-DVD player to work on the Satellite P100-463

  Hello world.
  I bought this baby the weekend and since I am struggeling trying to get HD-DVDs to work on it. I added the HD_DVD xbox 360 drive, but Power DVD Software Advisor continues to say that the graphic card 9Geforce Go 7900) drivers must be updated to read HD-DVD content. Now, there is no available such as newer driver installed (84.0?)

  Can someone please advise if the card supports protection hdcp anyway? Maybe my problem is another source.
  Thanks for the tips.

  Wait do you use player designed for the Xbox in the Satellite P100?
  Hmm, I m surprised that this device is compatible with the Toshiba laptop.
  Anyway, as far as I know you need a special DVD player to play and watch HD-DVD on the laptop.
  A simple WinDVD does not support the new HD-DVD.

  By the way: I know a Toshiba model that shipped with the HD_DVD drive.
  It was a Qosmio G30 DVD HD model.
  I found a new Nvidia GeForce Go7600 8.3.2.7 Version graphics card driver update in the download section of driver on the Toshiba site
  But I put t know if it s compatible with your card...

• CD/DVD player open on its own - Equium L40

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium L40-10 X recently purchased from Pc World. It has been working fine until recently my reader of cd/dvd broke open on its own. I closed it and then about 10 minutes later he did it again. This happens from time to time. After some research I found that it could be a problem of spyware. Scanned and deleted all traces etc. Problem seemed to have disappeared, but alas, the disc once more burst open.

  Recently the drive does not read disks as well. It seems to work when it wants at any time from 10 seconds up to an hour at a time. Things became an own mind... and when it doesn't, the button to open the player doesnâ? t seem to work. I have to use a paper clip to open the player.

  I have a laptop haunted or there is something wrong.

  Did someone has had an experience of something like it before or give me advice on what to do?

  Thank you, Jon.

  Hi mate

  I didn't noticed anything like this before, but I assume that it s a mechanical problem.
  Don t think that 3rd party software (program, spyware, virus, etc.) could cause this problem.
  In addition, you said that the drive does not read disks as well.

  In this case, I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country and ask for the disc and if necessary audit for a replacement disk WEIRD.

  If the warranty is valid replacement should be done for free.

  Best regards

• Region code of the DVD player

  The DVD on my Pavilion A1375A Media Center PC drive is set to region 1 - I am in Australia (region 4).

  I can't set it to region 4.

  I asked HP to sell me a new DVD player, but they do not know what the new discs region code will be and asked that I contact Microsoft and ask:

  (a) area code would change once a factory of re - configure?

  (b) what would be the new replacement drive region code?

  It seems strange to me that HP can't?

  Hoping someone can help,

  all good wishes,

  David

  Hello

  You must talk to people bad at HP since it is not Windows that
  decides what optical drives of regions are defined.  HP provides probably hundreds
  readers of your region (really the thousands).

  It is by design.

• How to remove the region lock on the DVD player?

  Hello

  My laptop has a pioneer dvr-k16a. I had looked at a few DVD borrowed from my friend who asked the region 1 to play, so I switched it to region 1 and now I can't go back there more. Apparently my DVD - RW being locked in region I don't know after it happens.

  Y does it can someone help me upward?

  Hello

  I do not recommend to Flash Player to make it region free.
  In my opinion the application set are not very serious and risky.

  I read on many sites that after these applications using readers were not able to read and write BIOS or media and operating system will not recognize the drive.

  Of course you can find many Web sites that offer different software, but you know, internal portable players are not cheap and I think the risks are too high.

  By the way: you will also lose the warranty if can damage the drive with such tools
  Be so careful my friend!

• Equim M40x: DVD player will not change the region even with 1 change remaining

  I have a Toshiba Equim M40x with a carpet * a DVD - Ram drive 830 s. My children recently tried to play a region 2 dvd and it failed with the message the DVD player is set in a different region.

  When I went into Device Manager to change the region (it was set to 1), it showed that I had a chance to change.
  However, when I tried to change it, I received an error message: "unable to update region setting. Please make sure the drive contains a region 2 media and you have the privilege of the administration. »

  I tried to put a region 2 dvd in the drive and I have the privilege of the administration and it still does not work.
  I then went looking for firmware free region for this disc, and of course, it does not exist.

  Help!

  Hello

  It of not possible to unlock the DVD player on a legal way.
  Of course, I found many sites that suggest that it of possible to unlock the firmware flash drive.
  But believe me; It is not desirable and very risky!

  I assume that you have already changed the region 5 times code. In such cases, it s already locked.

• How to make DVD player region free player on Satellite L40 - 14Y

  I can not play region 1 DVD on my player. (PowerDVD, windows player) The usual 5 times have been used.

  I've heard of software to make your region free player, but I don't want to ruin my notebook or losing my warranty.

  So is it a software or the ability to solve this problem, or do I really need to get an external hard drive?

  Another question, is my Toshiba DVD player flashes for a while that, for no reason.

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to make the DVD player region free legal way if you have already changed the region 5 times code.
  Now the region code is locked.

  Of course, I have read on various websites that it would be possible to remove this protection from the region and to unlock code region but to my knowledge, this is not legal and very risky.

  Such tools flash the firmware, but it could damage the master/slave/c-salt settings and then the BIOS does not recognize the disc correctly. In addition the player couldn't handle CD/DVD media correctly. In this forum, you will find some discussion on issues

  So to answer you question. using this 3rd party software would be detrimental to the training and would negate the warranty.

  Good bye

• Does anyone know how to unlock region on a CD-ROM DVD player codes?

  Does anyone know how to unlock region on a CD-ROM DVD player codes?  I have this stupid Windows 8 and so far I only have PowerDVD. But I also have windows media player.  I am trying to get Windows Media Player to access the DVD that I used for Windows 7, but whenever I stick one in this computer stupid, by default it starts to Power DVD.

  According to the power dvd faq: "the limit is in accordance with the requirements specified by the major movie studios. PowerDVD allows you to change the codes of the region up to 5 times (also depending on your DVD player) and then automatically record fifth region code setting. Subsequently, you can only play DVD titles in the fifth code region or non - CSS all regions DVD titles. Area code will remain locked even if you reinstall PowerDVD. »

  Is there by chance a legal way around this? I wish I could watch my DVDs on my laptop when I want without locking on my other. I don't do anything illegal as piracy of DVDs, I just want to be able to watch them. Could someone please? Thanks in advance.

  Use another program like VLC player or Potplayer.

  It's by design, not much you can do about it. He was there for Vista/XP

  Otherwise, you will have to Flash a hack of firmware for this DVD region

  Go to default programs and change the format for windows media player

  Hello

  Seems that certain this kind of DVD is not fully compatible with this CD/DVD player
  Sorry, but these issues are not uncommon that you will always encounter discs which are not totally compatible and that the readers of the laser lens is unable to handle this drive

  But just a question; These films are created for the European region?
  I mean there are different regions DVD

  As far as I know the films for European needs region 2
  The United States have need of region 1 and South American setting & Middle need area 4

  So if you want to watch DVD designed for US then you need to change the region to 1 settings.

  But note; You can change the region settings only 4 times then this parameters could be blocked, it is not possible to change it again
