Can't play region A BD movie on windvd 2010

[Beaves]

Did your Blue Ray player come with any software for playing Blue Ray Movies?
If not do a Google Search to see if there is any free or trial software.

Then see if it will work with alternative software.
What I am getting at is we need to narrow this down to see if it is a software or hardware issue.
1. Is it a fault with WinDVD
or
2. Is it a fault with the Blue Ray Player

yes it did and i just installed it all is working ok but its rather outdated and power dvd sucks is why i changed to windvd. so there you have it nothing wrong with my drive now i uninstall this crap power dvd as i hate it. now i have to go threw removing its leftover crap again. but oh well see its not my drive its something with windvd.

When you re-installed did you get this screen?

Only remaining thing I can suggest is to contact Corel support
