I’m having trouble installing a Pioneer Blu Ray Drive in my computer. My hardware is up to the requirements (see below) but my computer sees the drive as a regular CD/DVD according to drive properties in System Hardware. When I insert a disk a message pops up in WinDVD saying “this is a Region A disk, put it in a region A player” (Region A is a BD DVD Region). Because it’s seeing a DVD not a BD DVD device properties only shows dvd regions (1,2,3,4,5,6) in the Regions tab of the drive so I can’t change it to “Region A”. any help out there? I think there’s just no XP driver yet.

There are a couple of possiblities. Your computer may not be recognizing the new drivers yet, or you may need a DirectX10 capable graphics card. (Doubtful, but possible)
Your motherboard may not support it either.
I have only one suggestion, put your original CD/DVD drive in the first slot, and put the Blu-Ray drive in the second slot (similar to the Master-Slave hard drive layout of older motherboards).
If that doesn’t work, maybe your not playing it right. Maybe Windows Media Player doesn’t support Blu-Ray, or the resolutions it delivers. Maybe the drive is only compatible with the 64 bit version of XP.
Sorry I wasn’t much help, but this is the best I can offer :-.
Also, if you go to this website:http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3…
and pick your model, and look at the manual, it may offer solutions.
