Cyberlink for BluRay download
Hello,
I have an XPS desktop. I am beyond warranty support. I have a bluray drive. I recently had a virus and reinstalled my OS on a brand new SSD. Everything works fine with drivers downloaded and loaded from disk, except BluRay playback, because those downloads are not free and Dell's third-party driver download website with no contact info is one of the least functional websites I've ever tried to use and when I do finally get in, has only Adobe PDF reader downloads, which are free anyway.
When I call support I am shuffled around because I have no warranty. Occasionally I get a tech who cares, but still doesn't know the answer and they do the same googling I have done and tell me things like 'you need a special bluray drive' or 'try VLC'
What I do have is a packing slip that says CyberLink Power DVD on it. After my HDD failure a few years ago, I requested hard copies of all standard software for my system. I still have those, but they do not include CyberLink.
I need a copy of a compatible version of CyberLink PowerDVD and while we are at it, Roxio as well. Here is the relevant information from the packing slip:
421-3844 CYBERLINK POWERDVD 9.5, BD
420-8154 Roxio Creator 10.2 Premium Blu-Ray
Thank you,
DCB

Hi DCB,
If I understand correctly you are referring to ‘My Dell Downloads’ when you say Dell’s 3rd party driver download website. If you have not tried ‘My Dell Downloads’, please refer to the link below: http://dell.to/16h2NK6
Please share the system model and the operating system.
Keep me posted with the information. I will be glad to assist further.

Hi Amogh,
Thank you for your attention. You're right I am referring to My Dell Downloads, which is here:
https://smartsource.dell.com/Web/Welcome.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fweb%2fmain.aspx
This site didn't function most of the times I tried it (using IE as it suggests), phone support could not comment on it, and when I finally got into it once, it only had old versions of Adobe Acrobat.
I would prefer any solution not involving this website. I would prefer software CDs/DVDs to anything else.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit on an XPS9100.
My Bluray drive in Bios is:
HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH30N ATA Device [Optical drive]
