Batman Begins ar21s Xp playback!

Is it possible for ar21s xp to run newer blu-ray films such as Batman begins or Rambo cos after all the updates in vaio update i cant get it to even make the menu screen, older films such as casino royal work with a little bit sound issues???

Ok small update it says that the program has to close and then sends a report to microsoft!!!
Die hard 4.0 works perfect if i use optical out,but still no luck with batman begins has anyone got this film playing on ar21s running xp or is this not possible,with the dark knight a week away i would really like to know if it will work, i can play the films on my ps3 but only 1080i(old bravia)
Ive had vista installed before and iam not a fan so thats not an option!!!

Hi radiodead1974,

there was a long thread on this a while ago but unfortunately I do not know if a solution was found by Grandmaster Alpha, I ask Sony support for an update, in the meantime if you wish to read the thread then use the following link: Cannot play Batman Begins Blue Ray on VGN AR21S

Thanks for the response mate,read the other thread seems sony just wanted the cash to hell with long term users off there ar21s XP users,did have batman playing via vista,but just not a fan off vista...
seems my ps3 via my 1080i(only) will have to do for the dark knight!!!
thanks once again for the response

ok just an update to say that i downloaded the ar31s update aprox99meg and its fixed all the playback issues apart from the sound if you are playing just thru the laptop then the vocal is way down in the mix that you cant here anything almost...so proguess i can use my optical out, but a fix for the audio would be sound;)
Is there a seperate update for sonicstage or anything ???

:cool: At least the BD now plays..

Have you tried increasing the audio levels in both Win DVD and your Vaio sound settings.?
