I have just recently learned that Power DVD12 depends on WMP to be present on the hard drive.

Is this necessary just for DVD12 or does this apply to all versions of Power DVD eg. DVD8 and DVD10 ?

Cyberlink Michael, is this true, this may explain why I never could get any of Cyberlinks DVD products to work.

There was always some sort of jerky playback problem, I almost got it to the point where it would work, but I never was able to cure it.

I've answered my own question, it's not just power DVD, it's any Blu-ray playing software and probably any media.

If I disable WMP, Windows does not see the disc and neither does the Blu-ray player.

Even with out any Blu-ray playing software installed the title of the movie will show up in Windows in "Computer", but with WMP disabled there is no title.
