Hi,
Yes this is a software problem. You can try reinstalling the Power DVD from HP Support and drivers:
CyberLink PowerDVD 10 (2D/3D) ►
If this doesnt work make sure you have run all HP updates from HP Support Assistant and also all windows updates. Running HP updates using HP Support assitant updates should work.
If none of these works then try this:
Error Code 80040256 Internal error
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
