@RogerF:
You don't have a button for the configuration of PowerDVD (this is the UI button...)? And the Keys CTRL an C are not on your keyboard as well? Strange...
The hotfix will not make things worse, except if you really use online features such as BD Live. The Hoftix will delete all locally stored BD Live data, not less, but even not more.
It would be interesting to know if the hotfix helps on the new Version of Avatar. If someone is willing to try it, it would be nice to post the result here.
For the old version I wrote a simple batchfile for deleting the three mentioned folders and disabling the network adapter and a second batch for re-enabling the network. My network cable is behind a cupboard, that is not really handy...
Works fine, now I'm much more relaxed concerning the final solution...
If someone is interested in:
devcon disable PCI\VEN_10EC
rd "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\XXYY\Anwendungsdaten\CyberLink\PowerDVD8\LocalStorage\APDA" /s /q
rd "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\XXYY\Anwendungsdaten\CyberLink\PowerDVD8\LocalStorage\BPSA" /s /q
rd "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\XXYY\Anwendungsdaten\CyberLink\PowerDVD8\LocalStorage\BUDA" /s /q
Devcon is the console version of the Windows Device Manager (download it from Mirosoft via Google); the Parameter has to be modified, it can be found in the graphical device manager under the properties of the network adapter. The path to the three folders has to be modified too.
The re-enabling of the network adapter can simply be done with
devcon enable PCI\VEN_10EC (with modified parameter, of course)
