[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1290928, member: 61193"] I tried installing the PowerDVD that came with the Player on XP in Parallels. Needless to say it didn't work as Parallels graphics driver isn't up to it. XP could see the external drive and read the disk, but I could not get PowerDVD to use the external drive. The option to change default drive was grayed out. Back to the new TV/Blu-Ray Player option unfortunately - with the option to play [U]some[/U] disks on my Mac, especially if I learn German or Spanish :) Edit - I tried dragging the external drive from Explorer onto the PowerDVD screen - then it reported that the graphics driver was not good enough - so that is a way to run a Blu-Ray disk, assuming your hardware is OK.
