Hi guys I have been working with Old Guy Geek about my DVD player that won't play. on windows 10. I would like to thank him for all his help, With OGG's help, and after installing the VLC media player I have narrowed the problem down, by checking in the 'device manager'. that tells me that my hardware device (DVD player) is disconnected from my PC (code 45) and to now re-connect it!! the problem now is I don't know how.- any ideas??
SOLVED DVD/CD player disconnected
