    I own a Vaio NS-190J and I had this problem ever since I upgraded to Vista Ultimate from Home Premium. I've also upgraded to Windows 7 RC1 as well. I've tried downloading every BD playback program possible and it still doesn't read BD. DVD's/CD's burn/play fine btw. Is there any way to fix this or is this drive going to be a very expensive DVD drive to me?

    Also I have a problem with the keyboard. Whenever I am typing it likes to replace my cursor where ever it pleases it its very annoying. Any way to resolve that problem?

    Can you see the content of the disc with Windows Explorer?

    What is the firmware of the drive? The latest one is 1.7e.
    Roxio Easy Media Creator -> Tools -> Disc Information

    I have 1.75 as my firmware. Windows does recognize it as a BD-Rom drive, just when I put a Blu-Ray in it doesnt show up in explorer, and when I try to play it the disc tray auto ejects and asks me to put a disc in.
