I watched the first disk without issue, and then most of the second disk without issue, but I had to stop half way through the last episode because of real life. I reinserted the disk later, and the drive made a series of weird noises, and utterly failed to play the DVD. I tried again; same result.<\/p>\n<p>I tested it with an Harry Potter Audio Book CD, and it worked fine. I tested it with my Avengers DVD, and that worked fine. I put in the third Charmed disk, and THAT worked fine. I thought the problem was solved, and happily watched my way through that disk, thinking maybe the problem had just been with disk two. Then I tried to watch disk four, and had exactly the same problem as I&#8217;d had with disk two.<\/p>\n<p>I tried the Avengers DVD again, just in case it wasn&#8217;t playing -any- DVDs, but it worked fine. I restarted my laptop, and tried again with Charmed disk four. Same problem.<\/p>\n<p>I know it is not the disk, because the disk works just fine on my friend&#8217;s computer, and I know it is not the DVD drive alone, since it&#8217;s perfectly happy to play Avengers or Harry Potter. I just don&#8217;t understand why my DVD drive is having such a problem with only these -specific- DVDs, when less than a week ago, it was fine playing them.<\/p>\n<p>Please help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":31},"question-category":[75],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-4502","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-vista"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/4502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=4502"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=4502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
