Hey all...
My several postings about not being able to get PowerDVD 9 Ultra to work *at all* (crashes, couldn't read any discs, etc) were, it turns out, caused by Comodo Firewall. I thought it *might* be that, and Googling it turned up this:

There's also this here:

So... my problems are solved. Sorry for all the grumbling - I was truly stumped!

I agree 100%. See here:

I also just discovered that PowerDVD 9 Ultra DIES when I click on the Video settings panel. I'm using a pretty standard, ATI 4870 card, standard Catalyst drivers. Shouldn't be a problem, but PowerDVD 9 Ultra just dies.
Bad, bad software written by what seems to be an incompetent company.

Power DVD 9 Ultra doesn't work at all for me; examples:
1. Never starts when I start it the 1st time; must be started twice for it to start
2. Doesn't play ANY disk on ANY of the 3 drives I have in my quite modern computer
3. If I bring up the settings window and click on "Video", it dies completely
I'm a software developer, and also have spent a lot of time dealing with media playing software, and have never seen anything so bad. I asked for a refund, and they gave me a list of detailed instructions to clean out my registry and reinstall (a shame their own uninstaller doesn't do a good enough job, huh?); didn't help, asked for a refund AGAIN. Hope they are honorable and give me my money back.

Well, I can't even do that - just tried it right now, and it doesn't appear to like my pretty common ATI 4870 video hardware; I clicked on the "Video" tab in PowerDVD, and it just died, no message or anything.

Hi all...
I have Power DVD 9 Ultra installed on my very capable desktop, with a well-supported ATI graphics card and Blu-Ray drive in it, as well as a separate plain DVD drive. PowerDVD 7 Ultra could play both DVDs and Blu-Rays fine.
Now that I've installed PowerDVD9 Ultra, however, all I get whenever I put a Blu-Ray in is "No Disk In Drive" whenever I try to play it. And when I put in a regular DVD to either drive, and select it with the drive selection dropdown in PowerDVD, PowerDVD *refuses* to select it. It keeps the "Open media files" option checked, and will not play any disk.
Anyone else having this problem? This is pretty putrid; the drives are being accessed - drive lights on, etc, and other software (eg. VLC, etc.) will play DVDs with no problem.
This is with the very latest patch, etc.
