  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.

  Please contact Microsoft Community.

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

• Cannot play DVDs on my Equium A200

  When I try to play a DVD on Equium A200, it plays on windows media player. I have sound but visual is blurred.

  You need to install codecs. The best solution is to install the package such as K-lite codec.
  But there is another solution: you can use another player to watch movies on DVD or movies to avi, mpeg or wmv format. Use VLC Player. VLC player is also useful if you want to use subtitles in the txt file. Simply place a txt file with the same name in the movie file in the same folder. If you

• 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.

  VideoLAN - VLC media player

  I hope this helps.

• Equium A100-147: can not play games becauce slow DVD player

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium A100-147. I tried many games on my laptop which should conform to the specifications required for example battlefield 2, however, these games does not work and I didn't know why. I then realized that all the games I tried were all on 4 DVD-ROM drive demanding x, and the specifications I provided with my laptop did not specify what kind of DVD player, I had another super multi layer or something.

  It is while I tried the games that were demanding CD-ROM which all worked fine, I then tried a game that was 2 x DVD ROM demanding that worked apart from a small problem with models of characters not displayed, so I took back defective. Then I tried a 1 x DVD-ROM game that worked perfectly.

  Today, I decided to get my DVD specifications, where I found that my laptop should read 8 x DVD - ROM drives.
  So my question is, is my defective DVD player for not playing more than 1 x DVD - ROM games? And can I contact Toshiba or my provider for repair or replacement or my problem would be something else?

  Thank you, Josh

  Hello

  As far as I know the laptop was delivered with the drive UJ - 841S and the drive supports 8 x DVD-ROM.
  Of course, there must be something wrong if the drive cannot read DVD-ROM media at full speed. The middle is not supported or the drive malfunctions

  What you can do is search for the update of the firmware. Many laptops come with the same drive. See the categories of driver and, possibly, there is a new update of the firmware.

  You can also try to remove the physical drive from the laptop and reboot the device without the drive. Then turn off the appliance, install the drive again and the boot upward.
  The laptop must initialize the firmware again and maybe this will help

  But it seems you notebook is not very old and the warranty is valid. If you need to contact the ASP in your country for more details and possibly for disc replacement

• Equium A100-549: DVD & CD playback is slow and jerky

  Hello!
  DVD and CD playback is jerky and slow (sound and image). This problem occurred out of the blue! One day was playing very well and the next, when we tried to play a DVD is a different problem. I put the other DVD that plays very well the night before, but without success - it wasn't the DVD in particular. I tried the audio CD I played before and to my disappointment the same problem. I ripped a CD on my laptop and it played very well - it is not the sound card. I used a lens cleaner, but it did not work.

  I run Toshiba Diagnostics, no problem. I even scanned the HD and defrag, nothing - so I doubt there is a problem with Windows. Problem with two media players, windows one and the Nero one - is not due to lack of players. I drop the phone or hit him or spilled something on it. And this problem really happened from one day to the other. I had all the windows and driver updates two weeks before the problem occurred, by paying in the meantime several DVDs and a few CDs with no problems. What should I do?

  Fortunately, the laptop is still under warranty, but I would prefer if there is a way to fix at home, because services of take time...

  Hello

  I hope that your device to factory settings and not your own installation of the OS. You didn't write what CDs and DVDs you use, but I hope that use you the original one.

  Before you play DVD movie try at first to end all unnecessary process and stop the antivirus application if you have one. RedHawk is just, but I'm sure that DMA setting is standard by factory settings.

• Equium A100 - unable to boot from the bootable disc

  Equium A100-549

  My son s partner has a 2 year old Toshiba which has become slow over time. I had done a backup of the system with office installed etc using Acronis. Anyway, decided to rid running Acronis and recorded image. The program runs normally, and he falls down to a denial of service as the ready to restore screen. It is then with the cursor flashing as usual and then it crashes, and doesn't allow you to access the image.

  I am that it can be altered, so reinstalled Acronis. Make an Acronis boot disk to run the image, and he does not take into account the disk boots directly to the normal hard drive (IDE 0) still no joy. Then I tried the restore of laptops disc. In the BIOS, I said peripheral CD as everything first and also the restore disc says place in the drive and turn off.

  While it starts up press F12, which brings a menu allowing you to boot from the CD drive. I did, but it doesn t appear to look at the CD and just load windows from the HARD drive. I removed the CD for system devices and rebooted. He found and added the new device to herself and asked to reset. Still no joy!

  Scanned with Norton, but still not good. Norton removal. The result is the same. Able to read the CD and also write to it as well. Diagnosis Toshibas ran on the unit and everything seems ok with it.

  Tried to make a bootable flash stick on floppy, but it is ignored, well specified the amorçage using other devices.
  Basically, it seems that I can t get it to watch prior CD onto the HARD drive.

  Flashing the BIOS would heal it? -Registry error causes this?

  Y at - it everywhere where I can talk to someone from Toshiba about this?

  Any info / help much appreciated

  Hello Nick

  Put the delivered device DVD recovery DVD and turn on the laptop. Press the C button and keep it pressed for a few seconds. This will force the DVD player to read the DVD, and I hope that you will be able to use the DVD of recovery for the installation of the OS.

  If possible, test it with some other bootable CD installations. Please post the results.
