38specialgrl Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 My pc will play audio and programs but not dvds. I pulled up media center and tried doing it manually because it won't detect it otherwise on its own.. When I do it shows a little disc icon briefly and then says media center can't detect dvd please insert.

april Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Chances are you deleted a file necessary for your DVD drive to work. Try the following: RIGHT click on "My Computer" Click on "Properties" Click on "Hardware" Click on "Device Manager" Click on the '' + " sign next to the entry for CD/DVD drives Find the drive that isn't working and right click on it. Choose "Uninstall" and follow through on doing that. Exit from there, and reboot the computer. Windows should "see" the drive as "new hardware" and reinstall the drivers for the drive. Now try a DVD in the drive again. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
