• Media Player, not DVD playback even though there is a disc in the drive

  Until yesterday, I could play and eject the CD from the drive of my PC very well. Now my hard drive is not reading the disc, I tried to eject (had to reboot in order to eject the CD) and then put it in, wipe the drive and switch to a different CD (still doesn't)

  I don't know if it's the hard drive itself or Windows but I can't play a DVD.
  Someone please help
  Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver has been corrupted.  Re-install a new copy should help

• Windows Media Player 11, DVD video, not big enough in fullscreen

  During playback of movies DVD with WMP 11 and in full screen, the video does not stretch to the edge of the screen.

  I have a flat screen monitor set to 1600 x 900. When I entered the mode full screen the video becomes a bit larger, but does not fill the edges of the screen. In other players such as InterWinDVD player or video Media Player Classic DVD of the CCCP play full screen completely to the edges of the screen (except for two black borders on the top and bottom do wide screen of culture).

  However in WMP 11 200% is not big enough. I was wondering if it is possible to get the video to play 300 or 400% in size?

  Here's what I mean:
  http://img44.imageshack.us/i/wmp11problems.jpg/

  Notice how the video area (Pink) is not stretched to fit the vertical edges of the screen.

  I really like WMP 11 due to SRS wow effects. Unfortunately, since the upgrade to a monitor flat screen with a resolution of 1600 x 900 WMP 11 the fact that the culture of the video. Other players I use InterWin DVD or the Media Player Classic CCCP do that mean the culture of the video. I am running Windows XP with SP3.

  Hey Helldiver.

  Check if you have the plug-ins installed to support the features of DVDs on your Media Player. Windows Media Player is a complete DVD player when combined with a DVD decoder (MPEG-2 decoder) with features such as full-screen video playback controls, ads chapter DVD and integrated pouch.

  If you are running Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate, DVD capabilities are included as part of the operating system. If you are running Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista business, or Windows Vista Enterprise, you can enhance your DVD playback experience by purchasing a pack of decoder DVD or upgrade to a more powerful version of Windows Vista.

  Here is a link to the list of plugins that you can install to get the features of full fledge for you DVD:

  Try to install these plug-ins and see if you can get the service your DVD playback fullscreen

• Vista Sidebar and Media Player stopped working after uninstalling Mcafee and AVG installation

  Hi, I'm new to the Dell Forums, my apologies if this isn't the right place to post this.

  Yesterday, I decided to remove Mcafee completely from my Inspiron 6400 (running Vista Ultimate) and install the free version of AVG. First, I downloaded the http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=107083&lc=1033 and AVG Mcafee removal tool and was save on my desktop. I unplugged my internet connection, uninstalled Mcafee Security Center of programs & features (recommended by Mcafee), rebooted, then ran Mcafee Removal Tool Development. EXE, rebooted, installed the free version of AVG, went online and installed the AVG updates, performed a full scan with no errors. The system seems to work well, but then I noticed that the clock on Windows Sidebar gadget turned black, the deleted with only a yellow box calendar gadget. I tried to open Media Player, no luck because he would not just open. Tried to launch Media Player as an admin, no luck. While my connection is an admin one. There is another connection admin account so connected to this account, but you have the same problem. I did a system restore and also tried to create new accounts, but the same thing happens with the Gadgets and Media Player. I also ran startup repair by using the Vista DVD, no luck.

  Did somebody encountered this problem? There is an almost similar post under Vista (http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=vista&message.id=41524&query.id=225388#M41524), but no solution. I had a feeling this uninstallation of Mcafee or running the Development. EXE may have messed up with the registry keys for the sidebar and Media Player. I also downloaded another gadget clock, no luck. Y at - it a fix for this? I don't want to install Mcafee again, as I had many problems with MCProxy and Spamkiller causing system crash and Mcafee has no solution so far. I also have spybot running on the system.

  I would appreciate if someone could help me with this. Thank you

• Windows XP and Media Player will write not CD player

  Here's a strange.  Until recently, I could write on a blank CD through Windows (data files) or Media Player (music).  Now Windows says empty disc is a complete application so a blank disc and Media Player says I have no burner.  Funny is that Nero recognizes the burner and it will do the music CD.  I had to send files on my laptop to burn data CDs.  Checked the registry via RegEdit and not made the change to a single value, so that the player is CD - RW (from CD - R).  Got rid of the Roxio installed by Dell awhile, as I wasn't with her.  Have not yet done the utility disk via F12 at startup.

  So what don't understand me?

  Try the following steps...

  Reach... Start button / run...

  Type or paste the following text in the box run:

• Windows 7 Professional 32 bit and Media player 12 play DVD files on the hard disk of the PC.

  I want to be able to read dvd files (vob files) with media player 12 by selecting the folder and then just click on play like no other product like power dvd or nero showtime, but I don't understand how to do this with wmp12.  Also why can I not add the vob files to the media library with wmp12?  Vob files appear in the Windows libraries outside wmp12, but when I add a folder to your video library in wmp12 they never appear in areas of the screen to play.  Wmp12 not allow vob files to add to the library or what?  I intend streaming files my blu - ray player from my network home using dlna.  All the other files except the vob files will flow from wmp12.  Whats up with that?

• The best Windows media player 11 dvd decoder?

  I had deleted my computer and re-intalled my xp home operating system.  (with sp3)  I have installed wmp11.  I now need a dvd decoder and opionions sought on one that suits.  I've never played DVD on this computer.  I've seen adds for roxio cineplayer, advanced corel which is the cheapest and set-top box to dvdse cyberlink power, but know nothing about them.  All others?

  I want to make sure that the "improvements" working properly.  (frame advance, video settings bright aka, cont, ect..)

  Also the ability to remove the nav bar for mode full-screen. (zoom would be as well)

  I ask because my brother compuer pro with wmp11 xp allow the video settings or zoom to work.

  I don't know what decoder he bought and he does not remember, so I don't know what to avoid.

  I'll def Standard comercial and burned dvd as well as avi and wmv.

  Thank you, Mark.

  PS please don't tell me not to use VLC.  There is no frame advance.  And is 'not' compatible 'screen Hunter' which I use for making screenshots in 1280 x 1024, which VLC can even begin to do.   (Yes screenhunter makes caps what is the resolution of your computer)

• I wonder if anyone is familiar with this type of problem with the help of a Windows Media Player for DVD videos.

  Hello!
  I came across a problem with my dvd on my laptop drive. The program that I use on my laptop is Media player from Windows. And the laptop will recognize the DVD and everything, but when it starts to play, it gives me this message from Windows Media Player: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. »

  Now I always use the old Windows XP for my laptop, but I can't seem to understand how to adjust the color quality and lower my screen resolution. Does anyone have a little step by step process that I could follow to do this?

  The problem is that Windows XP does not play DVD movies in native mode. You can
  have a DVD player, but it can only read DATA DVD at this time. In the order
  install a DVD codec to read video DVD discs. First we will
  Install this program from Microsoft and run it, and if you have a DVD
  Codec, it will appear in the display window. Download this program from
  here:

  http://www.softwarepatch.com/Windows/windowsdvdmpeg.html

  If it shows that you don't have a codec DVD installed, then you can
  buy one on one of the links on this page:
