  • Who is the player you are trying to play the video?
  • What operating system do you use?
  • What happens when you play the files? You receive an error code?
  • You are able to play the file formats?

Here is the file format of the music files are supported by Windows media player using the link below.

  • Unable to play any video after update

    I use an imac 24 "mid-2007. I upgraded 10.11.4 el Capitan and now I'm not able to see all the videos. IMovie comes with a white screen when I try to life capture files. VLC will not play videos; Also I am not able to preview the videos in the finder. Help!

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

    Maybe you need a DVD decoder:

  • Unable to play any disc optical drawer

    Hello.

    I just bought a HP Pavilion laptop, it runs on Windows 8.1, but I am unable to play any form of disk in the optical tray.

    They whizz autour, but I get nothing on the screen, so can not read the dvd / cd or even insert a disc for my printer.

    I went Device Manager and selected the cd/dvd, and have to say an error message "Windows cannot start this hardware driver because his information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged (code 19)."

    Can you help me please?

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in Flash Player settings. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).

    To turn off hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

    1. Go to the Adobe Flash Player help page.
    2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on this page.
    3. Click settings on the shortcut menu. The Adobe Flash Player settings screen opens.
    4. Click the icon in the lower left of the Adobe Flash Player settings window to open the display panel.

    5. Remove the enable hardware accelerationcheck box.
    6. Click close to close the Adobe Flash Player settings window.
    7. Restart Firefox.

    This Flash Player help - display settings page contains more information about the Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you are interested.

    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • Unable to play DVDs on my Toshiba laptop

    I can't play DVDs on my Toshiba laptop.

    Tried a few internet solutions. Have also made approximtale six weeks ago and next to the factory. Have installed all Windows updates. Unable to read the DVD. Incidentally can still play CDs.

    Any idea what is the problem and a solution please.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Can you please tell us what operating system you are using and what model of laptop.

    In any case, if your optical disc drive can read CD but not DVD, it is possible that the driver is defective or the lens is dirty.
    The first time, please clean the lens.

    If this will not help it is possible that ODD has problem with the calibration of the lens.
