View 12 RepliesI have a very strange problem...I have a DVD -/+ RW drive that reads CDs fine but when you try to put in a DVD of any kind it does not recognize it...does not matter whether or not the DVD is a retail movie, DVD -/+ R or RW disc, etc. This problem is not with the drive as this is the 3rd unit I've put in and it has behaved the same way...there is some setting or function within Windows XP that is causing this problem...all 3 of the drives work just fine in other machines. Does anyone know where this type of problem could reside within XP?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to create my own restore DVDs. Why? Well, we have all been there. You build a new system, install a fresh copy of Win XP Pro and install all of the updates and your favorite programs. The system starts in 30 seconds and runs like a charm. As time goes on you install and uninstall a few programs and games, and your system slows to a crawl and crashes all the time.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have burned data on DVD ,but for some reason when I try to use it ,the system(Windows XP Professional SP2 ) gives me "please insert disc" message.It started happening after I reinstalled windows ,but the data was burned onto disc on previous installation .It was the same system,I just had to reinstall it to fix a lot of accumulated problems .This happens with DVDs from various manufacturers and with different types of data,so I believe it's a system problem.It registers the disc being put in the DVD/CD drive(the icon is shown in my computer menu,although sometimes it is not) but it still gives me the insert disc message.98 % of the time it works O.K. ,but it should work all the time ,right?

and a black screen.
I don't know what info is needed to help find a solution but is available
upon request.
I have an LG DVD-ROM Model DRD8160B that has stopped recognizing DVD movies.The DVD won't even show up in Explorer; it just says "Please insert disk."
The drive plays a music CD all right and recognizes a CD-ROM with files on it.
Well I seem to be getting the problem where the auto run for DVDs or CDs doesn't come up. I know the cds have an auto run so don't try suggesting that the disks don't have it. I have no idea where or how to fix this problem.The drive its self has no problem reading the disk or running the disk what so ever, it just won�t auto run, which means I have to waste time going into my computer and clicking on the drive. So I�m wondering if there�s a setting somewhere that has disabled the auto run feature. I'm using windows XP if that helps at all.So if anyone here can help me, that would be great and I�m sorry if this is in the wrong section or whatever.

I used to use this program called ********* AVI to DVD which would convert the avi file and then automatically burn it to a dvd. However after a reinstall of my OS and reinstalling the program i tried loading an avi file and I get this error:"Avi2Mpeg Main has encountered an error and needs to close."I've tried reinstalling the program and making sure I have all the codecs needed but still no luck.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHaving problems with DVDs in Media Player 9. Basically, it will not play any sound on any DVD! Before I reloaded it, it has Media Player 10, but the sound did not work on that either! I have installed other programs like Nero ShowTime and the sounds works perfectly, so it must be a codec or something in Media Player. Tried downloading different codecs, but still can't get it working!the particular codec I need to get Media Player to play sound on DVDs? I don't particulary want to use a non-standard player.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently had to perform a complete re-installation of Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition due to a software error on my computer. Prior to the re installation, my computer came with WinDVD preinstalled on the system so I could watch DVD movies using my computers DVD-ROM drive. However, after the re-installation, I no longer have this software, nor would it seem, the appropriate DVD codecs for Windows Media Player. Since I no longer have the system discs that came bundled with my computer, I was wondering whether free codecs were available for download to allow Windows Media Player play DVD's.

I just reformatted my new xp media center edition pc. i put on all the programs i will want, all my personal files and settings, and really want to create a DVD (or set of DVDs if need be) that, at any time in the future, i could put in, and make XP go back to that exact state, with nothing lingering from things that happened after the date of the original backup.sort of like a reinstall cd, but instead of reinstalling to nothing, reinstalling to what i have set up. i see the backup program in ACCESSORIES.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to restore my old computer to its original state, but can't figure out how. Gateway won't help me because it is out of warranty. I have both the original DVDs I made when I bought it as well as the Recovery drive it came with. I can't figure out how to use either one. I thought the DVDs would boot from the first one and go from there, but they don't. Can anyone walk me through this using either medium?If it makes a difference, it is Windows XP home media center and a Gateway GT5220.
