    hey Slas, have you tried updating the Cyberlink PowerDVD software? There is an update available for the version that came with our laptops.

    Also, have you completed the 3D setup? it's the 'Enable 3D vision' shortcut in the start menu folder

    Hi
    yeah ive just done the update, the only way i could fix this issue was to roll back to 2.65 drivers the 2.74 drivers didn't like playback of blu-rays in 3d,
    lets hope cyberlink provide a patch for this issue

    Thanks
