Windows 7 does not play DVD's but only CD's

Note: if I am not wrong, this problem started when I updated CCLEANER and run it.

Unless you know exactly what ccleaner is and are familiar with the registry, I recommend never using such software. It may have, in fact, deleted key parts of the registry that you needed. Follow this list as needed

1. I recommend uninstalling ccleaner and not using it anymore. There are very little actual benefits and it can cause major problems as it may edit the registry, something you should never do without registry knowledge.
2. Follow this link to run an SFC command to fix any problems
3. You might try clicking this method of system restore. If you have a restore point prior to the problems, restore your computer to that point. If not...
4. Try a startup repair, and do it 3 times as recommended
5. Try a repair install, but make sure you read the warning in the red box and make sure you are able to do one.

Portuga,

It may be best to hold off on posting information until you have gathered it all together so that it can be posted once instead of a steady stream of posts that serve only to increase thread page count. It also allows your posts to be more concise and take up less room.

Also, to upload pictures on sevenforums, I recommend using the snipping tool for Vista or Windows 7, and uploading them. This link will show you how to upload them via the prefered method.

After you've followed my tutorials, post back and let me know how its gone

Also, I am a bit confused about what you are telling me in these posts:

Before following the procedure above, I fixed the CD reading from another webpage

Portuga said:

The device manager says, "This device is working properly." I also uninstalled and then reinstalled the drivers, and it still won't work.

Did that method fix it nor not? My solutions deal with software fixes, that solution on that website deals with hardware. Perhaps the hardware is failing, and if so, a good way to test it would be to hook up another cd player and see if it works. If windows says it is working properly, I can only assume that it is and continue offering software related advice, rather than hardware. Let me know if I should change it.

I might be wrong about the Ccleaner, I believe it started the day I updated the Burnaware Free, from that moment on, the program brought a message showing an issue with the driver. I uninstaled it but no results.

Portuga,

Well, post results after you've followed all the advice I've given you to date, then we can go from there

I believe i have seen this before, It is a know bug in windows that has existed since windows 2000.
My belief is that this is registry corruption of sorts, not saying your regisrty is courpted or has missing entries they are simply incorrect. This KB demonstrates how to fix it.

Your CD drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

You might consider this advice from microsoft. Have you yet? The link provides this tool: Fix problems with CD or DVD drives that can
Install it and let it run to find any issues if it can. Worth a shot.

Have you tried another CD/DVD drive to see if it is a hardware problem on the drive's end?

Exactly what is wrong now? Does it have the same problems as it did to begin with (ie DVDs don't work, but CDs do)?

Once more, reading on the HP USA site here: Software & Driver Downloads HP Pavilion zv6270us Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English), Drivers for your particular computer (that you have listed in your system specs) work best for windows xp or 2000 only. You might put these drivers into compatability mode for XP as in this tutorial (but instead of Vista, select XP SP3: Drivers - Install Vista Drivers on Windows 7 - if that doesn't work well, try compatability mode for windows 2000.

Update your BIOS as listed in the driver section of the HP website (if you live in brazil, give that website a go), as well as installing the DVD/CDRW Drive Firmware. Make sure you do all of this, do not skip steps! :) May also need to put these in compatability mode. Sometimes you don't, sometimes you do.

Shoot, update all of it! Update windows using windows update too!
