Can't Play DVD Movies in Windows 7

Since doing a clean install of Windows 7 on my second internal hard drive (dual booting into either Vista or Windows 7), I am not able to view a DVD movie. Inserting the DVD into one of my two DVD drives opens Windows Media Player to a black screen and nothing else happens. Opening the chapter list on the right side shows me the chapters, but clicking on any of them does nothing. Opening the drop-down DVD menu shows the Root Menu grayed out as are the next three items; the bottom four items are active. The DVD plays as it should on both DVD drives when I boot the system into Vista Ultimate. I'd appreciate suggestions on what to try next.

I believe there may be some issues playing protected dvd's - where your drive has been set as region free? Is this the case for you?

Playing DVD's in either Media Center or Media Player seems to be broken.

You can install the software that came with your DVD drive, and that software will play the DVD's just fine. But trying to use MP or MC just results in a black screen.

In fact, they both simply stop reading the drive (check your drive light as you try and play the DVD - it stops seeking). It seems the codecs that are compatible with WinXP or Vista are not compatible with W7.

Or there is an issue with DRM, because the DVD will sometimes play through the first screens - like the FBI warnings - then stop.

It's a beta, and has some problems.

I wondered about that. When I opened Windows Explorer to check my two CD/DVD drives they were not shown. When I put a CD in each drive, suddenly there they are with drive letters as they should be, but if the CD is removed, the listing goes away. So far I've had no problem installing software from a CD; just the DVDs that are a problem. Now I'll have to remember where I put the software discs that came with the drives :-( .

I've been successfully watching Pal (Region 4) DVD's on Windows 7 Media Center (both from the Media and off HD) - which also works fine in WMP. There's the odd glitch (sometimes the movie will freeze and restart after an hour or so - and the dvd menu options sometimes don't register) - but is definitely usable/working.

ps - I've also heard of reports that installing some 3rd party products (which alter the 'default' codecs used) can potentially cause some playback issues. (if you have done this - try to uninstall these products and see if it's the cause).

Mediaplayer and Media Centre play DVD's fine for region 2 in Windows 7, the only 3rd party player I have installed is VLC.

This is on a clean install that dual boots with OpenSolaris.

I had a simliar issue with my external hard drive. It wouldn't play any films via WMC saying that it was the wrong region. Basically with messing about in the network settings and adding the folder where my films are kept everything was fine.

This was frustrating as the Video Library showed all my films on both the external and internal drives. All films on the internal drive played fine, all those on the external came up with the region error, but as mentioned changing something in the network settings sorted this out.

Not sure if you guys use external HD's but something to bear in mind.

I have this exact same error, I do have k-lite codec pack installed but i have k-lite installed on another pc running win7 and i don't have any issues running dvds.

*EDIT* just uninstalled k-lite and had no effect, still can't play dvds. dvd registers, opens wmp but blank screen and nothing else happens

------------------------------------

Another addition to my progress on this problem, Have tried a new dvd drive in my computer (this one is sATA connected instead of the IDE i was originally using). Unfortunatly this had no effect and I still couldn't view dvds.

*EDIT* I got my DVD's to work! I just downloaded VLC player after reading a similar issue people had been having in vista. I can now watch DVD's on my computer but it has to be through VLC, still can't watch them in wmp or media center. This does suggest a codec issue but i don't know how i can make it work in wmp now. I don't want to have to rely on VLC for watching DVD's when the new wmp looks so good.

Have the same problem with dvd's the odd thing is that Vlc play's them with no problem along with other programs. very odd

Here's the bottom line. It seems windows 7 comes with no codecs on a clean install. Are your versions of windows 7 clean installs or upgrades. Vista home premium comes with pre installed sonic codecs. When I upgraded vista to windows 7 the DVD play flawlessly. In the control panel I see the codecs under the list of installed programs. The clean install does not play dvd's and there are no installed codecs in the control panel. Not many codecs work. I've tried several and the only one that works is Anydvd by Slysoft which is trialware (http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html). I haven't tried installing Roxio Creator 2009 but I bet this has the codecs in it as well.

Apparently Roxio is the answer. I'm now able to play the DVD's in Windows 7 since installing Roxio Creator 7. There have also been a few Windows 7 updates since I first wrote my problem, so I'm not sure if it was one of those that fixed the problem, or the Roxio install. I'm guessing it's the latter.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful suggestions.

Interesting. WMC works on my clean install of Windows 7 just fine. How are the DVD's ripped to your hard drives? As an ISO or .VOB files? Mine are ripped to folders as .VOB and they all show up normally. My HD-DVD/BLU-RAY drive also seems to be visible via VMC as it is showing the WALL-E disc currently in the drive. The only third-party software I have installed has been Cyberlink's OEM suite of apps that came with the LG BD drive.

Thank you for the tip about VLC. I was having the exact same problems from some of my BBC dvds (which are region 2 and 4). SOOOO frustrating!

VLC played them perfectly! No more Media Player for me!

Shame you're not correct in this statement. If win7 came with no codecs, then you'd have NO AUDIO, NO VIDEO, even from wav files, mp3s, avi files..... every single media file type has its own codec, and the player NEEDS that codec to deCODE the data. Think about the name.

As it is win7 comes with all the standard codecs, including the ability to play DVD's, even copy protected ones.

I've never seen this issue until my brother, with a clean install media centre pc is having the region issue on dvds. I know his machine is fine, as it was his xmas pressie off me, and my last 3 media centres have all been basic installs. Infact even since XP days you've been able to play DVD's.

Oh, I believe it is an issue with Windows 7 inability to recognize discs. Any disc. A movie, store bought music CD, blank CD.

Windows 7 doesn't work with CD players. Only USB drives. That is apparently the only input output it understands now.

Reply:

The drive I got shipped with a Toshiba, so god knows where the software is to reinstall it. It may be a media center and media player conflict. But I've gotten external drives, popped in movies or music, Windows 7 thinks they are blank or no CD. The internal drive, same thing. Replaced the internal, nothing.

I would imagine some update they did on windows made Windows 7 unable to work with any media but MP3s. So they try to sell you on upgrading to 10. Which I hear is just as half assed in that regard.

Jim Stiene

Reply:

Yes, why would anyone want to play a protected movie or CD in their CD player? Obviously the only reason for them are home movies.

You are basically saying Windows 7 can't play anything since everything is protected.

Import Virtual Machine

Hello

When i was importing virtual machine. there was three options:

1- Register the virtual machine in place (use the existing UID)

2- Restore the virtual machine (use the existing UID)

3- Copy the virtaul machine (create a new UID)

please define me these options with short examples and what is mean by in-place in first option?

Reply:

Hi, Hassan,

Register
If you have a virtual machine were you have already put all of the virtual machine files exactly where you want them, and you just need Hyper-V to start using the virtual machine where it is – this is the option you want to choose.

Restore
If your virtual machine files are stored on a file share / removable drive / etc… and you want Hyper-V to move the files to the appropriate location for you, and then register the virtual machine – this is the option for you.

Copy
If you have a set of virtual machine files that you want to import multiple times (e.g. you are using them as a template for new virtual machines) this is what you want to choose. This will copy the files to an appropriate location, give the virtual machine a new unique ID, and then register the virtual machine.

Outlook 2016 and Terminalserver 2016

Hi,

we migrated from Win 2008 R2 to Win 2016 Terminalservers with Outlook 2016. Some users has the problem, when they start Outlook, they see the mails, but can not delete them. The connection state of Outlook say it is connected. Outlook starts working again, if the user cheks the Connection Status and click Reconnect. All other Outlooks in our company work fine beside of the terminalserverinstallations. With 2008 R2 we had no such problems. Has anybody seen this behavior before?

Bug in MS paint in windows 7

I have found a bug in Paint in Windows 7.

Basically to reproduce it open any picture that is too large for ms paint to display on the screen in one go at 100%, scroll to the bottom of the image, select the bottom square so you can reduce the canvas size. Now reduce the canvas size by clicking and dragging the resize square upwards and let go of the mouse.

When you let go of the mouse this causes the screen and picture to readjust to fit to the new canvas size. When this happens ms paint moves the image down and in doing so cuts off the bottom section of the image making you lose parts of the image you wanted to keep.

I dont believe any other versions of Paint did this.

Paint in Windows 7 is a new application written in .NET I think, so this might explain the difference in behavior
with the previous versions.

its cause u have crop selected instead of rezize crop is the default option for some reason

------------------------------------
Reply:

That's not the reason, but thanks for trying.

It is actually a bug, i wanted to crop the canvass as it was too large for the picture, and after cropping the picture is lowered on the canvass causing you to lose parts of the picture you hadn't told MSPAINT to remove.

The older versions didn't do this, and i am a pretty experienced user with MSPAINT so i know it is not something i am doing wrong.

Hi Usrhlp,

This behavior is by design. Clicking and dragging the resize square will resize the picture by Pixels, it will lose parts of picture. You can resize the picture by percentage, it won't lose part of picture. To do this : plase click Resize in tool bar.

Thank you for your understanding.

------------------------------------
Reply:

No, this ISN'T by design.

I will add some pictures to show you what i mean.

This is step one, get a picture that is bigger than your current screen and open it in MSPAINT. Zoom to 50% (i dont think this matters but its what i did so i could see more of the image on the screen). Scroll to the bottom of the image so you are at the lowest point on the canvass. Your screen should look like this.

http://deanmoncaster.byethost7.com/step1.png

Now click the bottom middle crop square on the canvass and drag it to an arbitary location, in my above picture you can see the red line where i cropped the picture.

The result is shown here.

http://deanmoncaster.byethost7.com/step2.png

As you can clearly see, MSPAINT has cropped the picture but in the process has managed to crop a lot more of the picture than I actually told it to crop, roughly 3 or 4 inches worth.

I hope this better explains the bug that i have found in MSPAINT. This really is a bug, it isn't a feature and it certainly better not be by design! lol

i can see that but it may just be a problem with your computer or installation of your os because it works fine in mine and my uncles one works fine aswell

im going to post 3 pictures the first one is before i have put it into paint this is so u know what the whole picture looks like just so you know

http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff28/gazza126/Capture1-1.png

the next one is in paint i have drew a red line where i am going to crop to

http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff28/gazza126/Capture2.png

as you can see i am going to crop on the outside of the middle of the red line the third pic is after i have cropped it is cropped to exactly the right place no extra's taken off

http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff28/gazza126/Capture3.png

and that is the final pic as you can see it has cropped to exactly the right place.

This install is basically clean with all updates applied on the RTM version of Windows 7 (NOT RC, or BETA). If there is something wrong with the install already ill be sadly disappointed with Windows. I've only had it installed just over a week.

------------------------------------
Reply:

the updates are for the release canditate as the complete os dosn't get released until 22nd october and also even the complete os will have bugs that is why microsoft have live updates so that if they do find a bug they can get it fixed as soon as possible and in terms of rc's this is a very good one and the rc install can sometimes get corrupted or have somting wrong which dosn't happen to evry1 else okay hope this helps a bit even tho it probably won't but at least i tried.

You have tried and i appreciate it.

I am a technet subscriber so i get windows 7 a couple of months before you which is how i am using the version of Windows 7 you will get in october.

From what i have heard a few bugs that were not in the RC have managed to find themselves into the RTM version. I think that this paint bug is one such problem.

Can you confirm you are using the RC gaz?

yes i am using the rc and no bug with paint so maybe is that not sure but im sure microsoft will fix it in a future update after the main release

I can confirm this.
I have the RTM version via an MSDN subscription. I tried your experiment and did not see the problem when at 100% zoom. Changing to 50% showed the bug exactly as described (except I had a different picture :-) , I used http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/height.png)

Thanks for your input gaz, can you try to do it again only this time following the steps i mentioned?

The image you have used at 50% zoom is not larger than your display area and as such doesn't contain a scroll bar like in BOTH of my pictures, i had highlighted them using a large RED ARROW.

Also can you try using the middle lower resize square instead of the right lower one as shown in step 1?

Dean

------------------------------------
Reply:

I have managed to work out what seems to be causing this BUG.

First off create a canvass, that when at 50% or 25% zoom it is too large for the screen to display in one go and vertical scroll bars are displayed down the right hand side.

Now when at 25% or 50% with vertical scroll bars on display, scroll to the bottom of the screen and note the length of your canvass, in my instance the length is 29.04 inches.

Now click and hold the mouse button on either of the bottom two canvass resize squares and start moving the mouse up and down as though you were going to resize the canvass BUT DONT LET THE MOUSE BUTTON GO. Eventually return the mouse back to the location that it started and look at the NEW canvass length. In my instance here it is 23.75 inches. You can now release the mouse button.

In effect, i have lost 5 inches of picture by merely grabbing the canvass resize square, extending the cavass size, then decreasing the canvass size and finally returning the canvass back to the original size before releasing my mouse button.

It seems as though the counting mechanism for the diameters of the canvass are screwed when at 25% and 50% zoom. I cannot get paint to do this at 12.5% or anything larger than 50%.

Hopefully you can recreate the bug and i have helped narrow it down a little.

I'm having the same problem with extra areas getting cut off when I try to crop carefully, but I can now work around it by making sure to be at 100% zoom crop. Sometimes that might be impractical, but if other commenters are correct it should also be safe at 12.5% zoom. Silly.

Anyways, thanks SO MUCH for your help, peeps. Now back to my drawing board!

Apparently it's still happening in March 2017 on Windows 10. In my case it automatically cuts of the bottom of my picture when I try to cut off the right side of the picture. Somehow it doesn't happen vice versa, so now I extend a white space at the bottom of the picture first, then I cut off the right side, letting the bug cut off the white space at the bottom. Then when I'm done with the right, I cut off any remaining white space at the bottom. Yes, it's troublesome and annoying.

Issue 1058 error code 65 Default Domain Policy solution

Hi everyone,

I'd like to share with you the solution I found to fix an issue when there is an update of the admx/adml template inside the PolicyDefinitions from the sysvol of a domain controller.

After an upgrade, there is sometime an issue with ID '1058' in the event log and (with Get-GPO from Powershell) we can determine this is the Default Domain Policy.

If the policy seems correct with permissions, try to remove the 'Authenticated Users' in the Scope group filtering, and re-added after.

Make sure this group has the read in the delegation and you can do a gpupdate /force.

Normally it works.

Regards.

Lock Screen by GPO after Update November 2016

Hi everyone,

I would like to share with you the solution I found to solve the issue about applying the "force custom lock screen" gpo on the windows 10 pro, which doesn't work after November 2016 update.

You have to update the PolicyDefinitions inside de sysvol of one Domain Controller by the last .admx/.adml templates (see below):

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53430

After that you will be able to force the lock screen by the same option.

NIC Teaming Host Unmanageable and general error not covered by more specific error

Found one of our cluster nodes with NIC teaming has this problem: NIC teaming shows the Host Unmanageable, and all the NetLBFOTeam PowerShell cmdlets return the following:

Hi, I've encountered this issue two weeks ago in a Windows 2012 Hyper-V Cluster.

Due to a planned electrical maintenance, I've taken a full shut down of the entire cluster environment: three nodes and a SAN.

When I've powered on the system, I've discovered that the cluster nodes were having troubles connecting each other via network.

After some more research I've found all three nodes with this issue related to the teams and no NIC were present on "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections".

I was first able to have the NICs/Teams back with this procedure:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/e2cc0c20-2f73-46d5-9db3-96af0d028f2c/windows-2012-network-teaming-broken-host-unmanageable?forum=winserverPN

But the bindings were all incorrect. For example, the "Client for Microsoft Network" was selected but not functioning.

To repair the bindings I've done an unselect/save/select/save again.

Also after that I was able to bring a cluster node up and running, but unable to have a correct communication between the nodes.

I've finished rebuilding all the three nodes one at a time.

I'm searching for the root of the probem, but not find anything yet.

My configuration is:

- Nodes Dell PE R720

- NIC Intel I350 / X520

- SAN Dell Equallogic 6110

- O.S. Windows 2012

Wich hardware/software configuration do you have on the other similar cases?

Marco

Hi Haythoom.

The generic drivers used by Windows are bundled with the Windows installation disc, but I'd suggest you not try installing Windows 10: you've correctly stated that there are no updated drivers (the latest ones have been released for Windows 7), so that would be enough to say that a Windows version newer that Windows 7 is not supported on that PC and installing that could lead to problems.

$("div.content").height($("div.content").height() + 116);
}

if (url.Params.HideMenu === "true") {
$("#menu").hide();
$("div.content").height($("div.content").height() + 39);

To make it short, add the URL Parameters HideHeader=true and HideMenu=true to your URL. For Example:

Powershell - capture a running process and reopen it and the same state ( after closing it ) on Remote Computer

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to save a running process information of outlook in order to reopen it at the same state.

The reason is, I have to copy a file in the outlook directory while renaming an exiting one before it in order to replace it, from time to time the file is being used by outlook, what im trying to do is to close outlook remotely and reopen it after 1-2 sec's.

I remember some old discussion about this topic but i cant find it :)

at for now i can store the process, close it but i can only open a new session of that process ( outlook )

any idea how to do this ?

thx,

Wavestone

Reply:

It is not possible to run Outlook remotely. That is specifically excluded by Microsoft. You can never successfully run any GUI program remotely if it has not been designed to be run that way.

What you are trying to do can be very disruptive and may crash the remote system or, at a minimum, make Outlook unusable.
