Media player from Windows
Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional
FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.
If you could play before commercial video DVD...
do a system restore to a time before this started
may be your solution.
Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:
(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)
Info about DVD decoders:
Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins
Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
media players:
VLC Media Player

(works on XP/Vista/7)
Media Player Classic Home Cinema
http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
(works on XP/Vista/7)
Or... you can try to download and install one of the
Following codec packs.
(FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
point before installing any software or updates).
* Proceed at your own risk *.
(1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?
Hi Bill,
To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible. Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba? By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?
As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this. Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true. Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found. They should be able to help you. They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation. I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it. Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Satellite P200 - HD-DVD Player Toshiba can not read HD-DVD
Hello.
I have a problem with my Satellite P200-1: can not read HD DVD. There is a message that says that the video may not be in an external device.
The problem is the same if I try on the screen of the laptop or on the TV (Sony Bravia Full HD) with HDMI. I have the latest driver and software for vista sp1 installed...
Some have an idea?
Sorry to talk so badly...Published by: ADMIN
I think I know what's wrong;
Check this Toshiba TB document;

Satellite A200 - Mat * randomly a UJ-850 s does not read certain DVD or CD
Hello
I have problems with my dvd player Mat * a UJ - 850 s (firmware 1.40)
Randomly, he's not reading certain dvd or cd.
I called Toshiba support and they asked me to update the firmware.
I explained that there are 3 updates of firmware for a player of TSS (NEC) DVD from Toshiba Web site but * NOTHING * for MAST * A
They asked me to install the Toshiba disc reboot before sending to repair. Today I had time to fix it, but it does not read the startup disk!
So I ask for Toshiba to publish an update of firmware for Mat * a UJ - 850 s
What you mean under some CD or DVD?
It is well known that something like this can happen. Because of this if you write here on self made CD/DVD, use empty brackets just high quality.

Satellite A40-231: SD-R6112 will not read the DVDs I burned
I finally got my DVD burner to work, but now the drive will not read the DVDs I burned, which, of course, defies the point of having a dvd burner in the first place... When I insert my dvd recently burned, "working" light lights and stays on. Same thing happens no matter how many times I take it out and put plug back in, restart my computer, etc... any ideas anyone?
Hello
@Magnus:
Sometimes, CDs and burned DVD cannot be read with no closing sessions of engraving. You should check this option.
In addition, this burning program did you use?
I use Nero. Form is the program better combustion and I never had a problem.
What you need to do is to test several DVDs. not all media work on the disc. -

Why are my tool fill and sign not appearing is not on the bar and how do I solve this problem.
Salvation;
What version of Acrobat or Reader are you using? When you open the form are the fields highlighted and "complete" without clicking the 'Fill & Sign' tool to open the bar fill tools & sign?
I suspect that the form that you opened is already ' to fill' so the fill tool & sign just offers you the possibility to sign the PDF and all filling out forms is managed the the Acrobat/Reader native app. In the view below, I opened a 'Acroform' which is a PDF file that has form fields to fill and so the bar fill tools & sign has only 'Sign' button - it's what you see?
'Fill & sign' tools are to fill PDF documents that have no form fields real (they are flat and not fillable) and is able to add text fields, annotations and signatures for the "flat" PDF
Thank you

My laptop is Pressario V2000. My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop reads the same dvd. PL is the solution. Thank you
Try another DVD to verify that your laptop can read at least the other DVD. If he can't play other DVD's then you need to replace the DVD - CD ROM drive supplied with your Pressario.
Another thing you can try is to check fingerprints or scratches on the DVD, some DVD players are more sensitive than others.
