PowerDVD with Vista64 problem

[novicejr]

I had a setup on XP with PowerDVD working fine. I "upgraded" to Vista 64 with same hardware but now can't play Blu ray with PowerDVD 8 Ultra. Can open software, see Blu ray but when I click play, I see balloon from Vista changing resolution and turning off Aero, see a flicker and PowerDVD shuts off. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Actually, only change is hardware is new monitor (Dell 3007) and using dual DVI cable. Still using AnyDVD.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried updating the video card driver (official one) and the player http://www.cyberlink.com/multi/downl...s_1_en_US.html

Why do you need AnyDVD to play the movies?

Yes, both the driver for my Quadro 3450 and PowerDVD Ultra are the lastest version. I need anyDVD because of HDCP.

I am using dell driver for the 3007.

The actual disc was The Dark Knight (same disc played fine on XP).

Yes, it was a clean install of Vista64.

Install Cyberlink BD Advisor and see if you need to upgrade anything.

I did. Yellow grade for the Quadro 3450 (worked fine with XP) and red for digital connection so I have to use anyDVD (worked fine with XP).

Since it puts yellow grade for your video card, my guess the problem is your video driver. FYI your Quadro FX 3450 does not support all features of PureVideo HD. It does not support H.264 Decode Acceleration with IDCT and CAVLC/CABAC, VC-1/WMV Decode Acceleration with IDCT, MPEG-2 Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing, MPEG-2 Inverse Telecine. But it does support the rest of PureVideo HD features. http://www.nvidia.com/docs/CP/11036/...Comparison.pdf

Maybe a HDCP issue.

Official driver for the monitor?

What type of disc is it?

For a long time I couldn't play any BDs authored with BD Java. When I ended up upgrading my motherboard it started working with any BD. Odd, I know. Even the good folks at CyberLink were puzzled.

Was it a clean install for Vista x64?

I have PowerDVD installed to play Blu Ray and it came with my Blu Ray drive... I have Windows Vista 64 installed in my computer and Ive never had a problem playing blu ray movies on it. It even plays blu ray movies when I have it connected to my 40" Samsung 1080p via VGA connector. I am still waiting for the DVI to HDMI cable to take advantage of full HD quality. Didnt think the Blu ray movie would play because of HDCP thing but I guess it does.
