I don't use IE but i tried it to see if i get it as well and i do, Thankfully i don't use IE

And just to add to this.

I am not brave enough to try it yet as i don't want to mess things up here, and also not sure if it works with an upgrade version of Windows 8.

I have misplaced my disc for my USB Samsung Blu-Ray player, and I cannot play BRs on the installed Cyberlink DVD player.

Until then can anybody recommend a free player that supports BR?

The 8.1 upgrade has been pulled apparently, due to it bricking some of MS's Surface tablet thingys
