    Hey Guys,

    I did a fresh install of Vista64 Premium on my AR750E/B.. I also downloaded WinDVD 8 HD/BD Version.. DVD's play fine, but I can't for the life of me get BluRays to play anymore!!

    The name of the BluRay disc shows up under the drive labeled DVD/RW Drive D: in my computer, and i can open and browse the files that makeup the bluray disc in there, but when i hit play in winDVD, no dice.


    If anyone could help it would be SERIOUSLY appreciated!

    Thank you,

    Matt

    And you're using the latest video card driver for your notebook?

    Yep.. Latest version of DX as well..

    I have been doing a bunch of research and I guess the issue is that there are no available drivers for the DVD-RW / BR Player that is in my laptop - MATSH ITA BD-CMB UJ-20

    I called sony and they said they don't even have a recovery DVD they can sell for my laptop! lol

    This is pretty retarded.. How does sony release a laptop and not even have a recovery DVD available for it? and how are there no drivers available for this drive? Pretty ridiculous.
