Now on the update its says my machine is not a sony maching and wont let me install a win dvd update this laptop has done my head since day one any clues to how i can get playback off blu ray again at least on my laptop thanks

You could try doing a system restore back to the point before it no longer worked and then it should hopefully work fine.

'Tis crazy but yes indeed you can clone monitors with any playback except BD (something to do with public performance restrictions). With a TV or projector the BD insists that the TV is the primary monitor. I feel this is caused by a conflict in the Nvidia control panel and Vista's display settings. Should you attempt playback without the Tv being the primary monitor a conflict occurs and playback can or will cease to such a degree as Matt says you will need to system, restore to re enable the stable settings. I have had to reformat to get BD working again so be careful.
