Having problems playing Bluray Movies with Arcade Deluxe on my Acer Aspire 8943g - Please help!

Hi people,

I just reset my computer back to factory default settings and I'm having problems playing Bluray movies. After inserting my Bluray movie into the drive, I launch Acer Arcade Deluxe. It detects the Bluray, but when I try and play it, it says... "an important component of arcade movie requires periodic updates. new movies may not play back if the component is not updated now. would you like to update now?"

The options are either Yes or No. So, I clicked on Yes. Afterwhich, the screen flashes on and off, and then says the same error message. So, as it is, I can't play any Bluray movies! cry.gif

Is there anyone out there that has experienced this same problem? Any solutions or recommendations?

TIA,

grecinos

Save yourself some headache and invest in a commercial blu-ray player software. Acer Arcade depends on Cyberlink and they can't always get the appropriate updates to play Blu-Ray disks.

Keep an eye on the Free Stuffs in Windows Section, once in a while we get for free good commercial software

cheers ...

Do you mean the "Notebooks For Sale - Wanted" section? headscratch.gif

Thanks for the clarification! I ended up purchasing Power DVD 11 from Ebay. Some guy was selling a legit downloadable version for about $20. Everywhere else was selling Power DVD 12 for no less than $40. Although it isn't the latest version, it seems to be working perfectly fine! thumbup.gif
