What is Invalid Pointer!!!!

It seems I am the only person on the whole internet that has this problem, this is the error message I get from Powerdvd Ultra 7.3 when I press play, of course I get no playback of Blu-ray titles, I have been googling system requierments, error mesages, compatability issues etc for over a week now, no one anywhere know's what this error message refers to, no one!! Also two BD advisor apps have pointed to my graphics drivers and display. . . . wtf?? Radeon HD 4870's and a Dell1080p 22" I Don't think so!!

Here's my Specs (this is a good PC!!) it should play BD titles!!

LGG GGC H20L BD multidrive.

2x Radeon HD4870. (run out of Xfire mode to run 3 screens)

Intel core2duo 3ghz.

Windoze XP Pro.

Dell 1080p 22" monitor.

The two BD titles I have chosen are Blade Runner Final Cut (US Region) and Blade Runner Final Cut (UK Region) also Predator (UK Version)

I'll also be running out of region changes soon

I fail to see why this system won't work, the drive has current firmware, the graphics cards support HDCP and have the latest drivers, as far as I can tell all my hardware is as good as I can get, I'm down something like £400 on Blu-ray products and over a week of SOLID stress trying to find out whats wrong.

I've tested EVERY BD software player I can find NONE of them will play BD's from on my system

Does ANYONE have any idea what might be wrong? I'd even appreciate simply a bit of morral support at this stage. . .

What does this mean, Invalid Pointer: Error Message 80004003?
