It would take at least a half hour to get any blu- ray disc to run. rebooting - shutting anti virus and fire wall - rebooting - rebooting - kept trying different things and keep rebooting. Nothing ever worked the same twice.

Once it would start playing - it would play fine.

common to most bad starts -- the "advertising" boxes (java, cprm, dolby etc.) would not appear. Program hangs and becomes unresponsive to mouse or keyboard. The only way to shut down is through task manager processes.

Tonight - after over a half hour of trying to get it to play (Bourne Ultimatum - blu-ray) I gave up and rolled back to version 2408. The disc loaded and played fine.

Have not tried reloading 2608 - really running out of patience with PowerDVD -- the version that ran the best was the one that came with the blu-ray drive (think it was 6 or 7 with blu-ray enabled -- and even that was quirky -- upgraded to 11 Ultimate in the hopes that the quirks would disappear and new fox blu-rays would play. fox blu-rays still don't play and performance gets worse with each patch. Only interested in playing blu-rays and regular DVDs -- all other features (photos, music, devices) are of no interest to me.
