Q: Ive never had a problem before with my Pioneer 106s slot loading DVD drive to beat, but tonight I can not watch movies. I tried playing a music CD and it seems OK to. I watched a new movie and it errored. Ive tried to play again and it errored on the exact same spot. The message is that the disc may be dirty or scratched:
_______________________________________
DVD Error
_______________________________________
Error Code: 89020003
The DVD disc can be so damaged as to inhibit playback operation.
Close
Detailed
If you hit “Details” it says, clean the surface of the disk if possible . If it is scratched, it may not readable.
The disc looks fine, so I have a few other DVDs (some well known) and even mistakes. Some can not play at all. Generally I get this error when I first disc:
Program Error
Autoplay.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You must restart program.
An error log is created.
OK

What does it mean when he says an error log is created? Where do you look for the error log?

I restart, same problem. I usually use Power DVD 3.0. I tried playing a known good DVD movie NVDVD who my video card. It plays in any case, but every few seconds the screen just forward it to the middle of a scene! This is the Baby Rigzilla computer in my sig. Any ideas? Thanks!
Best Answer: Try a system restore. It restores your computer to a certain previous point in time. Type system restore in the start menu search box and you should see it. click on it. then choose a point in which your computer was working fine.

You try reinstalling your codec proggie?, IE winDVD, PowerDVD etc… Mine's gotten currupted a few time for some reason.
It seems unlikely because both PowerDVD and NVDVD are not working, but I will uninstall PowerDVD and reinstall and see what happens. Thanks.

Try cleaning the DVD?
No, no. There's nothing wrong with the DVD. I tried playing several other DVD's that never had a problem in this drive and they won't play either. Usually it never gets into the movie. I just get the message that it's probably either scratched or dirty but it has to be something else. I put the DVD drive in my other machine and it seemed OK, but I didn't play too much of the movie and I did that for two DVDs. I think the next step is to put it in the other machine again and make sure it's really OK in there.
I ghosted back from two weeks ago the OS partition but the problem persisted. My best guess now is that the lens is dirty or something. I'm tempted to open up the drive and blast it with compressed gas, but I've never done anything like that and am hesitant to try that. I couldn't rip a movie with Smartripper either.
Re:Try cleaning the DVD?
Re:I tried uninstalling the drive in Device Manager and rebooted. I found that the drive is still mapped to P: but don't know if that would be a factor. If all else fails I will Ghost back my Windows 2000 from a couple weeks ago but I want to exhaust other possibilities, obviously.
Come on, doesn't anyone have any good ideas? :confused:
Re:I decided that the likely next step was to remove the drive and put it in my other machine, also Windows 2000 SP3. It appears to work OK in that other machine! So, I put it back in the original machine where it's mapped to P: (for Pioneer). I had rebooted the machine to make sure it would "forget" the drive and force Win2000 to reassess its presence. The mapping to P: persists, which actually doesn't please me. Worse, it's still thinking that discs are dirty or scratched. What's up and what's the logical next thing to do. I did Ghost my OS partition a couple weeks ago so I could restore that (after backing up a few things in my \Documents and Settings). Thanks for any help.
