Appreciate your response, The Toshiba P770 is near new and a topline laptop with all the Bells & Whistles.
I have previously been able to play Blu-Ray!, that is until I installed the Windows8 Beta which I found very very disapointing and reinstalled Windows 7 which is much better, however my computer now has an inferiority complex and is cuasing me a few problems which I'm trying to fix.
