Acer Arcade Deluxe Update

Jul 17, 2011  Acer Arcade Deluxe under Windows 7 I have an Acer 7720-6395 notebook with a T5250 Intel Core 2 Duo 1.5 GHz processor, and an NVIDIAGeForce 8400GM GS GPU. I thought that upgrading from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate would make this Acer notebook run more efficiently.

I thought that upgrading from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate would make this Acer notebook run more efficiently. However, as soon as I installed Windows 7 Ultimate, the Acer notebook would no longer play Blu-ray disks, because Window 7 disabled the Acer software Blu-ray player incorporated into Acer Arcade Deluxe; it will no longer run under Windows 7. Windows Media Center, in an Apple-like display of arrogance, will not play Blu-ray disks either. Only the Blu-ray player in Acer Arcade Deluxe will play Blu-ray disks with the hardware incorporated into the Acer Aspire 7720-6395. So, in effect, Windows 7 made my Acer laptop less capable. I've tried 3rd party Blu-ray player software, but they will not play Blu-ray disks with the Intel T5250 Core 2 Duo processor and the NVIDIA GeForce 8400GM GPU.

Acer, Microsoft, and NVIDIA have all been unhelpful in remedying this kneecapping by Windows 7.

Does anyone have any ideas as far as upgrading either the CPU or the GPU of the Acer 7720-6395 so that I can use 3rd party BD playing software?

If so, you will have been more helpful than Acer, Microsoft, or NVIDIA.
