    I bought an FZ38M a few years back, and installed Windows 7 Professional x64 yesterday in a seperate partition (I'd got rid of the recovery partition back in the Win7 beta because I'm an idiot). I've since tried installing WinDVD BD for Vaio in several ways:
    Downloading it from the Sony site (it turned out to be an update)
    Getting that version of it someone put on Rapidshare (the one time RS let me download it it corrupted)
    Copying and pasting the original files and registry entries from my Vista 32bit partition (it didn't work)

    Is there any other way anyone can think of to get this program onto my current installation? I really don't want to boot into Vista to watch Blu-Rays - not only does it stop me from doing other things that I've got on my 7 installation, but it runs REALLY slowly.

    Thanks in advance :)

    You'll find a link to it in my x64 drivers thread. It's been extracted to bypass the model check.
