    Why can't I play Blu-rays with 185.20?

    PowerDVD tells me my drivers aren't compatible with BD playback. Is there a reason for this? It seems like the latest drivers would work.

    They aren't WHQL, either grab some drivers that are whql on your hardware (ie without modded inf) or google to find a workaround. I'm pretty sure some guys at laptopvideo2go found a way around this.

    Thanks. I'm trying the official nVidia drivers now.

    Official drivers worked just fine. I only hope I don't lose FPS in games now.

    Those 185.20 drivers seem to be pre-alpha. Unstable like crazy. You really shouldn't use that kind of stuff for a device driver. I stick with desktop WHQL releases, and get a modified INF of those (unless there is a serious issue with that particular driver in a particular game, then I'll move to a newer beta). Never gives me any serious errors. Right now, I'm on 182.06 and everything's cool.
