  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.

  Please contact Microsoft Community.

• My recently downloaded Windows Media Player 11 play dvd, audio cd and cd rom, but will not recognize two photos of the dvd which have been able to acknowledge by Media Player 10 and record of the Explorer Windows-with some difficulty

  1. Windows Media Player 10 has opened a photo successfully dvd but a message "Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close" came on the screen several times.  Had to re insert the dvd picture, but it would open again each time.
  2. Tried the cd drivers and troubleshooting dvd and was informed of my dvd could not be played because there was no decoder for dvd.  Following instructions and chose a windows xp approved decoder pack download - dvd has chosen the Roxio CinePlayer DVD Decoder Pack.
  3. Then upgraded the media player to Windows Media Player 11.
  4. After that, dvd and cd rom could be opened by the media player 11, but neither the DVD or cd ROM readers would recognize the photo DVD in question had been inserted into one of these discs, and even less to be opened by the media player.
  5. Program scanner and photo used to transfer my photos printed digitally on a dvd are trademarks of Hewlett-Packard.  Contact the center of the photo, but they could not provide me with any guidance or even particular HP photo program they used to create the dvd picture.  I remember the photos were stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11.

  "" I remember well, the pictures are stored on the dvd in JPEG format picture and was able to open by Windows Explorer before I've updated since WMP 10-11 ""

  Looks like you have a data dvd, which has just the pictures on it and it will not be seen by WMP, who needs a dvd-video disc.

  It should always open in windows Explorer and you should be able to see your pictues it.

• Unable to play DVDs on an Equium A100

  Hello

  My laptop will play some DVDs but does not play the other DVD. I get the following message appears when you try to play certain DVD: "Media Center cannot detect a video DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive."

  DVDs that can not be read seem to be more recent films, for example the Lord of the rings or Bourne Ultimatum rather than DVD of the films made in the 80s or 90s.

  I would be grateful for any help that could solve this frustrating situation.

  Thank you

  Here is a useful document to Microsoft on the issues of DVD playback.

  A burned disc appears as a blank disc in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/905922

  Looks like it s not hardware but software more related question.
  As far as I know the CD/DVD drives don't support all types of CD and DVD.

  Maybe a few DVD movies are burnt on the media which are not entirely compatible with the internal CD/DVD drive
  To me, it seems plausible

• Unable to play DVD on the XP machine, receive message «recover the missing DVD decoder»

  Never played a DVD on my XP explorer 8. When I tried today the compatible DVD decoder said dialog box has not been installed. Tried the Application CD that came with the computer, but have not installed. I'm puzzled! Help.

  Thank you very much for the reply. No, I have 2 CD "drawers" we scored the other CD - RW DVD-ROM. More my CD that came with the computer application was the top DVD decoder but it would still not installed. Think it's time for the new computer that I got this one in 2003. Yet once again, I really appreciate your answer, good luck to you in the future, we need more people like you ready to lend a hand. Dean San Jule * address email is removed from the privacy *.

• Satellite C50 - A - 15 L: unable to play audio or video via the media player

  Hi all

  I have problems with my player functions and media browser suddenly - it seems to have taken place after a "significant recent update" (causes more problems than the patches).

  In any case, since this update, I was unable to play video or audio files using the media player or cut and paste all the items when sorting of files.

  All very well before, but now when I pointed out and click "cut", the timer of the cuts and the window goes right to the "not responding". Drag and drop works OK, then go back to delete files.

  Regarding the multimedia files, double-click one and no response, click 'open' and right, once again, nothing...

  Everyone has experienced similar problems?
  Whether a hotfix or patch?

  Thank you very much

  Matt

  From there where I bit you have no problem with the laptop but with Microsoft System.

  "Hotmail" isn t produced by Toshiba.
  If you have problems connecting to the Hotmail account, you must contact Microsoft technical support for help.

  By the way: you can always set the system back to the beginning point of time before receiving updates.
  Windows 8 creates a point of restoration automatically when Windows updates and other system maintenance events.

  Open charm bar (Win key + c), choose the Apps and search for Restore Point. Then click on settings. On the left side, you will see the option called create a restore point.
  New window will open. In the System Protection tab, select the system restore.
  Clicking next would lead to the next step when you restore the computer to the State it was before the selected event (windows update).

• Satellite Pro 6000: no sound when you play the CD or the DVD-audio

  Hello

  I m pretty new to laptops and so I put t know much about them, this looks like a good place to come however from the answers. Well, my problem is that when you try to play the DVD or CD, even for those who rely on the laptop there is no sound. The speakers work because I ve checked, but if I wanted to play an audio Cd or a DVD in windows media how to activate the sound? Everything works great on my regular computer.

  I would be grateful for answers.

  Hello

  In Control Panel, you can find the sound and Audio devices. Here, you can change the settings to different controls. Check if the mute option on Audio CD control is not marked.

  Good bye
