Trouble reading DVD Vista

• After downgrading from Vista Satellite L30-101 does not read DVD

  Hey,.

  Like many people, I didn't like Vista and so returned to the use of Windows XP.

  In doing so, I lost a lot of things like the ability to watch DVDs and sound, most of these problems fixed so easily by downloading the drivers from this site.

  However, even after the DVD driver download I can't read DVDs yet.
  When you try to play through Windows media player I get say error message that I did not have a MPEG-2 decoder, in the section web site help, it suggests where to get one, but you have to play for each other.
  After having one in the first place, I don't think I should buy a new one.

  If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appretiated if they could let me know.

  Thank you

  PS I have a Satellite L30-101

  I think you have a codec problem, but I'm not sure. Maybe you should install the latest version of Media Player and codec Xvid, DivX and AC3. These are free (google it!). Or you can try alternative software, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD, you can try the demo versions.

• Professional vista upgrade to windows 7 premium.now I can't read DVD or install programs with disks, etc.

  I upgraded from vista business to windows 7 premium. Now I can not read DVD or install programs with disks, etc.

  If your dvd player is as it does not exist and is one of those listed below you may need a firmware update. If this isn't one of those listed so my answer does not apply to your situation.

  If your dvd player is one of the following values, see kb975270

• Satellite P100-10U preinstalled Vista cannot read DVD - event code 11

  After the work with my new Toshiba P100-10U system could not read DVD more, it is still able to read CD-Roms! In Device Manager, an exclamation point grey is visible.

  The event log indicates repeatedly "Treiber Der hat einen Controllerfehler auf \Device\CdRom0 found.", something like "the pilot detected error on \Device\CdRom0 controller."

  I installed the system again, but the wrong behavior is still there.
  The system has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s drive.

  I already checked the registry entry {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. There's no UpperFilter or UpperFilter attributes.

  Any idea?

  Thank for Kalle

  Hello

  I m really surprised because such error problem should be resolved after the installation of the new operating system.
  More as you already suggested the filter upstream and downstream in the registry key are mainly responsible for these strange drive problems.

  In any case, I recommend to remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the CD/DVD drive again. You should see a message as new device has been installed or something like that

  In addition, it would be desirable to use a system like CCleaner repair program. It s freeware!

  Finally, you should check the registry again if the upper and lower filter exists and delete it.
  Don t forget to reboot the device.

  Good luck

• Home Edition Vista won't read DVD

  my system will not read DVDs, why? I am not computer savy and I can't understand this at all. Help, please?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

  Can you clarify your question - if the DVD is not read by your PC (not detect the DVD) or just the video does not play?

  If the DVD-video is not played, you need to install a codec appropriate to play DVDs, no codec is available in your system to read the DVD. You can use PowerDVD, WinDVD, or any other software that you like. Once you install them, will also be installed the codec and so you can watch DVDs using Windows Media Player or Media Center.

  If this is not the case of many to answer.

• Re: My driver TEAC DV-w28ECT used to read DVD and CD now it reads only DVDs

  My TEAC DV-w28ECT driver used to read DVDs and CDs, now, he reads only DVDs. What's happened and how can I solve this problem? I have Windows Vista

  Try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry.
  When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.

  (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
  2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
  (4) restart.

  If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

  This utility can remove the filters for you:

• Satellite A100 PSAA9A - can read DVD BUT not CD with Windows XP

  I use a satellite A100 PSAA9A computer laptop and I started having trouble with the CD/DVD drive. It was working fine until yesterday when he decided not read no matter what CD I get the message asking me to insert a disc, when there is a CD in the drive. It still reads DVD good.
  I don't know if he has anything to do with the download of the updates of Windows XP because the troubl seems to start after I did.
  Is there somewhere in the creation for the player who controls this? Also when I run the troubleshooting test it always ignores the test of this drive.
  I'd appreciate any help.
  See you soon

  Optical drives, DVDS, has some different faces to work with CD and DVD, but objective and optics are the same. He had arrived, when in one two heads become a dust or something else. I thing that you must visit the Service and your disk cleanup. But do not use a cleaning disc!
  PS. Windows updates, as and OS, are not issues.
  Make sure it's easy - attempt to start bootCD (not BootDVD) with anyone by pressing F12 at startup. If the running machine - it's Windows, if not - DVD player.
  See you soon

• Basic system back up DVD Vista

  I want my system to vista basic, i.e. the disk hard operating system and files associated backup on a DVD. When I use the control panel configuration, then Im Centre of backup and restore receives a unique option. That option is "backup files '. '"  This should read "System backup" if Im correct.  I need to download software? I thought that the system came with a backup feature.  I failed to do it the first day.  I have no original back upward.  I have a D: drive but do not understand how to restore from it.  I restore the DVD supplied with the PC, but the updates I needed when the restoration was complete once took several hours.  Im trying to avoid this process long if I should have any problems with the drive again.  The problem I had seemed to be a rootkit, the system become slow, I used defrag and clean up the C: drive but the slow system and hang ups continued.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  The foregoing may not be a credible source, but I had the feeling that this was the case, so I googled TSSTcorp CDRWDVD TS - H493B SCSI cdROM DVICE... and came up with it.

  I will try to check this further, but I think I need to buy a DVD player that burns.

  ==========================================
  You are exactly right...

  The drive you have will read and write to the CD and will only read DVD.

  See the following links:

  Introduction: TSST TS-H493B CDRW/DVD-ROM drive user's Guide

  Specifications: The User Guide for the reader of CD-RW/DVD-ROM TSST TS-H493B

  If he would have to burn a DVD it looks like DVD - RW. instead of DVD - ROM

  I wish I had noticed that earlier but missed.

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

• Qosmio E10: The drive only reads DVD-R double layer / DVD + R

  Hey all,.
  I was wondering if someone could forward that request to the person responsible slimdrive firwmares to Toshiba.
  He finds that the carpet * a UJ-830 s drive not reading DUAL LAYER DVD-R / DVD + R (although it reads DVD-ROM OK DVD9).
  This disc, Mat * a UJ - 830 s equips the Qosmio E10.
  I have searched everywhere for a firmware update without success, so Toshiba are my only remaining chance.

  There is an update of the firwmare in of the Qosmio E10 driver section but that's UJ - 831S (and it does not work on UJ-830 s) :/
  Thanks for reading.

  Hello

  AFAIK this unit has a DVD Super Multi drive and it must use media suite:
  CD-ROM (Read) CD - R(read/write) CD - RW(read/write) DVD-ROM (read)
  DVD-R(Read/Write) DVD - RW(read/write) DVD + DVD + R(read/write) RW(read/write) DVD - RAM(read/write)

  In addition, these speeds are available:
  Maximum speed CD-ROM(24x:read) CD-R(24x:write) CD-RW(10x:write) DVD-ROM(8x:read)
  DVD-R(8x:Write) DVD - RW(4x:write) DVD + DVD + R(8x:write) RW(4x:write) DVD - RAM(3x:write)

  Maybe this drive can t use the double layer? I think he uses a normal DVD

• P25-S5093 cannot read DVD + RW

  P25-S5093, ODD-DVD-SD-R6372 reader can't see DVD + RW, DVD - RW Drive reads and writes without problem in that there may be a business? OS - Windows XP Pro SP2.

  Hello Alex

  I have Satellite P20-303 and the DVD player is not able to read DVD + R/RW format. You have obviously portable US but I think the drive is the same.

  Please check s operating manuals and what formats are readable. As I already said that I think that your player can play just DVD R/RW.

  Good bye

• Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)

  my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

  Hello

  I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
  In this case, you need additional codecs.
  This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
  Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

  Good luck
