    Hi all,

    I am new to this forum. I just bought a new Sony VGN-FW270J/W from Best Buy. I love it except for one thing. I also bought a Blu-Ray disk "Wanted" but I am unable to play it. The WinDVD BD for Vaio seems to freeze and not really respond. I downloaded the updates from the Sony site and I haven't really loaded anything else on the computer... If there is anyone out there that can help me that would be appreciated!!

    Thanks,
    Pete

    Try other Blu-ray software like PowerDVD, I think you can download a trial of it.

    They don't offer trial version of PowerDVD Blu-ray. Only the DVD version is available for trial. Arcsoft used to offer one but they pulled it. WinDVD Blu-ray version is not available for trial either.
