Stop using VGA to connect your PC to your TV, and start using HDMI, and your BluRay movies will work again.

Not necessarily, HDMI was chosen as a standard not because it is a robust video delivery standard, but because of HDCP, or High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Many video card drivers will not allow content to be sent to a non HDCP device.

Many older televisions and projectors do not do HDCP and will therefore not play newer content.

There are also HD projectors an televisions that do not have an HDMI connector at all.

Hollywood should not be dictating how our players, computers and TVs are built so they can control what you do with media you purchased/licensed.

I no longer own disc players, cd or dvd, or a single disc.

My collection is all digital and all absent HDCP.

Huh,VGA? I haven't used that in 10 years. I have only top-of-the-line latest hardware, software, upgrades and updates ......and CyberLink has a nasty habit of turning OFF bluray movie titles with every update they send down....and then claim I need to buy their latest version. To____with them and BluRay.
