I have upgraded PowerDVD and it seems to play but no picture and sound. Here are my specs:

Pioneer BDC-S02BK Blu-Ray Combo Drive
Nvidia Geforce 8500Gt Graphics Card (HDCP Supported)
Gigabyte S-Series MB with Intel Duo Core 2 Processor
Samsung 500g HD
Windows XP Home

This is running to my Samsung 50" plasma ( HD Tuner). No other monitor. I also have an HDMI cable connected via DVI adaptor from Graphics Card to the TV. Here is what the config screen said when I tried to play X-men: Last Stand:

I am fairly new to all this so it's probably something I am not doing. Any help would be great.
