Step 1: Uninstall and reinstall the DVD player.

Also update the drivers for the DVD player.

    Hi Paul

    Your message is very short and you don t provide all the details, but I will try to provide the answer to a problem.
    First of all, this looks like a hardware problem. I mean the lens of the drive cannot calibrate in the right position and would have problems.
    In this case the player would not be able to manage different CDs or DVDs.

    But first, you should try this
    Access to the registry and try to remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    After this withdrawal, restart the computer.

    I read that this accelerated procedure to solve the different CD/DVD drive problem.

    But if you will not be successful then a hardware problem is possible and only a replacement of drives could help.

  • 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.

  • Satellite M40-145: CD/DVD player will not play some DVD

    Hello!

    I am the owner of a Satellite M40-145 bought a little over a year; DVD driver worked perfectly until three days ago, but today I discovered something... strange. Still, it reads the DVD business and burned the DVD + r, but apparently it does not read the DVD - r serious more. I tried with different DVD - Rs, I burned the same DVD player, without success; trying to access the DVD gives a message "insert the disk in drive D:".

    In this case, I'm talking about movies on DVD. Please tell me there is a way to fix this without sending the computer to the customer service...
    I wouldn't think he fell down a few days after the expiry date of the guarantee.

    Hello

    Well, you can try to remove the Device Manager order form.
    After restarting again the reader should be recognized again. Then, check if it is possible to read the DVD - R, CD.

    But the question sounds like a lens calibration error. If you use different media, the lens must be calibrated again. But if this procedure fails, the drive is not able to read or write the DVD for example.
    Unfortunately, in this case only the replacement of the drive will resolve this problem.

    If you use HP MediaSmart DVD to read Blu - ray disc, try the following.

    HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution.  Download the latest installer for it on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

    Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, open your downloads folder and double-click Setup for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once this done, see if your Blu - ray disc now plays OK.

    When it wants to either marine a dvd or just simply install a program (sims2) on a DVD and the disc is ejected just windows tells me to insert a DVD.

    with movies I get around by forcing it to be opened by other programs, but to install the SIMS2, I'm just stuck. What should do?

  • 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/
