    I got my MSI Force 16F2 laptop from XoticPC last Friday. It came with a Blu-ray drive and I installed the Cinema Pro II software on my laptop after installing Windows 7 and all the drivers. However, the software doesn't appear to be completely installing, since afterwards it will put an icon for Cinema Pro II on the desktop but double-clicking does nothing at all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it twice but no luck. It seems like the installation will show a progress bar for about 2 seconds, and then just blaze right through it like it didn't finish, but it still says that installation was complete and I restart after doing that. The program shows up in Program Files, but there's hardly any files in the folder along with it which leads me to believe that it's not completely installing. Also, I have disabled user account control and tried running as admin several times. Lastly, the process for Cinema Pro II DOES show up in task manager under processes, but I see no evidence that it's actually doing anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Its no a blu ray movie player if thats what you think it is. You need to get Power DVD or such app to play movies. I purchased a LG extrenal Blu ray player to get the free Power DVD software. Instead of buying it online, I bought the external player and it came with the software free so its like getting a free external player.

    The Cinema Pro software is activated by a key press, i am pretty sure none of the keys or quicklaunch buttons are mapped to the software. Cinema Pro should not be supported on the MS-16F2 Barebone.

    Thanks guys, I emailed XoticPC and they hadn't sent blu-ray software with it so that's being sent now. I thought that the Cinema Pro was the blu-ray software lol.
