  you're not giving us enough information. When did it stop working? If it worked

  Media Center, and then again. Control Panel, programs and features, tour
  Windows feature turn on or off. Uncheck the two programs, restart. Go back and turn them

• C50-A-137-SU-208BB ODD satellite will not play DVD

  Hello

  My laptop Toshiba C50-A-137 (Windows 7 64-bit) has the following disk drive: * TSSTcorp CDDVDW SU - 208BB SCSI CdRom dur.*

  The problem I have is that he will not play the James Bond 'Skyfall' DVD (Region 2 discs). The disc is played on two other laptops (non-toshiba) and two different DVD players at home. If the disc is not defective!

  I need to insert the disc to download my digital film copy (I have itunes etc on this Toshiba laptop).

  Spins just to drive on a couple of times, but is not recognized as having a content. If I double click on the drive in the windows Explorer I get the message "insert disc" as if there is no disk in the drive.

  * I am hoping it is used a later driver for the disc drive of SU208BB as the current (a more recent available) appears to be - version 6.1.7601.317514 of the year 2006

  This driver is now 7 years! must be a newer driver to help me read this DVD?

  > This driver is now 7 years! must be a newer driver to help me read this DVD?
  First of all: it of not a driver problem. All computers preinstalled with Microsoft Windows system use the internal driver of Microsoft, which controls the optical disk drive. It is necessary for the recognition of optical disk driver but he s not responsible for media playback compatibility.
  > Other discs (CDs and DVDs for the software installs mainly) have all worked well.
  This confirms my idea that you, CD/DVD drive works fine.

  > All later driver or firmware etc available during 2006 for this drive?
  Where these packages would be available, you'd find on the page of the Toshiba UE driver (in Satellite C50 driver download area - A). But I checked the page and this firmware update is not available. This means that there is not.

  What you could do is to check if your CD/DVD drive has region 2
  This can be done in the properties of the CD/DVD drive: right click on the CD Player / DVD-> properties > Hardware tab-> CD Player / DVD-> properties button-> DVD region

  Where his game for region 2, I recommend you to clean the lens using cotton tip and liquid alcohol. Do this carefully and gently. This could help.

  If not I guess it's just a problem of compatibility between disc and player

• External DELL GP60N USB DVDRW drive will not play DVD

  Hello

  I have a new Dell Inspiron 3531 with Windows 8.1.  The laptop came with an internal DVD/CD drive, so I bought a Dell GP60N external USB DVD - RW Drive.

  When I put a DVD in the drive that the laptop recognizes it is there, but will not play regardless of how I set the automatic run settings.

  I also searched drivers see if mine was outdated, but not found to contribute to the situation.

  Any help from the community will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Default Windows can not decode DVD video, so you will need some reading software...

  Usually, when you buy a DVD player/burner, you get with it, WinDVD or PowerDVD software for video playback and some other software if the device may also burn discs... UNLESS the material was an OEM version, which normally does not come in a box like the commercial version, then you normally get nothing...

  So for now the easiest thing is to connect the drive to the laptop and then insert a DVD into the drive. Go to the Explorer, and then right-click the DVD by selecting drive open. You should now see two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. This indicates that Windows sees DVD disc material correctly and that he also sees the files in the DVD itself... Nothing wrong up to now...

  Now, go into the VIDEO_TS directory where you should see a bunch of files, a bunch of. BUP. IFO and. VOB files. The. VOB files contain the video code CSS while the. IFO files contain orders for DVD to play appropriate video channel (flow). Normally, the. IFO and. VOB files will have an affair with some reading software and double click on the VIDEO_TS. VOB file will launch the player. If the player is associated. Can manage files IFO CSS encoded DVD, playback will begin and you will hear the sound and see some video... If you have a drive associated with these types of files, usually autoplay will kick and the reading starts automatically on insertion of the DVD in your drive... But if you double-click and there is no software associated with this file extension, so there is no software associated with these files and you can't watch your DVD...

  But as mentioned, Windows does not capable by default DVD playback software, so you will need to install a DVD playback software... One solution is to contact the company (Dell?) who provided the external DVD player and ask them why you do not have the comercial DVD reading and DVD software of engraving that you expected would come with your hardware, they can predict it you if she should have come in your package, or they will tell you where you can download it from...

  If they won't help or they say it was hardware OEM and that it did not come with software, then consider using VLC to play your videos, as the software is free open source of quality. This page explains how to use VLC to play DVDs in Windows 8... You can also use ImgBurn for burning CDs and DVDs (not blindly just click on the buttons of large download on this web site because they are advertisements for * you need not, simply the page to the section of news where you have a download link)...

• music on mp3 player will not play on a cd player

  Over the months, I downloaded music will play on laptop and car cd player, but will not play on a cd device at home.

  What wav is the correct word I use songs then play on any device, and I can mp3 player changed songs so I don't have to download the songs again, as there are a lot of songs that play on their, portable cd player and car, but not on any other device CD.

  Hello

   
  Most of the CD players support AAC, WAV file formats. However, I can't guarantee that your CD player will support these file formats. Consult the User Guide for the CD or Web site so that it supports the file formats.
  
  Or let us know the make a model of your CD player, I'll try to get the details for you.
   
  I hope this helps!

• Computer will not play DVD burned with DVD player

  Hello

  I burned some files on a DVD-R using my MacBook Air disc. I did by deleting files on the icon in the Finder and burned it there.

  If I put the DVD in my DVD player, videos play fine.

  If I insert it into a computer, the drive DVD does not open but opens the DVD just like a USB stick or something. So I can open individual files, but not to read them using a DVD player.

  What can I do?

  You need to ask the Apple community on how to get the DVD you burned with their software to play in Windows.

  See you soon.
