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

Hello Xrayslim,

 

If I understand your issue, are you having a problem with the Cyberlink power dvd program playing Blu-ray movies?

 

Please respond when you get a chance.

Thanks

Xrayslim,

 

Just to remove some information or steps you have already attempted to try. Did you try any of the recommendations from Parvez_tech?  Earlier in this thread, he provided some good information to some other individuals that were helpful to them. If you have not tried them, give it a shot.
