Satellite Pro A100: CD/DVD player will not play the audio CD or video DVD

People,
I have a Satellite Pro A100, with a RUG * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841 S Drive.
It will read fine data disks, but refuses to play with the audio CD or video DVD.

I tried to uninstall & Re-Installing DVD - RAM Driver;
That got rid of the "IO error" that I received, unfortunately I don't notice the full error: S.
He now just doesn't see the drive. Someone at - it ideas?

I did a full windows update, and the Toshiba Diagnostic util tell me anything useful except "Fail" :(

I found a thread in this forum that describes a similar theme:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19747&MessageID=72404

Sometimes this error is displayed because the player does not support the environment.
Always it is every way is supported by readers and I think that in the user manual, you will find an index CDs or DVDs compatible

Maybe the drive is defective and can not calibrate lens in the right position.
But this laptop is not very old, and I can't imagine that the drive is defective
However, nothing is impossible.

What you can do is to carefully clean the lens and see that it will help.

  • Windows Media Player will not play the .mp4 files after installation IE10 - BEX error message

    Hello! Recently, when I tried to read a file .mp4 on Windows Media Player, the player would immediately stop working and tell me that he could not play this type of file, even if the day before he could do so without any problem. I had an option to close the program or click to more information, so when I clicked for more information, he gave me this:

    Back to a system restore point previous fixed the problem and I could again play the files in Media Player, but during the night that Windows updates installed and the morning I could not play these .mp4 files once more. So I restored to a point earlier, changed my updates so that they are is more automatic and by installing each day at a time, I finally isolated the problem in Internet Explorer 10. If I install that, just Windows Media Player will not play these files.
    I tried a manual update of Internet Explorer 10, turn off all the options of toolbars shit and everything, thinking that when it automatically installs those who may be included, but that has not helped. Had to go back to my previous IE10 restore point. So no matter what, Internet Explorer 10 kills my ability to play .mp4 on Windows Media Player files.
    I don't have toolbars running on IE9 at all.
    I know that's obvious answer is 'do not install Internet Explorer 10' or if I do, download another player for .mp4 files. But the fact is, it shouldn't happen, it is indicative of something being wrong, and I would like TO be able to install Internet Explorer 10 AND use Windows Media Player to play these files. If someone else has had this problem, or know a way to fix it?
    Here are my system specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
    Intel Core i5 - 3350P @ 3.10 GHz CPU
    ASRock H77M LGA 1155 motherboard
    8 GB DDR3 240 - Pin SD RAM
    Diamond Radeon HD 7870PE52GV 7870 GHz video card
    And all my programs are installed on this:
    SAMSUNG series Pro 840 MZ-7PD256BW 2.5 "256GB SATA III MLC internal Solid State Drive
    I'd appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you!!
     
    It sounds like your question. I think you should uninstall this update and
    hide and see if that solves your problem. Please report.

    I tried myself after experiencing the same problem and error code. I uninstalled the KB2670838 update, and then my Windows Media Player finally worked again. I also found that IE 10 must be uninstalled as well. Installation of IE 10 also automatically installs the update of KB2670838 platform. After uninstalling KB2670838, IE 10 automatically uninstall with it, better you hide two updates so that they do not install again. From the link in the previous post, I learned that the platform update is having problems of conflict with the AMD drivers. Good luck to you and hope this helps.

    Original title: Media Player 11

    Out of the blue, my media player has stopped working. I don't think I did something for him, but he started playing an audio CD. I have no error message, it will not play. I have another media player on my computer, which didn't interfere with Media Player 11, but I get an error message that says that it cannot open "" MRL CDSG: / / / D: / ".

    Hello

    1. are you able to play the songs in the Windows Media Player library?

    2. is the specific question on a CD?

    3. What are the types of audio file that do not play?

    Method 1: As happens with another player more, it might be that particular CD is corrupt.

    Try again with another CD and see if that plays.

     

    Method 2: Although most CD using the file system ISO 9660 CD Windows XP can read CD created by other operating systems may use filesystems not supported. The most obvious example is the Mac CD using the HFS file system.

  • Windows media player will not play any audio CD

    When the game is selected, it scrolls through the list of titles and then stops.  It is on a work computer running Windows XP SP 2 and using roaming profiles.  Another user is able to play the cd on this computer and this user is able to play the same cd on another computer.  I tried the update of Media Player 9 for Media Player 11 but no change.  I tried to delete the user profile directory and not recreating also no change.

    So, your best bet would be to rename your profile.  You will probably need an administrator to rename your profile.

    Reach:
    C:\Documents and settings
    Rename your profile, simply add .old the end of it.
    When you reconnect, a new profile will be generated, and you should have music again.

  • my windows media player will not sync the audio for my mp3?

    my windows media used to synchronize all audio of my mp3 player more I don't know what happens. the pc is reading being installed, but every time I try to sync the music my windows media player stops working.

    Hello RedFeather01,

    Ø you get an error when you try to run synchronize your device with the media player?

    Ø have you tried to format your Portable device and then try to synchronize?

    Ø you have the latest version of the software or the driver installed on your computer to the MP3 player?

    Try to copy the files of music from Windows Explorer. Most MP3 players will appear as a "disk" on your computer, and you can browse the files on them by simply opening.

    I suggest that you format your Portable device, and then try to sync with Media Player. To format the laptop drive:

    1. right click on the Portable media player.

    2. Select the option.

    3. choose quick format and click ok.

  • Photo Gallery will not play the new game camera video. I don't get colors type screensaver, drawings and models, after downloading the pictures.

    My system is Vista.  Game camera is a Bushnell HD and I can download from an SD card or a direct cable to the photo gallery.  However when I play the video all that can be seen is the same type of screen saver of colors and of protections in motion seen when playing music.  The sound of the segment can be heard clearly, but you don't see nothing recorded.

    Hello

    I understand from the information you have provided to us, that you are facing problems during playback of videos in the Windows vista photo gallery. I will certainly help you in this matter.

    What is the format of the file?

    If Windows Movie Maker is installed, photo library will play videos in these types of files

    ASF, AVI, MPEG and WMV. Not all editions of Windows Vista come with Windows Movie Maker installed.

  • Windows Media Player will only play a sound with no video .avi and .mov

    I started having a problem where the Windows Media Player will only play the audio portion of my .avi and .mov video files.

    These files were created by my FlipCam or my Sony Handycam.

    I never had problems until recently and think that it is due to some kind of Windows Update.

    Both my computer and my wife's computer had the same problem and we are both using Windows XP Home Edition.

    I apologize if this topic already on this forum.

    Thanks for any help and advice.

    CoDec = compressor decompressor.
    A program is used to compress the file. You then need to unpack the file to play, you need the codec used to compress the file to decompress it on your pc.
    You need DVD playing software installed to power the mpeg codec, or you can buy a codec to just run in media player.
    AVI is a wrapper and may well contain more than 800 different file types, it has 800 different codecs!  Thus, to read an avi file, you should know what codec was used to do and have that installed on your pc to read.
    DV.avi is made with the dv codec, divx.avi is made with the divx codec.
    Of course, that manufacturers make their codecs, you must make sure you have the latest being, to be able to read files made with it, so everything just because you downloaded the codec divx 12 months ago does not mean it will play files created with codecs of today!

    I hope this explains it is ok for you.

    It surprises me that you say that you have downloaded all the updates of altest, but are still running wmp9, where we are now on WMP11 for XP and 12 for win7.

    I would update my WMP version first.

    Here is a page that will tell you that the codecs are on your pc and who has access to WMP 11.
    http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/HowToFindCodecs.html

    Here is a page that will tell you how to know what codec was used to create the file that you are trying to watch and also if you have the right codec for it
    http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/AVIcodec.html

    It is generally accepted that the codec packs adding is a bad idea, so if you need a codec to read a certain file, google it's manufacturer and just install the one you need.

    I would work just on the pc at the same time when you found what the problem is, you can fix on the other 2.

    Need more help with this, just ask.

  • My windows media player will not play a DVD

    My windows media player will not play a DVD: Microsoft Windows 95 Version 5.1 (Build 2600.XP_SP3_gdr.111025 - 1629:Service Pack 3).  Download a free version of media player to play the DVD?  Please tell me the name of the upgrade and where to find the free download version, if so.  Thank you!

    First thing that you do not run windows 95 if your build number is 2600.XP_SP3 it is a build number of windows XP.  Second, you will not be able to play DVDs using this version of windows and media player only.  The reason for this is DVD is a standard that a group of companies shut down and basically, they demand rights fees to use, it codec, which you don't have. You will need get a program that has integrated these codec (or find them somewhere).  Your best option for this is to completely abandon the but of the using Media player to play your DVD (unless you are looking to buy another piece of software).  There is a free option that I use on my machine Windows 7 Basic its called VLC is a free player that makes just about every format out there (not sure Bluray).  VLC uses its own codec (I think it's developed for the linux community orginially) rather than using the codec of the industry.  You can find the program at http://www.videolan.org/
