    Sony VGN AR21S
    XP Media centre 2005 SP3
    Nvidia Geforce Go 7600 GT 256Mb
    Core 2 2Ghx
    2GB ram

    I have just reloaded above to factory specs and done all the updates including the WIN DVD BD ones
    On trying to play Bluray dvds Win DVD BD starts and plays but the screen stays black although the sound plays
    If I put an ordinary DVD in it plays perfectly (Just watched Shaun the Sheep!)
    Anybody got any suggestions?
    Thanks, Boyd :twitchy:

    It's a DRM issue. Try updating your video card drivers.
