discs

I have several kids movies on my laptop. I want to burn them on to a DVD-RW so the lads can watch them when ever and I don't need to collect the laptop to the TV. I burned a Movie to a DVD and it worked fine but none of the next movies will work. Then burn on the DVD but wont play on my DVD...

I have been trying to install a few things on my new computer. MS Office, Photoshop, etc. The things I had on my older computer. When I try to install them, I get a message that says, "This app can't run on your PC", "To find a version for your PC, Check with the software publisher" If Windows...

One of my optical drives began having problems seeing discs, either for reading or writing. I figured that it was due to the fact that it had been quite a while since I cleaned it. Therefore I dug out my Philips Cleaner disc, which is actually no more than a disc with a couple of very small...

I recently installed Windows 7 SP1 and a whole bunch of updates. I just noticed that my laptop's DVD drive seems to have vanished! It's no longer listed under my computer and doesn't appear in device manager. Scan for hardware changes makes no difference. If I insert a disc, the motor runs and...

Hey guys ! I'm afraid I'm in a bit of a jam. I have had a blu-ray player on my PC for some time now and watched blurays with PowerDVD. I update it whenever a new Blu-ray asks me to, but lately I have been having some issues. Initially I thought it was something about Warner Bros discs, but...

I have downloaded the Windows 8 ISO and its size is 2.52 GB But all the DVDs here in Egypt at the area where I live is crap, they sell PRINCO DVDs and it has 4.7 GB / 120 Min on it but when I insert it into the drive, it reads 1.31 GB. Very strange!! In this case, can I split the ISO Image and...

Hello, I am in the process of ripping an audiobook to my hard drive, but one or two of the discs report read errors and stubbornly refuse to be ripped. I have been using AudioGrabber, NCH's Express Rip and Windows Media Player so far. They all stumble on discs 7 and 8 in a big way; they hang...

well, I couple of months ago I bought a Gateway laptop, one from the N series. About a month ago I got a blue screen, so I have been told to get the Recovery media discs, which I did. One system disc, 3 recovery discs and one language pack. After going through most of the process I ran into a...

Can I use a Win7 Upgrade disc to upgrade the RC? Or do I need to buy a full version? :confused: Thanks!

Well the problem's fairly simple, my optical drive won't read DVDs on W7. CDs work fine (I tried Diablo 2 & Warcraft 3) but DVDs won't work. I tried one I burned myself, several games and a few dual-layer ones. Windows just doesn't see a disc in the drive and when I want to open the disc from my...
