CyberlinkePowerDVD 9.6 software won't play Blu-Ray discs
I purchased a Dell laptop in November 2011 that came preloaded with CyberlinkPowerDVD 9.6 software for the Blu-Ray Disc Player. Over the last month a couple of Blu-Ray's did not play in the laptop, but did play in my stand alone Blu-Ray player. I thought the software needed some new codes, but when I went to the cyberlink website they don't even acknowledge having a version 9.6. The only updates are list for version 9 Deluxe or 9.5.
My laptop is still under warranty. How can I get a version of software with the current codes to play the newest Blu-Ray discs?

Hi,
Do you have a disc to re-install PowerDVD 9.6 software? If yes, please follow the below given steps:
1. Uninstall Cyberlink PowerDVD from Programs and Features and restart the system.
2. Install it again using the disc and restart the system.
3. Do not insert any blu-ray disc, but open Cyberlink PowerDVD software.
4. Click Online update. It will be connect to the Cyberlink website and install a patch file.
5. Restart the system again and check if PowerDVD can play blu-ray discs.
If the system was not shipped with the PowerDVD 9.6 software, it can be downloaded from the My Dell Downloads application.

I cannot register at My Dell Downloads. I put the check in the box and a green button appears to register the system. I click the green button. The button disappears and nothing happens. The screen doesn't change and I'm not registered.
Why can't I register? I am on the Dell laptop I purchased less than a year ago, and the website doesn't recognize it and register me?

The problem was Dell Downloads only works with Internet Explorer even though there isn't a statement to that effect on the page that I saw.

I've uninstalled, restarted, opened cyberlink through all programs and it opened. There is no "online update" to click on. There are plenty of option to upgrade to 12.0 but nothing for online update. I went directly to the cyberlink website and it says they terminated support for 9.6.

@ endlessusernames I've just received my Insipron 15R SE which included PowerDVD 9.6, plus i had to wait several days for delivery as i wanted a BluRay player.
I placed Avatar Blu Ray Disc into drive and P/DVD started up but then it stopped responding, closed it down and noticed it was offering download update. I accepted and update patch was download (via Firefox). Restarted P/DVD and inserted Avatar, it loaded file upto 99% then stopped responding...... I closed it down again and opened drive, started P/DVD then pushed drive slot closed with Avatar in it. P/DVD now responded by saying it didn't recognise this type of disc ????
I then tried a Blu Ray version of Mission Impossible and this worked immediately.
I do know that numerous Blu Ray players have been having problems playing Avatar and companies had to update firmwares. Is this the problem with P/DVD 9.6 ????? I don't know
