• Re: Satellite 1900-303 won't play DVD

  * Hi all, *.

  I have a Satellite S1900-303 which suddenly stopped playing DVDs.

  * Operating system *: XP Pro SP3
  * RAM: * 1 GB
  * HARD DRIVE: * 320 GB
  * DVD Rom: * Standard Toshiba SD-R2212
  * Chart: * Standard ATI Mobility Radeon
  * Software *: WinDVD 8 Platinum

  The DVD - ROM drive will recognize and play / install from a CD but not a DVD.

  I did all the usual checks:

  The device driver is up to date,
  Device Manager"indicates that the DVD - ROM drive works correctly.
  Tried to play a DVD through Windows Media Player, but the CD & DVD options are 'greyed out '.

  Everyone has a similar problem, and if so, is there a solution to this problem?

  Hey mate,

  How did you check if the device driver is up to date? There is no update driver for all CD/DVD players

  Normally, if CD works fine but no DVD, it appears to be a malfunction of the equipment. Before Exchange you it, try to clean the lens using a microfibre cloth.
  In addition, you need to test if you can boot from a bootable DVD to check if it s a software issue or not.

  As I wrote already in the worst case you need a new drive :(

• Satellite P855-307 is not play the latest Blu - ray discs

  The Toshiba Blu - ray disc player is is more grateful or play the Hollywood movie Blu - ray discs.

  The recent Hollywood film set of Blu - ray discs in both my Pioneer HDD-Recorder/Blu-ray player and play on my PS3, it is why blu - ray discs are fine.

  Drive Blu - ray on the satellite p855 works so I can play Blu - ray movies non-Hollywood on my Satellite P855 (e.g. "in the shadow of the Moon") as well.

  This also indicates that the Toshiba Blu - ray disc player software can work, so something else is preventing the operation.

  BIOS 6.80 VICTORY
  Version of Toshiba - 1.05.207 Blu - ray disc player.
  Is Blu - ray zone B and 5 changes remain (never has been changed).

  There is no firmware update on the support site of Toshiba for the BD - ROM Pioneer BDC - TD04S.
  Satellite P855-307 runs the original OS (Win 7 HP 64-bit).

  Read the Readme to Toshiba Blu - ray disc player mentions AACS key renewal, although I don't see any way mentioned anywhere by which's made it.

  Corel WinDVD is of no assistance as a player, as well as the trial version of WinDVD 11 recognizes only Intel HD4000 graphics.

  Trial version of CyberLink PowerDVD can't read Blu - ray Disc movie Hollywood but will play non-Hollywood films such as "In the Shadow of the Moon".

  It seems you have a problem to play only some specific BD discs.

  I m not quite sure that your problem, but from my point of view it may be a problem of firmware of BD player. Unfortunately, Toshiba driver page does not only updates the firmware for the BD drive so will not be able to try a firmware update.

  I put t think there is a problem with the playback software (Toshiba Blu - ray disc player) because it seems that you are already using the last available Toshiba Blu - ray Disc version 1.0.5.207 player. If the software is already up-to-date.

  However, the freeware VLC player software/tools are supported BD disks too and play almost all formats and file standards.
  Recommend you test just to see if the problem still occurs even by using such usefulness of these tools.

• I have upgraded to Windows XP Professional and now Windows XP Media Center won't play DVD - component missing.

  Now I have Windows XP Professional after the upgrade to Windows XP Media Center Edition Home 2005. Now my Media Center won't play DVDs and I keep getting the error message "Missing Component". I tried to reinstll cumulative update 2 for Windows XP Media Center 2005 that has worked for me the last time I had this problem, but now I get the Error Message "you must have Windows XP Media Center 2005 installed to get this download and it shows already on my computer as installed components. When I reinstalled it 3 years ago he corrected the problem of DVD. Help, please

  Thank you for your help. Here are the answers your request:

  "Windows XP Media Center version 5.1 Edition - this shows when I"run"- winver - ok.
  Complete error message: "Missing Component - required component Media Center is.
  missing. Please contact the manufacturer of your hardware.
  KB article: WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB900325 - usa .exe
  The windows of origin is always on display as shown above, but I received a free upgrade to Windows XP Professional CD and installed on my computer. And under 'Information system', it shows as - Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3.

  This problem started about 10 days when I used the CD of XP Professional to correct a problem. My computer is a Dell Dimension 5100 and I have two CDs that were sent to me - Dell - Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 3 and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Version 2005 with update Rollup 2.

  Thanks again and I ran the "fix it" you suggested but it have no problem found to fix. Every thing works fine on my system, but Media Center won't play DVD. It will play CDs and videos on my system.

  The initial problem was that I could not download the Blackberry Desktop Software - updates needed. The computer came with Windows XP Media Center Edition Home and I use Internet Explorer 8 as my default browser. I also use Mozilla Firefox as my backup browser.

  Please stick to your thread to avoid confusion of origin: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/i-have-upgraded-to-windows-xp-professional-and-now/f5245962-e9b4-4415-8aff-bc1d972f8120

  Note that I asked you to MOVE your original thread on the forum of material WinXP, not start a new thread.

  Also note that you don't have NO Windows XP Media Center Edition, installed now if you upgraded to Windows XP Professional.

  PS: If "winver" still says Windows XP Media Center Édition, did you not correctly upgraded & something is not. Better contact the Dell Support on this issue (if they'll still talk to you).

• Windows Media Center won't play DVD

  Windows Media Center won't play DVD. This program has played these exact DVD in September. These DVDs can be played on other devices. Error message indicates that there is a problem with the decoder, but don't tell me the code of error message. I searched other forums, but it is impossible to find an answer to this problem, except the recommendation of a codec - although I don't know how I "lost" the codec in the month. Microsoft Security Essentials have installed and up to date, if it is not a virus. Have problems in other programs with the recognition of previously readable files. Not sure if it's related, so I'll post in separate... forums but I'll give you a link if you want to. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello cowgurlup55,

  In addition to the response of Santosh, please relay if the problem occurs when you play a DVD or a single. Please also relay if the same problem occurs when you try to play the DVD with Windows Media Player.

  In addition, if you have an extra DVD decoder installed, then try to update the DVD decoding software.

  Hello Jaime,

  Only the UWA-BR100 wireless LAN adapter is supported for use with the Sony BDP-S370 Blu - ray disc drive to connect to a wireless network. Sony has tested the adapter LAN USB UWA BR100 and it is guaranteed to work with the BD player.

• Adobe will add an application allowing to have us create DVD and Blu - ray videos something similar at 12 Director

  I am very disappointed that Adobe gave us creative video high and dry, with the removal of still and not to find alternatives to replace.  I noticed that there are 12 Director who is appearing on the software authoring software there is a list, so I wonder whether or not that could be added to the creative cloud.  I just started to learn Premiere Pro, but now realized it's a waste of time without an application allows to go with it, as all you can do is to put your final cut on DVD and Blu - ray as a file of data instead of a video disc.  So at least that adobe can offer an application allows I go back to using Cyberlinks PowerDirector 12 Ultimate, which has the most of everything that Premiere pro has more a function of authorising officer who fails to present.   I was not able to find a copy of the cs still 6 as shown in the help pages.

  When I finished my video production I'd like to put it directly on the disc if adobe please give us a software allowing.

• DVD and Blu - ray

  I create DVD and Blu - ray discs for family and friends.  Recently, I read a few articles that give the future DVD discs and Blu - ray sales will give way to the broadcast.  What will happen in the next few years?  My friends and my family is no longer have or use DVD and Blu - ray players?  How will they be able to get the videos I create?

  No one can look into the future. But I wouldn't worry too much.

  If you ask me DVD and BD will still be around for a few years.

• Satellite U840W-10J - noisy fan and the version of the bios

  Hello

  more top of the machine when you run tempro said new version of bios is available, the link to it is [Satellite U840W BIOS 6, 40 - WIN | http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 198 & selProduct = 7570 & selSh ortMod = null & language = 13 & selOS = 40 & selType = 4 & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 84640 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

  But when I go to the bios, it says the version of bios is already 6.4 - which is strange since the release of this version of the bios date is 10/07/13. And I don't know that I don't have day of the bios for this version this month :)

  Why does say new version is available?
  Would be - that there's a newer version available, that only that it binds to an evil?
  Even if I download and try to install it, it says that this version of the rom is the same.

  Second question is noisy fan, most of the time is at very high speed (and because of the odd design, when the laptop is open, screen - which becomes really hot fan).
  Since no other laptop I used make these noises, if I really need to update for the bios? But which version?

  Health Monitor shows the 77% fan speed - and I'm not playing games or whatever it is, cpu is always below 10%, I m doing nothing, just a light browsing can turn up to such percentage. What I've noticed, is that it becomes this top still when HARD drive this is - like application installation, download updates, etc... I have download the latest drivers intel to drive HARD, all drivers are more recent. Or is it only noisy due to bad design (fan blowing on screen), and I can use it for heavy work and just have to ignore the noise of the fan?

  Last updated driver to trackpad kills finger double scroll btw, so, maybe you guys could solve the problem too? Since I had to go back to the old version.

  BTW, the machine is only two days old

  I think that you should not be confused on BIOS. Maybe there is a problem with Tempro. This process runs automatically and it is possible that there is a technical problem. If you have latest BIOS is OK so Don t you worry about this. Just continue to use your laptop and don t change anything.

  What about cooling fan? Cooling fan is controlled automatically and according to the temperature CPU cooling fan works more rapid or slower. When you play the games you need more performance, so use leverage plan high performance. For each day of activities, use the balanced power plan. It will reduce the CPU usage, but it will be good enough for low level activities. What you can try is to change the options for the method of cooling. You can find it in the advanced power options. It should reduce fan cooling and portable activity should run quietly.

  Play around with these options.

  Thank you.

  First of all, I must say that I haven't noticed these issues after the installation of Vista. I installed it on the A100 and everything went correctly
