WinDVD BD for Vaio Update Problems

[garpaxto]

HELP PLEASE

Vaio update installed WinDVD BD 8.8.0.154 and it wouldn't play Blu Rays anymore (DVDs would play).

Sony support suggested that I uninstall the software and use Vaio recovery to install the original software but there was an error 505:41.

Reinstalling everything (including the OS) from scratch is not an option. Now I'm left with no DVD/BD software.

I'd like to get the previous version of the WinDVD software back (8.0-B20.185) can anyone help ???

Thanks,

Gary

Still no joy!

I've just come to upgrade a program and dvd player not working at all now..never mind just Blu-Ray.

Any ideas anyone?

Sony have you any ideas or are you just abandoning us?

Hello. I am currently having the same issues. It seems that the only way to fix this is to do full factory reset but I dont have the disk to do this. Does anyone know how else this can be done?

Tom_Rowe_86, a full factory reset won´t solve the problem. I did it and my Blu ray player still doesn´t work. It will only give u the trouble to make a back up copy of all your files and install everything again.

When u try the bd disc, if u r lucky the player scognises it, it will say u need to install the newest version, and then u´ll have the same problem again.

I´m still waiting for someone to help me.

Cheers mate. Let me know if you hear anything. Its driving me mad. I was going to send the laptop back, but I doubt they would be able to fix it so there isnt much point. At least I'm not the only one.. thought I was just being dumb or something.

Well blow me down with a feather. I was just reading through some forums and spmeone said to wipe the blu-ray lens. So I did. And it worked.
