GeneandDonnea Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Mine is doing the same thing. Just installed a new ati video card and wondered if that might have caused it. Cannot find any definitive answers on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknis Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Mine is doing the same thing. Just installed a new ati video card and wondered if that might have caused it.

Intel i7 Processor @1.73GHz Well that got some of the answers asked for. Did it ever work properly? What are you trying to play? Some blu-ray discs do not allow you to use a mouse. Is that what you are trying to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajtaylor Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I went back and uninstalled Roxio Creator 2011 including Cineplayer. Deleted all directories related to program. Reinstled without installing any updates and it is working fine once again. Seems like the latest Cineplayer (March 2011) update is the problem.

Get used to it, doesn't look like it will ever quit with the BD format.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich86 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I see there is already another Cineplayer update (April, 2011 date) that is indicated as codes and BD+. So I'm wondering what this "critical" update was dated March, 2011 and if some erroneous code was fixed maybe? The sizes of the updates are identical.

Macielo Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 First of all, Hi everyone! Hope there is a solution for my problem. Here's the situation: First I was using Roxio Cineplayer to play bluray movies, then the software recommended an update. I choose the April 2011 update since it is more recent. After running the setup the Roxio Cineplayer just uninstalled itself! It didn't continue with a the update, so now I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. Have this happened to someone else? Thanks in advance! Operating System (including service packs): Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 Make: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Model: G73Sw Video card : nvidia GEFORCE GTX 460M Processor speed: i7 2Ghz RAM: 8 GB Free hard drive space: 14.2 I last did an operating system update on: Don't Remember, last week maybe.

Did you install it from the net or download it to your hard drive and run it from there? Did you reboot the PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macielo Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Did you install it from the net or download it to your hard drive and run it from there? Did you reboot the PC? Hi, thanks for the quick response, 1. Roxio Cineplayer was preinstalled on this laptop. 2. The update was downloaded automatically by Roxio software updater, after reboot it didn't run anything.

cdanteek Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 It is a OEM from Asus then. Your only option is to contact Asus. You never answered if you rebooted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so I wanted to share my results on this matter in case anyone else encounters the same situation as me: Diagnosis: Roxio Cineplayer updates but only removes previous installation and after reboot does nothing. Laptop: G73S series from ASUS, Win 7, i7 2.00 GHZ, 8 GB RAM. Solution:Download Sonic DVD software package from ASUS downloads official site. Thanks everyone!
