Please help me.

I have had a really hard time getting my computer to play blu-ray/hd-dvd. Here are my system specs:

Intel Core 2 6700 @ 2.66GHz
4 gigs of ram

Video Card 1 (set to primary): Nvidia 8800 GTX w/768mb
-HP LP3065 30" LCD (dual link dvi, HDCP compatible 2560x1600)

Video Card 2: Nvidia 8800 GTX w/768
-La Cie 20" LCD (non-HDCP -- I only use this monitor for still images)

Nvidia Video Drivers ver. 169.21
(and to be perfectly clear, I have 2 video cards, each powering 1 monitor)
I've tried both Single-Display Performance and Multi-Display Performance modes. I don't really know which is the correct to use since each video card has its own display.

Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Drive: LG GGC-H20L "Super Multi Blue"

Windows XP Professional w/latest service pack and up-to-date from windows update

Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra 7.3


Here is what happens: If my 30" monitor is set to native 2560x1600 resolution, then PowerDVD says it fails to initialize HDCP. The Cyberlink advisor utility says my display is not HDCP compliant and won't play hd-dvd or blu-ray. I also downloaded the intervideo WinDVD advisor, and it says my digital display isn't HDCP *AND* my processor isn't the right kind (then it goes on to say it recommends a 6700 @ 2.66ghz, which i find funny).

If I lower my resolution to 1280x800, then Cyberlink advisor and the program don't report any problems, but my Blu-Ray disc won't play and the program will quickly lock-up while showing just a black screen where video should be.


Please help me. I spent 2 hours on the phone with dell, who blamed HP. I spent 2 hours with HP, who blamed dell. Then I spent quite a few emails back-and-forth with Cyberlink, and they said tough luck.


Thank you for any assistance.
