I have a dell laptop with a NVS 140M graphics card. I have been able to playback HD DVDs and BluRays on my laptop before but now PowerDVD is reporting that it doesn't like my drivers. I am running the latest WHQL drivers from Dell's site which are listed as 6.14.11.7431 in Cyberlink Advisor. These same drivers worked last week. I re-installed them and still get the error.

I own Nero 8 Ultimate, but of course they charge you another 30 bucks for the ability to playback HDDVD and BluRay. Their requirements do not state that a specific driver is required for this.

Is there another software player that will play them back without bitching about the driver version.

The funny part here - I am a normal consumer and I am feeling screwed..... All I want to do is playback a video on my laptop. After shelling out over $600 for compatible drives, and another chunk of change for PowerDVD and Nero I am starting to think maybe I should sell it all and go completely to downloadables.

I installed AnyDVD HD a few weeks ago, but I don't want to shell out another chunk to do what should be enabled by default.

I'm having this exact same problem. Did you ever get this working?

Couple questions:

1.) Is this an Inspirion or a Latitude?
2.) Is this the Intel or nVidia video Chipset?

I'm trying to use PowerDVD v. 7.3.3319a for playback. I'm getting everything from massive dropped frames to blue screens.

I'll keep you posted if I have any success.

Can anyone else help here?

Same driver version - just showed green and started working.

I am running the intel chipset, but the nVidia graphics card.

I would love to know if the Nero Showtime with HD playback ignores the driver version - there is no mention of it on the nero site.
