    I just recieved my 5793 and I have an issue.
    Iron Man Blu-Ray won't play. I get a message stating that the color scheme has been changed to vista basic. The window to play the movie pops up I see "load" and "play" in the upper right corner, but the screen remains black and the movie counter remains at 00:00:00. Regular dvds play fine.

    My specs are as follows:
    Intel T9300
    4 GB Ram
    9800M GTS 7.15.11.7625 drivers
    PowerDVD 7.3
    Matshita BD-CMBUJ-120 6.0.6001.1800 drivers
    VIsta 64 Home Premuim SP1

    I searched on this forum and couldn't find anything. I checked the PowerDVD forums and saw that there are issues with 7.3 but only found patches for 7.1 and 7.2. Has anyone had similar issues with their Sager units? Thanks for all the help in assisting me with my purchase. I hope to write a review soon.

    Reinstallation of PowerDvd allows the Blu-Ray to play. As far as the color scheme message, I'll check at PowerDVD. Thanks.

    I had issues with iron man as well. PowerDVD basically sucks for blueray. It wont play anything if you update your drivers to something thats not digitally signed or WHQL approved.

    I ended up ditching PowerDVD and going for WinDVD. Has been working much better.
