I agree to fzabkar, There are two Lazer Diode each for reading CD and DVD. The Lazer diode which reads DVD is either weak or not working. Transport it to service centre or telephone call Computer Technician to get it repaired.

Would be cheaper to just buy a new drive than pay to get it replaced.

Replacing the drive would be much cheaper than repairing information technology. In any case, I incertitude that you lot will be able to find a replacement optical pickup unit of measurement.

I have the same problem....but information technology might exist to my own ignorance.....I bought a used/wiped XP desktop......it will not run DVDs.....I downloaded VLC Media Player, afterwards realizing, doh, being wiped, maybe it needs something to permit it to read DVDs. Simply, fifty-fifty after reboot, it still doesn't work. In Win Explorer, the DVD drive still shows no contents.

I did a ton of reading, prior to realizing I might need a decoder, thinking maybe I need a new drive. Simply, don't want to go that road, until I'1000 sure.

What practice I need to exercise, for this back to defaults, XP computer to become the DVD drive to read DVDs?

Thanks in advance.

If Explorer is able to display the contents of a data CD but not a data DVD, and so the optical pickup is probably faulty. The pickup has 2 lasers, i for reading CDs, and the other for DVDs. Their wavelengths are different.

On, in the example of an old machine, might that exist a CD drive?

If Explorer is able to brandish the contents of a data CD only non a data DVD, so the optical pickup is probably faulty. The pickup has two lasers, ane for reading CDs, and the other for DVDs. Their wavelengths are different.

I would've replied sooner, equally I have mail service notification enabled, but I got no emails of replies.....

Anyhow, I read in some places well-nigh the carve up lasers for CDs vs DVDs, so know that's a possibility. But, if a computer is non "new" from a store, etc, is there not something yous need to add to play DVDs?

I'one thousand somewhat skeptical of it beingness the drive, because I bought 2 XP desktops off Ebay, and neither 1 plays DVDs in the DVD/CD combo drive. Too casual for me. They both play CDs in these drives fine. DVD's practice nothing and show no contents in Explorer.

AIUI, data DVDs should show up in Explorer, but video DVDs won't play until yous install appropriate application software plus the required sound/video codecs.

In fact I have a newly built bare bones Win98SE system with a DVD writer every bit its only optical drive. I take installed no additional multimedia related awarding software. If I open Explorer, I come across a video DVD containing AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS directories. The latter contains VOB, BUP, and IFO files.

Ok....and these are game DVDs..so I am guessing not data DVDs...Titan Quest was the main one I tried to install. Star Wars Battlefront the other. Would not play on either.

I downloaded and installed VLC Media Thespian.....should that not take intendance of the codec? From what I read it should accept. Maybe I'1000 just missing something? I did that and information technology even so didn't work. Or practice I still demand some sort of drivers/dvd software? I know they come resident with new computers, only what practise we do with these wiped ones?

Game DVDs are only software/information DVDs. They should incorporate a file arrangement that is recognisable by Windows.

In Explorer, if you can see the file system on a CD but not on a DVD, and then AFAICS there must a physical trouble with the drive.

R-click the bulldoze's icon and select Explore. If you lot can see a file organization, then mayhap you have some peculiar autorun issue. You could as well check the Properties of the disc.

Other than that, I accept no more ideas.

Game DVDs are just software/data DVDs. They should contain a file system that is recognisable past Windows.

In Explorer, if you can see the file arrangement on a CD simply not on a DVD, then AFAICS in that location must a concrete problem with the drive.

R-click the bulldoze'due south icon and select Explore. If you can see a file system, then perhaps you have some peculiar autorun issue. You could besides check the Backdrop of the disc.

Other than that, I accept no more ideas.

I hear you at that place, but if it was just this one used XP computer, I'd buy in....just non when I buy ii of them, from separate Ebay sellers, both wiped with Windows reinstalled, and neither reads DVDs. I'yard nonetheless holding out hope there is something else I tin can do. I don't buy that both drives on both computers are bad.

fzabkar · Sep 22, 2010 7,700 388 35,890 906

All I tin suggest is to create a bootable USB drive with some flavor of DOS that includes a commuter for your optical drive. Then try to perform a DIR on the DVD. That should eliminate any Windows issues.

Here I am over again on this topic...been over 2 years, but withal can't play DVDs on this desktop. I detest reckoner hassles so much, I give information technology some effort, then I just move on and live life. But, wanted to run a DVD, and then here I am again.

I even found a Microsoft fix folio that led me to edit the Registry, which I did. First it had me expect for the aforementioned "upper and lower filters". I had neither. Then, it had me add together a registry subkey...which I did.....sigh....even so no die.

Any ideas? This is pretty ridiculous. Withal reads no DVDs...reads CDs fine.

Here I am over again on this topic...been over 2 years, only however can't play DVDs on this desktop. I detest computer hassles so much, I give it some effort, so I just motion on and alive life. But, wanted to run a DVD, so here I am again.

I fifty-fifty found a Microsoft set page that led me to edit the Registry, which I did. First it had me look for the aforementioned "upper and lower filters". I had neither. Then, it had me add a registry subkey...which I did.....sigh....still no dice.

Whatsoever ideas? This is pretty ridiculous. All the same reads no DVDs...reads CDs fine.

I'm in the same state of affairs equally you. Maybe for another reason rhough, but requite a try to the post-obit (if you can), I'll explain farther down :

In either case, if you have a positive, then it may be related to the motherboard itself (wheter information technology would be an internal DVD driver would change nothing). Signal i - My DVD drive has no consequence and plays DVD flawlessly on another ASUS X58 I have since a couple of years rtunning Windows seven fully updated. Point 2 - I tin can play Opera Flamenco Historia de Un Amor DVD (Live @ Palau de la musica Catalana) without any hiccup, which came from Spain, but every time I try to play Led Zeppelin DVD Live at the Royal Albert Hall (From Atlantic video and zoned for ane), or whatver DVD that I bought here in Montreal (zoned for 1), my system freezes and I have to do a cold boot.

I've had this effect with an MSI H97 Gaming 3 motherboard I bought from Newegg Canada, which I had to RMA after a BIOS update bricked it. Newegg replaced it with a newer one having an updated version of the BIOS and it worked fine.

Now, today I have the exact same issue with another MSI motherboard, the H97I air conditioning - for building an HTPC - that I ordered from Newegg (!!! I will never always buy MSI once again, and willl never recommend that make anymore to whatever of my clients, every bit MSI maked me lose time and coin) : the aforementioned spanish Flamenco DVD plays fine via a USB DVD drive, merely Led Zeppelin would freeze the reckoner fo a cold boot (and yeah that DVD drive works fine on my other ASUS X58 system)... And I nevertheless oasis't found what to await for in any configuration/device driver, I found nothing on the Web in regards to that specific issue...

I volition never always buy MSI again, and willl never recommend that brand anymore to any of my clients, as MSI maked me lose time and money) : the aforementioned spanish Flamenco DVD plays fine via a USB DVD drive, but Led Zeppelin would freeze the computer fo a cold boot (and aye that DVD drive works fine on my other ASUS X58 organisation)... And I even so haven't found what to look for in whatsoever configuration/device driver, I plant nothing on the Web in regards to that specific issue...

I've had many problems with Windows XP Pro and Home near DVDs non being loaded...tried all the fixes from Microsoft including their hardware/software downloadable wizards...some worked for awhile but eventually failed...most never worked ever. Then I decided to go get some newer freeware apps for DVDs and plant one that has worked flawlessly for me for almost a year now. I'chiliad at my other laptop correct now where I don't do whatsoever burning so I never installed it. I use DL R/W drives so I know it's a good programme. If anyone needs the proper name, respond and I'll get the request on my laptop where information technology's installed and I tin can give you lot the name. Dave

Hi all,
I am going to add on to this thread because I am experiencing the same problem. The device reads and opens CDs and CD-ROMs but if I place a DVD or DVD-ROM in information technology doesn't read it.

I have a Samsung Chronos 700z model bought in 2012. Windows vii.
Matshita DVD RW UJ8A7AS

In the past (later on installing DVD decoder programs and ANY DVD) the calculator wouldn't even recognize the dvd drive. I solved that problem with help from this forum by beginning uninstalling the dvd software I had installed including ANY DVD and then fixing the registry edit upper and lower filters.

The DVD commuter was playing fine until a week ago when information technology stopped reading some DVDs only not all, and now it won't read whatever of them at all.

I have tried the registry and no upper and lower filters.
Here is what it says:
Default REG_SZ DVD/CD ROM drives
Class REG_SZ CDROM
ClassDesc REG_SZ @%SystemRoot%\System32\StorProp.dll,-17001
EnumPropPages REG_SZ storprop.dll,DvdPropPageProvider
IconPath REG_MULTI_SZ @%SystemRoot%\System32\imagers.dll, -30
Installer32 REG_SZ storprop.dll,DVDClassInstaller
NoInstallClass REG_SZ one
SilentInstall REG_SZ 1

Virus scans did not notice anything.
I have tried uninstalling the Matshita from the Device Manager and on restart it automatically reinstalls.
The Device Manager reports that the device is working properly. Information technology identifies the matshita but sees it as just a standard cd-rom bulldoze. Is this normal?
The driver file is
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\cdrom.sys
Provider: Microsoft Corp
File version: 6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm090713-1255)

I have also cleaned the drive with a cleaner.

Can anyone out there assist me?
