Hi,

Unless you have already done so, make sure to install the Chipset driver on the following link.

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52001-52500/sp52355.exe

After this installation has completed, restart the notebook.

HP now provides a version of Cyberlinks PowerDVD 10 which seems to be a better solution than MediaSmart ( also a Cyberlink program ).  Download the latest installer for this on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

When the download has completed, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select Uninstall - when this process has completed, restart the notebook again.

When windows  has reloaded, open your Downloads folder and double-click the installer for PowerDVD 10 to start the installation.  When this has completed, see if your Blu ray disc now plays OK.

Regards,

Hello my friend, first of all thanks for the quick response! I try to download PowerDVD the link you gave me! I noticed that you gave me the version of Power DVD 10 there is an updated version? (12). Thanks again

Hi,

You're welcome

There is a commercial version of PowerDVD 12, however this will require you to purchase the software after the trial period has expired.  The version on PowerDVD10 I linked to is customised for HP and is free ( no trial period )  - in my opinion, there's no real need to purchase the updated version unless it has extra options you require.
