HP Pavilion - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support - Page 7

Your HP computer should come with Quickplay, open the program, click on DVD, on the upper right hand corner on the left side of the rectangular box there should be an icon that looks like a wheel or a gear, click on that and click on Updates, should solve your problem.

I would take the movie back. We have found DVDs which cause similar problems.

in your android phone's settings enable or access developer options and turn on usb debugging,( if you don't know how to access developer options you can google your android phones model and android version and how to enable usb debugging) once you enable it just plug it into your laptop and it should recognize it and automatically download the correct driver, if not, go to your phones manufacture's website and look for driver downloads for your model and android version. you can also google this to save time.

You can install or reinstall DVD driver onto your laptop. 1. Open Device Manager using devmgmt.msc command and enable "View -> Show hidden devices" option. Now locate the DVD/CD-ROM drives and IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers items. 2. Right-click on each entry present under both "DVD/CD-ROM drives" and "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" sections one bye one and select Uninstall. 3. Once all have been removed, right-click again and select Scan for hardware changes. The drives will be rediscovered and when the drivers are loaded back, the drives will re-appear in My Computer window. You can also try to restart your computer. Then you should also have a DVD player program on your laptop. You can try Leawo Blu-ray Player which can play both Blu-ray and DVD movies.

You can only change the region code 4 times then it locks on the last change.
There are some firmware upgrades that can change the drive to region free, if you can screw it up or put in the wrong frmware upgrade then the DVD drive will be a piece on junk.
I suggest you install a region free software that will allow you to play and region DVDs.
Go to www.dvdidle.com to get their Region-Free software, it is not very expensive.

To enable MP classic to play different video formats you need to install codecs. Think of them as drivers used to operate a printer scanner etc.

I suggest you download the Basic K-Lite codec pack and close WM player. Install the codecs and try playing the video again. To start the download, click here.

Other options are to use another player. The following two are free and more user friendly:

VLC

GOM

Note: If you cannot download from the above links or if they do not work, go to google.com and search for the desired program like klite codec etc.


If you are still unable to get WM play videos then it is likely that it is of an unrecognized format like mov, rm. etc If so then try installing Real Player or Quicktime player as required.

There can other issues be also like drivers not installed but just try the above and we'll move on to next solution if needed.

I hope this information will be helpful. Thank you for using FixYa!

Hello and thanks for using FixYa.

Often when the machine gets stuck in such a way, the hard drive could be faulty and its causing the computer to hang. If you are outside of warranty, you could open the cover of the computer and disconnect the hard drive from the mainboard. (thats 2 cables that are easy to connect and disconnect) if the machine works faster with the drive removed it confirms that its faulty.

Try connecting it again and see if its stuck again, you could also try connecting the hard drive to another connector on the mainboard and see if it helps.

Most movies saved on the servers online are not compatible with windows media player since they are uploaded in different formats to decrease size and decrease uploading time. Common files like Mp4, .avi, rmvb, .mkv, etc....

If you want them to play using the windows media player, you'll need codecs like Klitemega codec packs, acemegacodec packs. You can download Klite Mega codec Packs here. Download and install it, then restart your system and try playing the download movies.

If this doesn't help, you better use a player like Vlc Media player, (click here to download), Install and run, you will be able to play any type of media using this player.

Good luck.

you can try going into your control panel and look for the speaker icon click in there and you should be able to set your sound settings.

1. Error: BOOTMGR is missing:

• The following error opens when attempting to start the PC:

??¢ If you recently installed an additional hard drive, turn off the computer and remove the drive before using the following steps:

??¢ Open HP System Recovery:

??¢ CAUTION: Do not perform a system recovery! Stop at the first recovery screen.

- Press the F11 key repeatedly while the computer is starting.

- If you have a recovery disc, turn on the PC and insert the first recovery disc into the drive. Use the disc to enter the system recovery.

??¢ Select Microsoft Startup Repair tool and wait for repair to find and fix errors. When finished, restart the computer; even if the startup repair tool finds errors but cannot fix them.

??¢ If the error message persists, open the recovery manager screen as was done in step 1.

??¢ At the recovery manager screen, press ALT + D.

??¢ Enter the following text at the command prompt: bootrec /rebuildbcd

??¢ If bootrec displays "Add installation to boot list?", press y .

??¢ After bootrec completes successfully, the computer displays "The operation completed successfully".

??¢ To close the command prompt, enter the following text: exit

??¢ At the Recovery Manager screen, select Microsoft Startup Repair tool (again) and wait for startup repair to find and fix errors. When finished, restart the computer.

??¢ The error should no longer open. If it does, perform a system recovery, making sure to backup important files.

??¢ If you removed a hard drive before using these steps, replace the drive. If the error occurs again, make sure the additional hard drive is not set as an active drive. Only the main bootable drive should be set as active.

To change the Region code on your player, open Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device manager, and click on DVD/CD ROM drives, then right click on the DVD drive and click Properties then click on DVD Region.
You can enter a new region and it also shows you how many changes have been made.
NOTE you can make only 4 changes and the player will lock permanently on the 4th change.
If you want to play DVD from any region you maybe able to upgrade the firmware to make it region free BUT if you make a mistake or installed the wrong firmware the player will be a piece of junk.
The best solution to make the player region free is to install a piece of software that allows you to play DVDs from any region. There are several available on the Internet but my favourite is DVD-Region Free
From: -
www.dvdidle.com/dvd-region-free.htm

Assuming that you mean that you cannot play dvd movies, you need software to play dvds.

You can download a free dvd player but you have to be careful about free software, sometimes they contain hacker tools
