PDVD9-ultra: won't play ANY disk!

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.

Make sure that hardware acceleration is disabled in PDVD9. I couldn't play any DVD's until I disabled this "feature". I hope this helps.

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.
