• Satellite P200-1EE - update of HD-DVD Player question

  Hard drive crashed a few days ago.
  Re-installed everything using the recovery disk.
  More than 200 updates to vista.

  TEMPRO installed after all updates for Vista.
  The problem is the update of the HD DVD of 2007 = callelua.asp? ID = 60624.
  Returned as an error page.

  No clue on what to do next, as the drive will work normal DVD using VLC Player.
  Consider that Toshiba are not now support HD-DVD on this machine?

  You need this player or not?
  I mean that if you use DVD movies only, you can remove the drive from the system.

  I think VLC player is good software and you can use it to watch movies.

• DVD player does not work after upgrade to Windows 8.1.

  Original title: you stole my DVD player?

  MS,

  I bought a HP with Windows 8.0 a couple of years.  At this time, Windows Media Player played drive E: movies very well.  Apparently, the 'free' Windows 8.1 'upgrade' deleted the DVD player.  None of the DVD players free on the App store will play a movie from the drive.  Worse, some of them want a 5 stars before you try to play a disc, then don't play not the DVD at all AND want money for features like an equalizer, this or cela.  Misleading and contemptible, on their role and yours, but I'm sure, not illegal.  I buy a Chevvy, 6 months later in the middle of the night the dealer removes my air conditioner and then offers to sell me an air conditioner.

  Please give back me the DVD drive you removed.  (I don't hold my breath however).

  Sincere greetings.

• IM using windows XP my DVD player on my computer will not play until I do

  I use Windows XP and my DVD player in my computer does not read it. I try to operate in driver D and I also used E driver

  You try to play a DVD?

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

  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:

  (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

• DVD player broke, how can install windows 7

  I had to update my hard drive on my lap top and re - install Windows 7, but the DVD player is broken and won't install disk, are there other options I could try? As a download on a USB and then install from there - (I have the product key).

  Although you could certainly make a bootable USB flash drive if you have the correct DVD, you might as well buy a new DVD drive now... you'll probably want something else in the future.

  These are usually very easy to replace, and you can get a DVD player for most of the laptops for less than $30--> http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007589&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=True&SrchInDesc=laptop&PageSize=30&Page=1

• Update of the software DVD player for Satellite X 200

  I am a novice pc user and this is my first post - I received an email with a software update for the DVD player.

  The e-mail indicates the installation instructions are in the zip file but I can't find it there or elsewhere - I tried to use the facility to update Vista driver through the Device Manager and pointing to the file where I extracted the zip file, but it says that my drivers are up to date. I also clicked on the extracted Setup file but I get an error message saying: it will not work on my computer.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  First a question:
  Why do you want to update anything? You have problems with your laptop?
  If this isn't the case, so I see no reason to make the point.

  On the other hand; What DVD playback software do you mean exactly? Usually you can not install the utility via the Device Manager, but ONLY the device drivers!
  So for me you have mixed something!

  Follow these steps to reinstall the Beats Audio interface.

  Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

  When you are done, reboot the laptop and let Windows load completely.  Open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

• DVD Player & touch screen does not work after last update DX1210 to Windows 8

  Hello
  I know. I should have checked the upgrade information before doing so, but I have upgraded to Windows 8 about 3 months ago and my DVD player and touchscreen no longer work. I don't know what else does not work.

  I searched drivers but can't seem to find a.

  Can someone point me to the right direction?

  Or do I restore to original settings - Windows 7?

  Which brings me to my second question. How to restore? I did not have a backup, but I left all my data on a hard drive.

  I can't find any help on any of these challenges.

  Thanks in advance.

  To be honest that I n t have this unit and don t have experience with it but I ve checked Toshiba to THE support page and of course, this model is not supported for Win8. What you need are utilities and tools specific to Toshiba.

  In my opinion, if the device is not fully supported you should go back to original Win7 and supported.
  I put t know why you didn t follow the Toshiba s advice on the creation of recovery media. From my experience, that the recorded data are unnecessary, and you will not be able to start the recovery image installation.

  What you need now is the recovery disk. Visit the Toshiba page if there is possibility to order a new. Otherwise contact the closest service Toshiba and ask if they can help you with this.

• Satellite Pro L40 - 17F: everything by playing the DVD player window flickers

  I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 - 17F with all the updates of Windows Vista (Home) applied. This includes those optional (for example driver updates)

  I came to be used for the first time (outside the application of windows update) and play a movie. The player (not the controls, just the player) window flashing continuously, even on the menu screens. It almost seems that the film was shot with an old film camera and is played on a projector.

  I have not really looked at it properly yet, but I wonder if this is a common problem...

  Someone at - he had the same thing? What about a solution?

• Satellite A500 - video/dvd player is not compatible with Windows 10

  After having recently updated of my laptop for windows 10 I discovered that the dvd player does not work. A message is displayed informing that the player is not compatible with this version of windows. A scan using Norton suggests dvd will not work because it needs to be configured.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Obviously, Toshiba DVD playback application that is preinstalled on this Satellite A500 model is not compatible with the system Windows 10.

  In this case this software will not properly work after the upgrade to win 10 and I guess you have to remove the system Win 10.

  Unfortunately, the Satellite A500 is not listed as Win 10 portable computers and so I don't think you will get an update to this software for DVD playback.

  Here is a list of models supported for upgrading to Windows 10
