    Windows 10 doesn't read my CDs therefore Windows Media Player neither!


    Everything started when I would load all my old CDs on my PC to save them on OneDrive.

    Windows Media Player didn't want to work so I went around looking for solutions and everything failed!

    So I was disappointed: I tried many different solutions included the fact to uninstall the device leaving the system to recognize again reinstalling it effortless. I noticed that Explorer neither was able to see it!

    But the last action gave me the idea for a workaround that finally seems to work! SO was not a problem to Windows Media Player but to Windows itself instead!


    There the workaround!
    In Win 10 the CD is not seen the most of the times a CD or DVD is inserted in the tray.


    Something goes wrong with what formerly was Interrupt call that now doesn't seem to work anymore.

    So I tried to make a workaround for every CD I insert!!!: to trigger the interrupt, I have to enterDevice Manager right click on Start Button, open theCD-DVD drive icon, then right clicking on it enter Properties.


    Now you have to insert your CD/DVD, then follow the above procedure then you'll seeWin10 finally seeing your CD/DVD!

    So you can keep the Device manager open and every time you load a CD you look for Properties!


    A long turn around isn't?

    New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

    Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:
    • Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
    • Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
    • Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.
    There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

    The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
