I installed the PowerDVD 8.0 update Lite-On.3228U_TaRe43_DVD090826-07.exe
It's still no good.
Error code 80040154 is Class not registered.

I installed the PowerDVD 8.0 BD edition on my laptop since I didn't need another DVD player on my desktop machine.
Surprise, I got the Blu-ray region with 5 changes on the laptop. But I don't even have a Blu-ray drive, just a DVD. I stuck a Blu-ray disc in the drive to be sure, but all it did was try to read it. It kept trying, but odviously couldn't.
So maybe it is the optical drives... so I disconnected them on the desktop and installed PowerDVD again. No good. The option for Blu-ray region is grayed out with 0 changes available.
Optical drives on the desktop:
Liteon iHOS104-06
LG HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22LP20
Windows Vista Home Basic (64-bit)
The laptop is HPG60-235DX Notebook PC with a Slimtype DVD A DS8A2L-A.
Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
Why does it allow Blu-ray region on a laptop without a Blu-ray drive, but not on a desktop with one? Very strange.

Well, no answer or support from Cyberlink...
I found a solution though... Corel WinDVD Pro 2010 can play Blu-ray discs just fine.
It won't play initially because I didn't have a display with HDCP (content protection sucks). I have Geforce GTX 295 with 2 DVI ports. I put a DVI to analog VGA adapter on the 2nd DVI port and hooked it up to the display (has both analog and DVI ports). Setup Windows Vista as having 2 displays, DVI as primary and analog VGA as secondary. I use the analog/digital button on the display to switch between digital and analog screen. I moved the WinDVD to the analog display and then it will let me play Blu-ray discs. I can drag apps to the analog screen so I can watch Blu-ray movies while working or browsing.

I bought a Lite-on iHOS104 Blu-ray drive and it came with PowerDVD 8.0 BD edition.
When I start up PowerDVD 8.0 and press play, Region code selection comes up. I select Region A and click OK and it comes back with error 80040154.
Changes remaining is 0 even though I've never set the region before, never been able to.
I read on the internet that Blu-ray region setting is stored by the media player. Is this true? Why am I having this problem?
