- Laptop will not read Music CD
- Posted by heafelomins on November 18th, 2007
Hi...I need help with my packard bell R1902 I have windows xp with a
built in dvd and cd player drive and burner. Just recently I have been
trying to play regular music cd's that played before on my laptop (the
cd's are brand new and not a scratch on them) but the laptop just does
a sound as if it were trying to read it and nothing happens. When I go
into ''my computer'' I see that the title does not appear so it means
that it is not being read by the driver. With dvd's it works perfectly
and have no problems. This problem actually started 1 week ago after I
rented a film and watched it on my laptop, after that I have not been
able to play any audio cd's. I don't know what happened, I have not
done any modifications or installations or anything really to my
laptop... and I don't know what to do...Any help please!

Also try the following. You should back up the registry before making
changes:
Click Start, Run, type Regedit, click OK.
Locate this Registry Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class
Key Name: {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Value Data: [Delete All Value Data from UpperFilters and LowerFilters]
Note: Do not delete the Key or the Multi-String Values. Delete only the
data values.
Exit Registry and Reboot

You should be aware than many DVDs install unwanted software when they are
inserted into a PC. Although much of it is supposed to allow acess to some
'interactive features' of the disk, a fair amount of it will also restrict
what the PC will play. For example many versions of the Interactual player,
installed by many DVDs, will disable any multi-region software that you have
running. Interactual will also make itself the default DVD player, but it
has a serious bug that it doesn't recognise the widescreen flags correctly.
