the DVD player on my laptop HP Entertainment PC has stopped working?

My dvd player does not work.

I have a laptop HP Entertainment PC, running Vista.

My computer knowledge is limited, but so far I have: -.

1. the updated drivers.
2 uninstalled & reinstalled the drivers.
3. asking someone to look at it to me who said that "it seemed ok in the BIOS then it must be the drive itself!
4 bought & have a refurbished drive.
5. who took me to the steps 1 & 2 above.

I noticed that in Device Manager, a place called: -.

Location 0 (Channel 0, Target 0, Lun 0)

Don't know if this has an impact any fault but thought I would mention it!

I also was told that by someone who had this problem on a HP, it could be a registry error.

Thank you very much

Russ

    Hi PaulMazor,

    Well first of all, btwapi.dll is a process no system developed by Bluetooth. If you go on your computer, try to disable Bluetooth by going to network and Internet or however your wireless interface is configured on your computer. If you don't have Bluetooth on your computer, try to uninstall it. go to start > Control Panel > programs > uninstall programs > scroll down and uninstall. My last suggesting opens upward, the Windows Task Manager (press ctrl + alt + delete and release). Go to processes and disable the application there. Other that that, I can't help you any further.
    Good luck
