Can't watch DVDs or play games on Equium A60

Hi
I updated my BIOS about three months ago because I was having issues with ati2dvag.dll, and that seems to have solved the problem. I tried every fix I could find for that particular BSOD including changing the driver for my PCI-to-PCI bridge. Only the BIOS update seems to have cured that for good.
However I've since discovered that I can't watch DVDs on my laptop, or play any games with 3D content. I use WinDVD to watch DVDs, and it keeps bringing up a message telling me to lower my screen resolution or change to a lower refresh rate. However, when I do this it still doesn't play the DVD.
On trying to run a game (in this case Lemmings Revolution), the game began to load to a black screen before giving me the error message "3D accelerator not detected".
Any help would be gratefully received, as I can't work out what to do!

Cheers - Direct3D is apparently unavailable, but all the drivers are final versions as recommended. I suppose it's possible they've become corrupted, but it says 'No problems found'. Any ideas? I'm reluctant to interfere with DirectX without knowing what I'm doing.

Can't watch video and play games that require flash player

I'm using windows7 family premium version
internet explorer 10 last version 10.0.5
exploitation system 64 bytes
flash player verson 11..700.202 the latest one
So as i say can't watch video and play games that require flash player, they keep asking me to install flashplayer... i did everything i read in the forums, unistall it, clean the memory, reinstall it, disabe active x etc... but still have the problem.
More specific about my problem is that: let's say that i'm trying to look at you tutorial video under thi forum Re: How do I fix Windows permission problems with Flash Player? i'm just seeing a black screen. So I'm able to guess where is the play button so when i push on that place, i can hear the sound of that video. Second step guessing where is the enlarge button, and when the screen is enlarged, magic i can see and hear the video.... So you figure that it's impossible to use my computer like that and guess right all the time, so....
Second fact, it seems that bug happened after an update (windows or explorer) and i even talk with a microsott tech who was not able to resolve it... But if i'm undoning the update and go back to a prior image, i have no problems with flash player anymore... it' been moths that i'm delaying my updates cause i cannot find any solutions.... So Please please please, help me .... don't know what's the problem is and i'm not a pro, don't know what to do. (Excuse my english it's my second language)
Thank you

The first thing I'd try is updating your video driver.
Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?
If you still have problems and since you're using Windows 7 x64, please check to see if you have the following Windows update installed:
KB2670838 – Platform Update for Windows 7 x64
If so, please uninstall it and try Flash Player out again.

Can't watch rental movie hunger games, Can't watch rental movie hunger games, Can't watch rental movie hunger games

Hi guys,
Anybody any idea how it's possible I can't watch the new hunger game movie I rented of the iTunes Store?
I just seen the first chapter, bought it, rented the second part. And now can't mirror the dmn thing on my Apple TV nor can it watch it on my iPad?? It shows up in my rental section and stuff and even looks like it wants to play but then just goes back to the rental screen and nothing happens.
Plz some suggestions, this really scks!
Thnx a lot.
No tanks to Apple. Minus kudos big time!!!

What have you rented it on ? If a computer's iTunes then it should be in the Movies part of your library (if it's not there then does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option download it ?), if an iOS device then it should be in its Videos app.

I can't get dvds to play "There was an initialization error. A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017] Anybody know how to resolve this?

I can't get dvds to play and, instead, get "There was an initialization error. A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]" I went in for a Genius appt Friday and it played for the tech...but now I'm back home (one and a half hours from the store) and I'm getting the error message again when I try to load a dvd. Any recommendations?

Hello, try this...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Reboot... any change?

FC/e is based upon the Quicktime-engine; so, on 'Export using QT', you'll get all codecs & settings.
but which one..
due to sheer popularity, YouTube became a 'standard' - I'm happy with the convenience, YT and the 'embed'-code offers - excellent quality, automatic adjusted to the watchers connection&hardware.
my export settings are 720p, h264, 6MBit/sec - gives a - imho! - superb quality.
(example of a 'screen-test' from my latest project CLICK )
for creating so-called 'flash video'/.flv, you need 3rd party apps.
Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
.. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ...

Hi,
G6 is a series of many models, what is yours. Normally the laptop should come with a software which allow you to watch DVD movies on your computer (given it has DVD player). The software can be PowerDVD:

Can't watch dvds any more. Error: RADIO. What's that suppose to me

Title says basically everything I need to know. Why, when I use the remote to open the creative media source engine to play a dvd and I try playing it it says Error: Radio. I mean, come on, what's the Radio got to do with watching Dvds? I get a nero dvd encoder error or something when I try using InterActual, so I end up just using either Windows media player or VLC. I use VLC instead because I basically use it for everything video related. My point is, I need help. How do I get rid of this Radio error message and play some dvds? I've tried reinstalling and everything as well. I want to use the program because I can use the remote with it. I removed the front cover of my case just to use this remote but now I cant really.
Specs: ASUS a8n32-sli deluxe, 7800gt, x-fi fataly Rev A with a heat sink on it, amd 3800x2, TWINX2048-3500LLPRO Corsair ram, and.... some sony dvd dual layer burners, oh yea, windows 64bit sp.
I used to be able to play movies on my old abit an8-sli, but since I've switched, It's been doing this. It's also harder to install this card on this motherboard because the cd drivers will not detect the card after you install drivers from the cd, I end up downloading the beta drivers off of creative to install, but did not try downloading media source from there for I dont know if it would do the same and if it would work with the remote. Games and everything plays fine besides some times the card mixes sounds that should be going to the left and end up being on the right and vise versa.

Nope, does not help =/.
I've only have one decoder on my whole computer, VLC is just a program that has the codecs and decoders intergrated with it so no other players or system files can use them. It's a fresh install of windows and after I installed windows I went straight to chipset drivers (lan, mobo, nforce4, etc). After those I went and installed the video card and the sound card. I then rented a movie and tried playing it. Thats when I got the error, then I nero for a quick decoder because I did not want to go searching through my cds for my purenvida decoder thing.
I went and installed interactual from the cds for my mobo and gave me a corrupt decoder so I needed to watch the movie fast so I just went and installed VLC. After the movie, I uninstalled nero and got the pure nvidia decoder in and the same thing happens. I did remove everything even all registries going to the nero decoder and still the thing presist. The only decoder/codec on my computer now is the purevideo thing. The stuff still happens.
But this time when I installed the purevideo and went into interactual(after updates), it said I cant access the sound drivers for the program. Gi'ves me the following Problem:
You receive an "Audio Subsystem" error in InterActual Player when you attempt to play the disc.
Solution:
If you encounter an error in the Audio Subsystem when trying to play a DVD in InterActual Player, this usually means that there is an audio component of your system that is needed by InterActual Player, but is not available. Please make sure that any media programs that could use sound resources in your system are shut down. Examples include RealJukebox?, Music Match Jukebox?, or WinAmp. If any of these programs are running in the background, please make sure they are shut down, and try the DVD playback in InterActual Player again.
DVD playback in InterActual software usually uses the DirectSound components of your computer, which are installed with the DirectX set of drivers provided by Microsoft. If you continue to encounter the error, this may mean that DirectSound is not working properly on this system. Problems with DirectSound will most likely affect any program that depends on it, including some audio programs and many games. It may be necessary to upgrade or reinstall DirectX on your computer, as well as upgrading or reinstalling the drivers for your sound hardware as a potential solution to the issue. Please contact your computer manufacturer for help in doing this if you are not sure how to do it.
If nothing else works, this may simply be an installation problem with the DVD playback software provided on your computer, which is causing audio components to not be accessible. You may be able to resolve it by uninstalling and reinstalling this DVD playback software, using the software discs provided by the computer manufacturer. After doing this, try the DVD in the InterActual software again.
I've also tried this with no success now. There's something keeping the directx feature accessing the card is what I think that radio error is for. So, now all I need to know is how to fix this little problem if any one knows.

Satellite A105-S2101 - Can't watch DVDs with Express Media Player

I got this Satellite A105-S2101 notebook computer, and the LCD blew out on me within 2 years.
Luckily, I can still make use of the VGA, and S-Video outputs, but it may as well be a desktop PC now. Anyway, I just wanted to add that because of this problem, I no longer am able to watch DVDs with Express Media Player because it wont accept VGA or S-Video as defaults just my busted-up, good-for-nothing, always blurry anyway LCD.
It's only when I am in Windows mode that I can toggle to an external monitor.
The reason I write is, if there ever was a need to add anything for an update to EMP--now's the time and that would be something to add to it. What the heck?

Hi
I think the Express Media Player does not run in Windows mode
I mean it's not neccessary to run the Windows OSin order to run Express Media Player and therefore the video output does not work in connection with EMP.
I think you will have to use an Windows based software player VLC player is very nice. I use it too its small, free tool and you can play almost all files audio and video.

I Can't Watch DVDs Or Movies Full Screen

Hey all. I've had a read through a bunch of forums and no one seems to have had my problem. (At least, no one has posted about it that I can find).
I've had my Intel iMac for two months or so, and have always been able to watch full screen DVDs or .avi/.wmv/.mpg movies. However, in the past few days, whenever I go full screen (in any program; DVD Player, VLC, whatever) the playback becomes sketchy, the frame rate drops and everything gets jerky.
However, I can watch .wmv files fullscreen using Windows Media Player.
I haven't installed anything new recently. It just seems to have started happening for no good reason.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. It's not much fun watching DVDs or .avi's when they're not full screen. Thanks!

Thanks very much for the suggestions
My hard drive has about 130 gigs available, so I'm sure that's not it. I just repaired permissions and did a safe boot and the problem remains.
It's probably also worth noting that I've tried running both VLC and DVD Player after a reboot with absolutely no other programs running, so I don't think it's a memory problem.
I'm totally, 100% stumped.

Changed I'd and password and now I can't down load or play games because the go under old e-mail how can I change this

Changed e-mail and password and now I can't download or play games because the still go under old e-mail address what can I do

Try tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your devices (Settings > Store if they aren't on iOS 6+) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on them.

I can't watch DVD movie on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011). Why?

i have a Macbook pro 13"
Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Processor 2.3GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I tried to mount a DVD movie disc into my macbook but it automatically ejects without running.
My mac has Windows on bootcamp. The disc wouldn't run on windows as well.
Is there any problem with my mac? I rmb i could watch DVD on my mac.

Hey lilnaix,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you are experiencing issues with the SuperDrive on your MacBook Pro. The following resource provides some great troubleshooting information.
Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/HT2801
While you should definitely give the entire article a read, I have highlighted a particular section that may resolve your issue:
Accepts discs but they don't mount or are automatically ejected
1. Make sure the drive is not placed upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up as shown in section 1.
2. Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
3. Connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
4. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
5. Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
- OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
- OS X Lion v10.7 and later: Click the Apple () menu and then hold down the Option key. Choose System Information from the menu.
6. If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
Thanks,
Matt M.
