    I just got a brand new 61" 1080p 120hz tv to hook up to my laptop, making my laptop the center of all my entertainment.

    Everything works fine (even typing this on the 61"), but when I try to play a BRay DVD using Intervideo WinDVD BD for Vaio, I am getting an error. "Create Overlay Failed. Please lower your screen resolution or color depth and try again."

    I'm begging for some help. I feel like I just wasted $3k on the TV and laptop!!

    Thanks!

    In addition, it appears the software and blue-ray will not even work when NOT connected to the HDTV. Same error...

    Any help? Thanks.
