I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop with Windows Vista.
Yesterday I started playing a rented DVD movie in Windows media center. It froze part of the way through. I kept on trying to eject it and re-insert it. It didn't play. Windows media center froze up so I restarted the computer. My laptop came up with the display squished to the left half of the screen.
I fixed that by right-clicking on the display, changing the font size, and restarting the computer. The display came back full size. Then I changed the font size back, restarted again, display is OK.
Except that now I can't play DVD's or CD's. When I try, the DVD reader sounds like it's trying - the fan comes on, the DVD is turning. But it doesn't start to play.
In the "Computer" window, all I see is the C drive. I don't have a D drive, which I think should be the DVD drive and should be there?
Also in "Device Manager", there's nothing that looks like a DVD/CD drive.
So what can I do?
DVD from hell!
