WInDVD BD -upgrade wont load

[Irene-plecofan]

Hi, I have a newly purchased vaio notebook VGN-AR31S. 2 weeks old_but may have been in shop for a while?
it plays standard dvds ok, but when i tried to play a blu-ray movie it just whirred for a bit to spin the disk then stopped -nothing. repeated clicking on the play arrow but same behaviour.
went to vaio update 3, this showed a windvd update -great i thought. so i downloaded this but when i ran the install it started the install shield then said it could not apply the upgrade to this software!
the date on my windvd software is 2006 so i guess the pc was shipped with quite an old version (8.0 DXVA B08.63)and this upgrade wont accept it. how do i get an updated version of windvd BD please?

Hi pad,

Yes this is exactly the email they sent me today but still no luck

It said successfully installed but when i try and play a disc it asks for AACS Key update still and VAIO Update wants to install an aol update (WinDVD BD 8.0 - 8.0.9.670_2 07/01/2009 56.56 MB (EP0000171783)) and says it can't apply to my version so i don't have a clue what to do. I think this is probably the update that will sort out the AACS Key problem but i can't install it :smileythinking:

Mark.

Im I right in thinking your system was running XP an then you upgraded to Vista?? I've only hand this comp a few weeks and it came with vista ultimate already installed. I only ask as I know some people have had trouble getting media extender working with things like xbox's because of certificates. I'm no techy but could that be part of your particular probelm. Mine runs great now.....sorry!

No mine came with Vista Home Premium preinstalled so it can't be that


Thanks for the quick response anyway
