ASUS X55C notebook I had windows 8.1 installed and my comp stop reading blue rays, so I called tech support. they told me to mail it in. they change my HDD cause a bad sector and installed normal windows 8 but changed my dvd/cd rom drive to matshita dvd ram. I use to have matshita dvd ram UJ8A0AS and it did play blue rays. now i'm calling back and they are trying to tell me that my model doesn't play BR's. that's the reason why I bought my computer. their call center verified all that. so can I add that driver to my device manager.
no its the same one DVD RW drive E. The player is the same DVD multi writeable, its by Panasonic or sony . when I would put in a disk it would ask me what I wanted to do. it would even burn BR's.

ok let me try that but remember its not the original HDD that came with my system, try it anyways...

OK I downloaded vso inspector but its reading the MATSHITA DVDRAM // that's why I was looking for the UJ8A0AS driver version that I use to have. I looked it up before all my problems and it plays even ASUS said but when I send it in its a different department.
no BD-ROM but I just called ASUS and they are escalating my problem because my system should play BR's its in there system. mean while he said I could look for software that recognizes blue rays. any sugestions on software like that..

Like I said above, many people use VLC Player. It is free and quite good. Personally, I like Media Player Home Cinema.
EDIT: Never mind on the Media Player Classic. It doesn't natively support bluray either. Takes a bunch of tweaking. VLC takes some tweaking too but not as much. I have CyberLink OEM which came with a bluray drive.
I just realized something. How did you have it working before if you weren't using any third party app? Something doesn't make sense unless your computer shipped with bluray software originally.
this is my VSO result. no third party app it was all done thru windows. now I have tried VLC and it tells me that E drive is empty only on BR's. so we are coming to the conclusion that my disk drive or cd drive might be damage. ASUS would replace it according to the rep. maybe that's my problem. i'll keep you informed. it will be Monday before they can escalate call. thanks and VIVA eightforums.com
Go to Device Manager and click on properties for the drive. There should be a Region tab you have to set for your country. You just haven't set it yet. Drives will normally only play one region, the one that is chosen. Kind of crap but how it is. There is hacked firmware for some drives that allow for playing any region DVDs.
well the device my dvd case looks the same, now when your talking about regions is that about time zone. what I notice is that I live in central time USA but when I choose it my clock is 2 hrs behind. do I do what visruth did for my VSO
