I just tried playing dvds on my dvd drive and nothing's happening. Real Player is telling me that I don't have a dvd drive and when I try playing dvds via InterActual I'm getting the message: 'Error PL4013: Playback failed due to a problem with the video subsystem. You may be using an unsupported display mode or your system may not have a working decoder installed. Please ensure that your DVD decoder is functioning properly by launching it from Start/Programs. I've tried playing cds and there are no problems. This has only just started happening.
I can play music, but can't play music videos.I get this error message:Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. In the Open URL dialog, try opening the file using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").I am also having problems with UPDATING Windows Media- I get a message saying I am missing some components. I cant go into the Microsoft updates webpage either- I get a message saying ''page cannot be displayed''
I have an ASUS laptop running WinXP SP2. Recently the autoplay function on my CD/DVD drive has stopped working. It still reads the cds and dvds but when I insert one it doesn't register it (i.e. display the name of the cd/dvd) and doesn't autoplay. I have checked the properties of the drive and autoplay is switched on for all cd/dvd types (I have also reset it to default settings to make sure). I have tried the Microsoft Autoplay fix for Win XP as well but this hasn't worked either.I can't think of any software that I have installed or uninstalled recently that could have caused this not to work and I can't think of anything else to try.
I have an AOpen DVD Reader and a Samsung DVD Burner drive in my XP Pro SP2 system.My problem is that whenever I put any CD or DVD in either drive the auto play will not work, if I open up My Computer and click on the drive Icon it will open up in the folder list but there is no Auto Play option.I have run the CD Auto Play from K'K line 10 and also restore Auto Play Icon, line 17 but none of these have worked. I have also run the repair tool from Kelly's Korner line 234 right hand side but that is unable to repair the function.
whenever I try to play music it doesnt play, it says low on memory, whenever I open any Microsoft Word program it gives me some error about a license, and whever I try to copy and paste anything, it doesnt let me. I have a few partitions on my hard drive and whenever I copy one file or a folder or anything, I cannot paste it anywhere. If I open Control Panel, the screen doesnt appear as usual, all the icons are on two columns on the lft side with a scroll bar next to them. If I try to open Add/Remove programs, it comes up all garbled. I was going to just reformat the whole computer but it will not boot from the cd rom drive now. And whenever the computer is booted in W2K and I try to browse the CD in My Computer, it just says "Please insert disk in drive...." Also, whenevr I restart, it sits on my desktop for about 5 minutes before it finally brings up the icons and everything. It has never done any of this, it just started this morning.
I have a couple thousand midi files broken into smaller folders. I click one to play with Media Player or there was a link that said PLAY ALL. That doesn't appear anymore and I have to keep selecting tunes each time one ends. I looked in the window drop downs but can't find how to bring back PLAY ALL.
i have a problem with windows media player, whenever i try to play a video, it says play at the bottom left hand side of the screen but nothing plays, audio, or video, what do i do?
I copied a bunch of photos my granddaughter had taken to a CD. But I don't know how to open the CD so that I can be sure the photos are on it. I have Windows XP Home Edition. I'm not sure what else I need to tell you.
When I put a DVD in it will not play. No problem playing CD's. When I right click and try to open. Says please insert disk in drive when there is a DVD in drive. Have already tried system restore. I also rebooted my computer. Still not working. P.S. I just recently ran an update for a software program. Could that have anything to do with this problem?
When I was installing Windows XP SP3 on this computer, I received a notice that the installer couldn't find a specific file, but I was able to skip over it and resume installation. I received this notice when I installed Windows on another machine but this time looked it up and was able to find the file on the CD (don't remember the file name.). On the first computer, it seems like a lot of plug and play functionality doesn't work..specifically when I hook up my Creative Zen (MP3 player) or even Blackberry. I am unable to transfer files to or from these devices through Explorer like I can the other computer in which I did a thorough installation of Windows. I am also unable to update Windows Media Player, which could or could not be related. Is it possible the file I skipped over is what's causing this issue? Is there any way I can repair Windows or do I have to re-install?
I am on CMT.COM and when I go to the video section to watch a video the commercial will play but when it gets to the video it will not play all it says on the player is ready.
Just recently my comp stopped playing cd's of any type on the dvd drive.no error messages are being displayed. I have deleted the driver and restarted the computer.I was unable to update the driver, I have the best one now.I am running windows xp sp2.It says the device is working properly, location is 0(0).
My computer has so many problems right now i don't know what the deal is.The speakers won't play, it won't let you burn on to blank CDs anymore and everytime you restart the computer my documents automatically comes up. There are so many problems. Here is the hijack this file, i don't know if it's the up to date version though.
I'm not sure where to ask this because I'm not sure what's causing it. I have a fresh install of XP Pro in an old machine running an Athlon XP 3000+ on an ASUS A7V8X MB with 1.25G of memory. Bios & drivers are current. Every time I launch a DVD the system freezes completely. I can open the viewer, either VLC or WMP but as soon as the DVD begins to open it freezes. The CPU is not overclocked and the machine runs OK otherwise.
Well I have just got an Ipaq h5550. I can't get the Installation CD to work. Auto play wont work. I've tried right-clicking and clicking the Autoplay but nothing happens. The only thing I can do is right-click open. The CD opens up the files but no Auto play. I've been into properties and everything seems to be fine. I tried the CD on my laptop and it worked fine, but on my Desktop all I get is a.'popup blocked by Google Toolbar message even though internet explorer isn't even open! Question: why is google blocking the CD? Strange don't you think?

I just got a Samsung DVD/CD+RW and it's been working great. However, one thing bugs me. Auto Play will not work with it. I have options in the drive's properties menu to choose what actions the drive should take when a media CD is installed. I have it set so that any type of media is AutoPlay. There're no options for data discs. However, no matter what kind of disc, from movie to Windows XP nothing happens. I have to open up My Computer and then browse for the auto play.
Yesterday I took a couple of snaps as usual with my Olympus Digital 6.0 mega pixel 2.5 LCD.Used the usual cable to connect the camera via USB front port on my PC tower and the usual D: Removable dialog box did not show up on my desktop for me to choose out of several items what I wanted to do. I right clicked on My Computer > open, but the D:drive was empty. I usually choose to 'make a new folder on Picasa' > import and that is it.
So I then downloaded and installed Olympus Master CD that came with the camera, (Never needed before) but I thought I will try anything to correct this issue. Still the same, the D: Removable Drive is empty. I then booted up my Laptop on the same Network, enabled the camera in the USB port, up popped the AutoPlay dialog box, chose to make a new folder in Picasa, imported the pics, and using the sharing folder importing the pictures over to the PC. Certainly the long way around for me. So to clarify the Laptop works well with importing the pics from the camera, but the PC will not which is the new issue.Can anyone pinpoint what the trouble is on the PC that it will not recognize the camera and its photos for importing. One interesting thing when disconnecting the camera from the PC I used the "Remove Hardware option" the camera showed up for hardware to remove, so in one way the PC is recognizing the camera and in another it is not.
I hate this PC. I have had one problem after another, but I can't afford another PC right now and have to deal with this POS Emachines.

Everything has been working fine now for about 6 months(So I'm 3 mos overdo for a crash) since I had to wipe everthing and restart. Last week I had to tape a Digital Video and then edit it using Windows Movie Maker. The storing was very slow but I finally finished the project. Then I decided to tape one last thing on my Nokia N95 (A phone with a very good Carl Zeiss video recorder in it)..................
I am using a Dell XPS M140 Media Center Editition. For some reason I was able to watch video off the internet earlier, but now I can't watch any video. I'm pretty sure that I did nothing to WMP to cause this. I don't know how to get it back to the way it was.
When I connect a USB flash drive I want a window to appear giving me the option to run (if there is an auto.inf file), play music (if music files), open in a Windows Explorer window, etc.This is exactly what occurs on my two Windows XP Pro machines. Nothing happens on my XP Home; I have to get to the drive through "My Computer."Is this an XP Home limitation? Or can you think of some setting I've missed? All 3 PCs have SP2 and all Microsoft critical updates. I have no reason to suspect malware on the XP Home machine, and it has nothing detected by AVG (free), Windows Defender, Ad-Aware or Spybot.The registry key NoDriveTypeAutoRun is Hex 91 on all machines. The Properties on the USB drives are the same.
I get an error message "C00D11D1:cannot play file". When i go into Control PanelSounds and Audio Devices it is telling me that there is no audio recording device or playback device installed
