I have had MAJOR problems with my Dell XPS 1530's blu-ray player. I upgraded my windows Vista to Windows 7 and then my blu-rays would not play.
Dell's answer? The standard reformat the operating system. I took my laptop to Best Buy and it turned out that it was a video card driver that needed to be updated to Windows 7 version.
As a result, my Power DVD player worked fine....for 24 hours. It plays now, but it skips every second.
Sooooo...to answer your question, if you are having the same type problem that I had, you need to do to Dell drivers and downloads and upgrade your video driver.
DO NOT pay the 29.95 premium phone support to speak to India...it is a total waste of money and your time.
I hope this helps you
