Crashes When Converting Dvds

Email Messages Lost Converting From XP
As I found out after the fact, upgrading to Windows RC (build 7100) did not transfer my old Outlook Express folders.  I was able to use Stellar Phoenix to recover the old DBX files, but I think they have been corrupted as I can't import the files in Windows Live.

Am I out of luck, or is there a way to recover the old messages?

EXPLORER.EXE Crashes, MMC.EXE Crashes, Moviemaker.exe Error
I want to love Win7 so badly, but this is just crazy. I'm about to go back to good old XP, simply for the stability. I'm about fed up with Windows 7 after only using it for two weeks. Off of a brand new and formatted clean install, with only Norton NIS 2010, Itunes, Adobe Reader, and Firefox 3.5.7 installed, I get constant explorer.exe crashes.

Shortly followed by an mmc.exe crash, then it just gets caught up in a never-ending explorer.exe crash that only a reboot resolves, for a short time. All drivers are up to date, and all Win 7 updates have been applied.

I've even formatted and re-installed Win7 only to have explorer begin crashing a day later. This is all on a stock Dell Inspiron 545 quad core, 8GB RAM, etc. I'm very tech savvy and am about jump off of the Win 7 bandwagon. Maybe the Apple Mac commercials are correct, another fumbled attempt at a stable OS from Microsoft?

After extensive reading, it appears that many others are suffering through this ____ also. Some get it while attempting to right click any icon, some when launching apps, some, like me , for no apparent reason at all. I don't ever get the BSOD, but the computer is essentially non-functional due to explorer restarting all the time.

I've done a ton of reading and have tried sfc /scannow, which found no errors. I've tried shellexview, to no avail for the context handlers. I've uninstalled and re-installed all non-MS apps. I've tried everything that I've read, and it eventually starts crashing again. It is very random, and I can find no patterns that cause the explorer crashing.

It works for two days, then goes haywire. Sometimes it only works for an hour before the explorer crashes begin. And yes, this is a fully licensed and legal copy of Win 7 Pro that I purchased through CDW. A side note, this computer ran WIN XP perfectly. All hardware has been tested and is perfect. If anyone has found a fix for this issue, then please chime in! Below are the errors that populate the Event Viewer:

Activation context generation failed for "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryMovieMaker.Exe".Error in manifest or policy file "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryWLMFDS.DLL" on line 8. Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested.

I Cannot Watch DVDs
I get an error message of "problem with digital copy protection between your DVD-drive, decoder and video card." I've installed new drivers for my DVD-drive (TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S233F ATA Device) and for my video card (NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT), doesn't help... VLC-player works best, since it can actually open the disc and show me some green/red/blue stuff movin and flickering..

Only time I was able to watch movies, was when I had AnyDVD installed, but the trial period is over now, so I'm back where I started. I had Win XP Home Edition before, and I never had this problem.

Autoplay And DVDs
Has anyone having problems with autoplay on Win7 Utlimate. Once Media Center has been selected you can not get the default to change in the autoplay selections. I reloaded Win7 three times with the same results. It is the default for autoplay when Win7 is loaded.

DVDs Plays But No Sound
Can't figure out what's going on. Music files and all other sounds play perfect.  Pop in a DVD and WMP plays it, but dead silence. Shut WMP down and play music files again just fine.

Anyone know what's going on?

Burning Iso Dvds
it doesn't matter if I use a third party program or the W/7 burn image feature to burn an iso, I end up with a dvd that has written data that can't be seen in explorer. All I can see in explorer is "files ready to be written to the disc > desktop."

The desktop file is [.ShellClassInfo]

LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll,-21815

If I try to burn that file it says "no files [staged] to burn"

I've tried different dvd's including Vertbatim, but all have been +RW.

Verify disk confirms the data is burnt and closing the disk does not make any difference....the files can't been seen.

Optical drive = LG H20L (with latest firmware)

Edit....the files I'm burning should be visible, but in any case I've got "shown hidden files, folder & drives" selected in folder options.

Win 7 Dvds 32 Or 64-bit - 2 Discs
I have checked with NewEgg, Amazon.com and Best Buy and no one seems to know whether the Upgrade version contains a 32 or 64-bit, or both O.S. dvd. NewEgg referred me to a toll-free number with Microsoft but that technician didn't know and he transferred me to the Microsoft Store rep and he didn't know if there was one or 2 disks included in the Upgrade version but "was sure it included both 32 & 64-bit". 

When I asked if it was necessary to contact Microsoft and order the 64-bit dvd as was necessary with Vista HP Upgrade all he would say was both were included with the Win7 Upgrade version. 

However the Amazon.com acknowledgement email mentions the order was for "1 DVD". I don't think there is room for both O.S. versions on one dvd so how in the heck do I find out what I will get when I order 3 Win7 Upgrade versions? I can't understand why not one single retailer or even the Microsoft Store doesn't know what they are shipping?

Can Win7 Be Installed From CDs Instead Of DVDs ?
Older computers typically come without a DVD drive and do not support flash drive boot or anything like that. (All the older Dells I've looked at only support Floppy, CD, and HD boot.) While I suppose with Windows Server and WAIK, or with some manipulation of the HD partitions, I might still be able to get these computers to install Windows 7, I was wondering if there was any option of getting Windows 7 on CD like there was for Vista.

After all, Win 7 is supposed to work on older computers better than Vista, so wouldn't it make sense for the installation media to do so as well?So my question is, where can I get Windows 7 on CD or how do I put the files from my Windows 7 DVD onto CD's? (After installing Windows 7 on someones computer, I would like to leave them a means of recovery even if I can find another way to do the installation.)

It seems that Guest Account cannot play DVDs or start the Media Center.

Why would that be?

Backing Up Double Disk DVDs
I have a few DVDs (Gettysburg and Gods & Generals to name a couple) which are multi-disk DVDs. How does one ensure the second disk goes where it belongs? Do I use 2 folders, one for each DVD, or can I get the DVD files to seamlessly integrate for a true 4 hour movie? Inquiring minds want to know..

Win 7 Not Recognizing Video DVDs
Upgraded my ASUS laptop with a TSST corp DVD from XP to Windows 7.  Still finding several bugs including the DVD dispappearing from the system from time to time which takes a reboot to fix.  More importantly I can no longer play movies from my DVD.  CDs work fine, and I can burn and read data DVD's.  ISO and UDF also work fine.

But load up a commercially produced DVD into the drive and my laptop gyrates for a while and tells me there is no DVD in the drive!

So what is interesting is this worked fine under XP.  The only conclusion I can come to is that Windows 7 will not play any kind of protected DVD.  If so, then I see no reason to finish builidng my media system or at least just no use Windows 7.

Any help or input?

Can't Burn Any CDs Or DVDs
Using Windows 7 RC 7100, and I haven't been able to burn any discs since install. When I hop over to my dual-boot of XP, I can burn anything just fine, so I don't believe it's a hardware failure/configuration issue.

Using:

Samsung SH-S182M (Latest Firmware)
Asus NF7-S (nForce2 Ultra400 + MCP - T chipset)

I've tried the latest Nero, WMP, and Imgburn all to no avail. Imgburn's log gives me constant errors: "Failed to Write Sectors [Insert Sectors] - Reason: Logical Unit Communication CRC Error (ULTRA-DMA/32)."

Also tried uninstalling IDE controllers and the drive itself, then reinstalling, several times over. I'm out of ideas.

Subtitle Issue In MCE For HD DVDs
There is a bug in MCE (Windows 7 RC) when subtitles are on for DVD's saved to a HDD.  It is intermittent between DVD's, but when it does happen on a DVD the bug appears consistently.  Basically the DVD playback hangs (image and sound freezes) and on any button press DVD playback restarts from the beginning.  How can this bug be raised please?

DvDs Not Working In Win 7 64-bit
I have a Plextor 870A and a LG H555L.  Neither work in Win7 64-bit.  Either or both work from BIOS and can boot.  Both are ISA.  System is a clean install of Win7 Professional 64-bit on a Gigabyte GA-x38-DQ6 motherboard.  No errors are shown in Device Manager.  Ironically, the Plextor can run its utilities on the Plextor drive.  However, Win7 does not see the drive in Explorer.  It does show the e: drive and hangs when it selected.  I've tried the forum suggestions of a) F8 boot and bypass digital sigs and b) deleting lower filters in Reg.  Any suggestions?

Four Different Win 7 Volume License DVDs
I am trying to find an explanation for the two different types of 32-bit / 64-bit Windows 7 volume license DVDs, available from Microsoft's Academic Select / World Wide Fulfillment product list.I am not finding anything searching for these part numbers that clearly explains what the difference is between the "UPG" and "non-UPG" DVDs:

FQC-00109
Windows 7 Pro-32 Bit
DVD
NON
27.00

FQC-00116
Windows 7 Pro-32 Bit Upg
DVD
NON
27.00

FQC-00110
Windows 7 Pro-64 Bit
DVD
NON
27.00

FQC-00823
Windows 7 Pro-64 Bit Upg
DVD
NON
27.00

I suppose I could just buy one of each and then figure out what they are for when I have them, but I see no point in wasting $54 on two 32-bit / 64-bit install DVDs I may not need.,The install path will be from Windows XP 32-bit VLK to Windows 7 KMS (clean install) with Virtual PC / XP-Mode, most likely using Novell ZENworks 10 drive imaging, and most likely using 64-bit wherever possible to be able to fully utilize 4+ gigs of installed RAM without dealing with the "PCI hole" 3 gig limit.We have no Vista machines that I care enough about, to go through the Windows 7 upgrade process.,

Problems Installing And Creating Backup DVDs
Immediately before I downloaded and installed Windows 7, I backed up my files onto DVD.  Unfortunately, it seems that W7 has taken a virulent dislike to both these and a previous set, and will not download and restore files from either. To make matters worse, when I attempt to make a new backup set, which I need because I have a problem with Windows Live Mail that necessitates removing and re-installing the program, I can't do that either; even running with the inbuilt Administrator account enabled, the backup stops part-way through with the message "Access denied Error 0x80070005" This may be all part of one problem with backup, or it might be two separate issues; either way I would appreciate any help in finding a solution.

Unable To Burn 8.5 GB Double Layer DVDs
My PC has x64 Windows 7 Ultimate running with an internal DVD drive installed. I was able to format and burn single-layer DVDs, but not 8.5 GB double layer DVDs manufactured by Imation. I have followed the same procedure as the one given on microsoft.com for burning CDs and DVDs with no luck. When I insert a DVD, the OS does not return the pop-up menu for formatting. Right-clicking on the drive in My Computer to format does not work either. Please provide me with a clue as to how you can format double-layer DVDs on Windows 7 Ultimate.

No Sound When Playing DVDs In Media Player
I've got full sound in everything else and the latest sound blaster drivers. I insert a DVD and play it in Windows Media Player or Center and I get no Audio (*shakes head).

I play the DVD in VLC and it plays and sounds fine, but the Quality of the DVD video in VLC blows.

What's the fix (and why does there need to be a fix) for Windows Media Player? You'd think Windows Media CENTER could at least play a DVD...

Can't Read DVDs Made In XP X86 In W7 X64
I don't know whether the Windows 7 forums are the right place for this question, but I hope someone can redirect me.

I have about 150 DVDs which back up my photographs. They were burned between 2003 and early 2009 in Win XP Pro x86, using Nero v.5. They were burned as data discs, not photo discs. The files are almost all in TIF, PSD or Camera Raw format.

I can read them (i.e. open them in Photoshop) in my XP computer. I can read them in Windows 7 x86 in a VMWare virtual machine. But I can't read them in Windows 7 x64.

The drive is a Pioneer DVR-216DBK, and I've installed the latest firmware. It isn't malfunctioning: I can install programs from DVDs/CDs, and I can write DVDs/CDs.

Searching on-line I found a program named Iso Burner, from which I can slowly and laboriously 'run' individual files (i.e. open them in PS), but I need to be able to see the contents in Bridge.

Can I do this if I:

a) buy a DVD drive that supports older formats, or

b) move the DVD drive that wrote the discs to my Windows 7 machine, or

c) download drivers from....?, or

d) buy the latest version of Nero (which I hoped to avoid; I hardly use DVDs for backup any more)

Media Center Movie Library Does Not Find DVDs
I am adding a UNC share that contains DVDs to Media Center in Win7, hoping to have the DVDs appear in the "movie library".   The first time I did this on a clean install of Win7 RTM it worked fine.  The DVDs appeared in the movie library as expected.  I then deleted the share from movie library, and a little while later added it back.  Unfortunately, this time the movies did not appear.  The share is on a Windows 2003 server, and is definitely accessible from the Win7 host.  The only thing that has changed is that I installed Windows Search 4.0 on the Windows 2003 server, and indexed the entire machine, including the DVD folder.

I can't see how this could have an impact. For further testing, I copied a few of the DVDs to a local folder on the Win7 machine, and then tried to add that folder to the movie library.  The movies still did not appear. So - oddly, the very first time I added the movies this worked, and now nothing that I do seems to get them to appear. I tried this on two different Win7 machines and I get the same problem.

Lite-ON Dvd Player Cannot Run Install Cd Or Dvds
I am having a problem that is either unique or is just being ignored by volunteers in all help rooms and forums. Problem the dvd player will load the directory on a disk and show the files in explorer, but the files will not run. Auto boot will start the drive but the files never finish loading nor run no matter how long I let the drives spin. This occurs even with the Windows 7 install dvd so the problem is not with a burnt at home dvd.

     My PC has a new MS approved Sony dvd burner and an approved Lite-ON dvd player. The mother board is an Asus M3N78 PRO board with an AMD Phenom 4 64 bit processor, the very latest bios upgrades, and the drives show to be working properly in device manager.

    PLEASE dont suggest that maybe I am using home burnt dvds or that the hardware is not MS approved.

    If no one has an answer say so and I will remove the Windows 7 from the pc and keep using XP which works very nearly perfectly.

     I have already tried te registry editing suggestions and they DONT WORK either.
