  Hello mandyrose,

  Have you tried to uninstall the dvd via the Device Manager drive then restart PC to let Windows reinstall? You can do it. If the problem is still there, can give a try? It is a quick easy fix from Microsoft, here is the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060. You need to uninstall all third-party software (example: Roxio, Nero, or iTunes) from your computer before you make this correction. After you restart, you can reinstall your software and try again to see if that solves your problem. Otherwise, it could be a bad optical drive. Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

• Windows media player does not work as no driver DVD

  Had to format drive (trojan) & reinstall Windows XP home. Now Windows media player does not work as no DVD driver download from Toshiba site?

  Hello

  Usually the Windows media Player is not able to read DVD movies IF no plugins were installed.
  To watch DVDs, you can use programs such as WinDVD or PowerDVD.
  These programs are designed for the DVD play!

  But you can also visit the Microsoft Web site and search plug-ins for Windows Media player.
  Then you can download and install to play a DVD with WMP

  Best regards

  I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  My easy key of Windows media player does not work and I have installed the package of value added. I don't know what's wrong all the other buttons seem to work well.

  Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.

  Hello, Simone

  I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.

  You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

  Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.

  In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.

  It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.

  Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.

  In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.

  If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.

  If so, the location must be registered.

  Let us know.
