This week I purchased a new computer running with Windows 7. I moved my existing LG Blu-Ray player to the new one. After that problems started. I installed the Super Multi Blue Install Disc that I got with the BD-player. When running PowerDVD the program states that PowerDVD does not work without an update. So I updated PowerDVD. Next problem: Although the system configuration states that I have 4 efforts left to change the Region Code, PowerDVD gives 0 efforts. So, the software player does not have any Region Code. And I never changed my region code. It should be B(2) for Europe.
To make things even stranger, the player does accept DVD´s, bot not Blu-Rays. The Blu-Rays I try to use are original ones. Not a single ripped BD.
Second effort was to install the trial version of PowerDVD. But exactly the same problem happens. Although Cyberlink states that PowerDVD 10 should work with Windows 7.
I scanned my pc for compatibility with PowerDVD and the result is that there should not be any problem.
I tried to find a solution and encountered several tricks to reset the region code-settings. But, there aren't any available for Windows 7, but just for XP and Vista.
Does anyone have a solution for this awkward problem? Not able to play Blu-Rays on your system while you don't use any pirated software is very very very frustrating.
