Why do I get the following popup error every time I insert a blu-ray disc while media center is up and running? (or if I select PowerDVD from the Media Center menu) I'm running a clean install of Windows 7 x64 RTM. The machine was just installed today, and this is the only thing I installed right away to test. I just bought the Ultra version of PowerDVD 9. Hopefully it's an easy fix I can do, or an update can be fixed up soon?

I found a work around !

(if you read further seems to be related to Reaktek audio, someone has another registry fix)

"Anyway ... here's what you do. Let the application crash at least one time. Then, go into your temp folder
(C:\Users\{you}\AppData\Local\Temp)
and locate COMAP.EXE. Right-click on it and select properties. Switch to the Compatibility tab. Set the Compatibility to "Windows Vista". Seems to do the trick.

Note also that even if you delete the file, that compatibility setting will still apply when TMT creates the file again next time. So no worries about disk cleanup and whatnot."

Sweet ! Works great for me, perfect.

I let TGB know too
