    Has anyone managed to view Blue-Ray disks with the above combination ? Seems WMP needs a codec to play such disks.

    I've tried WinDVD BD extracted from the AW11Z recovery discs. It installs OK, loads the BD but never plays, just sits there doing nothing.

    Power DVD Ultra works OK.

    I haven't installed or tried WinDVD BD on the RC though, gave up on it. Do you have or want copies of the extracted apps from the recovery discs?

    Once again, thanks ! This Vaio is now fully functional under Windows 7 and is a joy to use.
