  Hi Kendra,

  Please contact Microsoft Community.

  To better help you, could you please confirm a number of things like:

  2. Do you receive an error message or error code?

• Unable to play DVDs on an Equium A100

  Hello

  My laptop will play some DVDs but does not play the other DVD. I get the following message appears when you try to play certain DVD: "Media Center cannot detect a video DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive."

  DVDs that can not be read seem to be more recent films, for example the Lord of the rings or Bourne Ultimatum rather than DVD of the films made in the 80s or 90s.

  I would be grateful for any help that could solve this frustrating situation.

  Thank you

  Looks like it s not hardware but software more related question.
  As far as I know the CD/DVD drives don't support all types of CD and DVD.

  Maybe a few DVD movies are burnt on the media which are not entirely compatible with the internal CD/DVD drive

• WMP/WMC is unable to play DVD audio

  I had a problem for a lot of time with Windows Media Player/Windows Media Center PERSON DO seems able to diagnose or difficult. WMP all my audio files, CDs and the sound system plays very well. However, whenever I try to play a DVD, the video game played very well but there is no audio data. Then, I lose all the sounds until I restart. I downloaded a freeware program that allows me to see the video and hear the sound of DVDs very well as well as the material works very well. The problem is with WMP/WMC.  I tried to reload/upgrade to update WMP, but that did not work. I can be lack of Codecs, but I have no idea of who or how to download the forms.  The problem is probably with WMP/WMC, but no support, my manufacturer of computers or Microsoft seems to be able to solve the problem. I think I'll use VLC Media Player as my default DVD player.  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You need Codec - get these if 32 bit Vista.

  CCCP - free - also get free of insurgents tool
  http://CCCP-project.NET/

  FFDSHOW - free
  http://sourceforge.NET/projects/ffdshow/

  Check here:

  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

  ---------------------------------------

  VLC needs, of no use so usually Codec as a backup when asked to support associations of files just say no.

  VLC - free
  http://www.videolan.org/VLC/

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  If 64 bits and you need codec.

  Read this 1st and go that route, or use the one below.

  http://www.Vistax64.com/sound-audio/152850-Vista-codec-pack-32bit-64bit-Media-Player-codecs.html

  --------------------------------------------------------------------

  If 64-bit Vista - can run WMP in 32 or 64 bit mode.

  Or try these: download - SAVE - go to the place where your put them RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN.

  For 32-bit use them - OR those listed above that I prefer.
  
  K - Lite Codec Pack 5.0.5 & K-Lite Codec Pack 5.0.5 update
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  Use them for 64-bit:

  K - Lite Codec Pack (64-bit) 2.6.0
  http://www.codecguide.com/

  -------------------------------------------------------------
  You know that you use WMP 32 or 64

  -------------------------------------------------------------

  And you can use it when necessary because no codex is usually required.

• Unable to play video, lack the codec indeo 5

  Indeo 5 removed from XP/Windows.

  I'm trying to play videos of when my child was a baby. A few precious memories - although taken with a Webcam.

  I am running Windows XP SP 3. Research on the forum here, it seems that the codec has been removed from windows. And unless I pay a company in 20 US dollars more or less, I won't get to see these videos. Sounds like inmate hostage if you ask me!
  They do not seem to exist in a different media player - just what I'm looking for crashes at halfway through (DivX, Real, Nokia, Apple, Windows Media).
  The company who make the codec throw fault purely at the feet of microsoft. (If this is the case, why pay for the download for the older Indeo 5?).
  Any who Microsoft have access to this codec internally and brave enough to post it for download?
  If not - does anyone know a media player (or converter) that contains it and is honest enough to install?
  Ta

  You may need to install the DirectX Runtime June 2010, which is an optional update that needs a lot of games.

  Even my Lexmark printer requires... I'll include a link to the full installer...

  This is a package to free extraction. It will extract after double-clicking it so be sure to note the location where extracted you\it.

  Open the folder, and then double-click DXSETUP.

  You've already tried this with the web installer, but it is the entire file... It might work better.

  From what I can find, the atiuxpag.dll is related to the passage of the integrated Graph chart in a laptop depends on whether the battery or AC current is used.

  It doesn't seem to be dependent on DirectX 10 in some way. This link is mainly stuff DX9 and DX10, so it might be useful.

  I looked online and the reason is that my graphics driver is not up-to-date, however, because use custom drivers Toshiba I can't go to the website of intel and get the newest, I know that my only current is obsolete, but there are no new drivers on the Toshiba site. Help, please!

  Hi OzzyAmir,

  Can you post what model of laptop, you have, please?

  Usually not speaking, there s no problem to install other display drivers, but it happens on your own risk because the drivers are not pre-tested by Toshiba.

  Intel drivers, you can install through the Device Manager > update drivers if you click on the graphics card. Then, choose the Advanced installation and choose the directory of the driver.
