plainlazy84 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Right i have a new DVD but it wont play on my laptop. However when i first put it in it did work to some extent, it read the disc came up however when the main bit played a flashing green screen was there. now after turning my computer off and back on it doesnt even read the disc at all - Its brand new disc, no scratches, very clean - the dvd drive reads every other CD n dvd fine - It doesnt come up with any errors, simply "no disc in drive" - wont work in all the players on my computer (latest version of media player, blaze dvd, easy dvd, cliprex dvd) - it is a Toshiba DVD- rom SD-R2102 drive. now with my limited knowledge of computers my ideas were, needs updated dvd driver or dvd encoder? but i dont really know exactly what they do or where to get them from. Its probably something completely different though. any computer experts want to help me out? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Does the disk work fine in other dvd players? Do other dvds still work in the laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Phaze Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 If it's the Region, then check out a program called "DVD Region Free" - it emulates the DVD player as whichever region you want.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainlazy84 Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 seems to have sorted it's self :S was nothing to do with the region though. It just randomly worked when i kept on re loading the disc in the drive (after about 50 times!) cheers for the help though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
