Gateway Desktop GT5468, formerly Windows Vista 32 upgraded to Windows 7. No problems upgrading, and the DVD drive worked great through the upgrade.

After the upgrade, I cannot read any files on CDs/DVDs. If I try to launch exe files from the DVD I get:
"Windows Security: Your Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened."

If I put the same DVD in any other system it works great.

I've uninstalled the drive from Device Manager and let it reinstall. No problems there, but no luck either.
The Gateway site doesn't list any Optical Drive drivers or firmware on their site for this system.

The CD/DVD drive is TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H652D ATA Device.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

I do not think it is your CD\DVD drive the problem but your settings:

You wrote "Windows Security: Your Internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened."

The files are read, just windows is not opening then due to your security settings.

I am not a user of windows 7 so cannot advise you were to go to change your security settings but this is where i would investigate if i was you.

Sure enough, in safe mode I was able to launch content on the DVD with no problem. I launched the computer in MSCONFIG diagnostic mode, and still get the same error.

Anyone know where to configure DVD security settings in 7 Home Premium (since gpedit is not available)?

It is not your dvd settings but your Internet Explorer settings you have to change.

Try to reset the Internet Explorer (Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced > Reset)?

Hope this helps

No joy. I'd tried numerous security settings in IE and then tried your suggestion, but it still won't allow me to load a DVD in normal mode. I get the same errors.

It is a shame I can't get into gpedit in Home Premium to review those settings.

This is a fix that helped many users with the same problem as yours, maybe it can help you

1. Create another user (admin)
2. Switch to the newly-created user
3. Run regedit
4. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
5. Right-click -> export to a public folder or root dir (C:\ folder)
6. Switch back to your original account
7. Run regedit and remove the above keys from your original account
8. Go to C:\ and run the exported .reg

Hope this will help

Done, no change.

Also, when I created the new admin profile, it also couldn't access the files. Not profile related. Very frustrated. I can't think of what else to try.
