I Have a Wierd problem and its difficult to
go to " device manager" and expand the dvd/cd rom drives. Select your dvd rom there and right click on it, then uninstall it. Then on top of the device manager options, click on "action" and click on scan for hardware changes. Wait for it to be detected again. You may need to have the driver for your dvd drive (usually its on the cd that came with the drive ) If you don't have then just dowload the driver from the internet.
I am lookinf for a restore driver for my sony
yoiu do not need drivers in windows 2000 and above for any cd/dvd player/burner. check if it is listed in your hardware, if not then check inside if it is actually physicaly connected.
you did not provide any information what is the problem, what operating system and what computer specs are. if you require more detailed help, do provide these details first please.
Play original movies only
My parents had a Sony drive that was the same. The guy at the store says that some sony models have a chip that detects the type of disc and will only play originals.

Set-up not working on sony dvd
After reformatting a computer, inserting an optical disc into a drive will not allow it to autoplay (there is no operating system to take control of the situation). If the disc is bootable and the BIOS is configured to allow booting from an optical drive, restarting the machine with the disc in it should allow the system to boot off of that disc. If this is the problem you are trying to describe, press whatever key (F2, F12, Del, etc) allows you to enter your BIOS setup program and ensure that your computer will attempt to boot from your CD/DVD drive, save your changes, and allow the computer to reboot. This should solve the issue.
Will not open
Hi there,
Sounds like the drive belt may have slipped off or snapped. You can open the tray manually. To do this, take a look at the front of the drive where the open button is, and there should be a small hole, just big enough for the blunt end of a sewing needle. This is the manual release.
The other thing is, it might just be catching on the case (may have been knocked at some point). Disconnect and remove the drive, then just put it back in. If you have a desktop, you can remove the front panel of the drive and re-attach it.
Hope those solve the problem
Regards,
Tim
