Blu ray won't play!

I installed Windows 7 on my desktop, and now I can't play bluray movies using PowerDVD 9.

I played them easily when I had Vista installed, but now I get "video driver not compatible". I have updated my video card's drivers, but it still won't work.

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and I have an NVIDIA graphics card with HD capabilities. On Vista the blurays played perfectly with out problem. I have the exact same hardware makeup.

I haven't tried using Windows Media Player for my blu-rays. It doesn't work for media center, and I know that the WMP in Vista didn't play them... I'll try it though.

But Cyberlink says that it's compatible with Windows 7 too.

You think you updated your video driver but it didn't actually update. In device manager, does your display adapter show as standard vga?

Having a very similar problem with Sony VAIO VGX-TP20E. Upgraded to Windows 7 (32-bit), now the bundled WinDVD app won't play Blu-ray discs. Same goes for newer WinDVD 10 and Cyberlink PowerDVD 9. I either get an error message or nothing happens.

HELP!!!

Hi.

Install the latest driver from NVIDIA's website for the video card.

Had a same problem in another thread.
Since my costumer needed its laptop, i had to go-back to Vista 32 Ultimate, then install PowerDVD 9.
Worked like a cham, no problems.

But i found no solution for Windows 7.
It sounds strange to me that MS, Cyberlink and other companies are having such those problems with Blu-ray playng on the newest M$ OS, they should be supporting it.
Or it may be a kind of lock, like...if no online activation somehow, you can't play blu-ray.

I don't have a blu-ray drive on my computer and i don't plan to have one that soon (I'm very satisfied on downloading 720p movies/BR-Rip). But most newer laptops will have it, since its nice to offer the costumer a blu-ray drive.

Oh, btw: I couldn't install the latest driver "normally". Had to download a modded inf in order to install the driver. Also, i found around the web (forgot where) a way to install desktop drivers on laptops. Dunno if it would solve the problem.

Cyberlink PowerDVD has always worked perfect for me here on 7 since last year.

Here's the modded way for laptop drivers...

PowerDVD Ultra 9 is working fine for me.

Since installing my liteon bluray drive the other night and upgrading the powerDVD yesterday, tonite was my first go at it. I popped in the new Star Trek.

I remember asking sometime ago whether it would be wise to upgrade my HD2600XT because I heard it wouldn't support ALL the features of Windows 7 under bluray.

The only thing that happened was PowerDVD stopped for a second while Windows 7 switched to basic and a brief message came up that said my card would not support aero while playing bluray--exactly what I read. No huge deal--who needs aero when watching a movie---and as soon as I ejected the disc--Windows 7 reverted back to full featured without me having to do a thing. That's what I like--automatic pilot
