• I get a saying of popup, that I need to install software to make sure that my browser is the latest version, but I already have firefox 28.0 and I am bit suspicious.

  I just started having this extra window that says: "RECOMMENDED updates! It is recommended to install the software to make sure that your browser is the latest version. Please update to continue. "The link says: Rvzr - a.akamaihd.NET. I'm a little reluctant to touch anything because it never happened. In addition, I've doubled checked and my firefox is 28.0 isn't up-to-date. I even re-downloaded firefox to ensure, and I always get the pop-up window.

  You're smart to be wary. You can check to see if an unnoticed add-on slipped? In particular, I suggest disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

  • Command + shift + a
  • Tools menu > Modules

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

  Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  That get rid of the nagging dialog boxes?

• I have an external optical drive, but it does allow me to play my DVD because I need to download a decoder. Where can I get the free download decoder so I can playback on player Win medial?

  Yes, I own the optical drive SDRW and manages my music tasks perfectly.  But it does not play DVD because I do not have a decoder installed.

  It will only allow me to windows Media Player and that where it ends.  I have a HP Mini as a portable laptop, I had to purchase an external optical drive.  I am a satisfied customer and would like to get a decoder free download because I use many Windows applications.

  Thank you

• When I play a DVD on Windows Media Player I get almost no noise through the external speaker on my laptop

  Original title: no volume when playing DVDs

  When I play a DVD on Windows media player I get almost no sound through the external speaker on my laptop. I get some, but it is too weak to really enjoy the movie. If I use headphones I can hear the DVD very well, and I can hear the clips DVD sample provided with my computer on my speakers and headphones. If the computer can generate the volume correctly, but something goes wrong, whenever I try to play a DVD that is not on my hard drive. I tried every button volume already. Thank you

  Hi amorchien,

  2 have you tried to play the DVD in another computer?

  Step 1:

  In Windows Media Player.

  a. click on tools and select Options

  b. click on devices and click on DVD, then select Properties.

  c. make sure that Rip and playback are in digital mode.

  Step 2:

  This problem can be caused by incompatible codecs. I suggest that remove you / uninstall all installed third-party codec packs, players or video record programs.

• I can't play DVDs in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 Pro and get this error msg: Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection.

  Hello, thanks for reading and helping me.

  I try to play a legitimate, belonging to DVD, but Windows Media Player 12 will not play on my computer Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD worked a few days ago, but all of a sudden, I get the following error message:

  "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

  I did a lot of research of these forums and on the ' net.  Here are the suggested steps I tried without success:

  • I tried VLC player.  This works.  However, rather than use this workaround, I wish to find a solution to my problem WMP/WMC.
  • I tried several DVD for years over the last decade.  These DVD works on my laptop, also running Windows 7 Professional and the shark 007 codec.
  • I uninstalled my Shark 007 codec
  • I tried other codecs (K-Lite)
  • I assured that the latest drivers are installed on my video card, XFX ATI Radeon 5850
  • I tried to uninstall Nero 9
  • I tried to use the Windows 7 troubleshooting options:
  • > Reading and burning CD, DVD and Blu - ray (no problem)
  • > Windows Media Player DVD (no problem)
  • > Windows Media Player Settings (detects a problem, wants to restore factory settings, every time, no matter what happens)
  • A system restore to a time when the DVD was working did not resolve the issue
  • The different links in Microsoft, I found in this forum about this problem do not seem to be useful.  There is a link that points to the set-top boxes, but this page just says: "Windows 7 comes with a decoder.
  • I assured the latest driver is available by going to "Device Manager", right click on the drive, then click on "update driver software".
  • I assured that the latest firmware is installed directly from the manufacturer's website.
  • I tried to reset my DRM by renaming the DRM under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows folder and by going to this Web site to upgrade:http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp?force=1
  • I've uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Media Player 12 and Windows Media Center via the function "functionality in Windows.

  I would be very grateful if a Microsoft technology could chime.  Thanks for your help!
