Sony BDV-T11 Blu-ray Disc/DVD Home Theater System

I bought a new laptop last week. Sony vaio vgn fw11s (if this helps!)
It has a blu ray disc drive but I bought a blu ray disc today and it doesnt play it. It plays blu ray via intervideo WinDVD. The screen just says it needs an update to play the disc.
I’ve updated blu ray via vaio updates and it still doesn’t work. What can I try next?
Thank you.

I’m looking to get a home theater system for Christmas.
Money is a concern and I’m trying to get the most bang for my buck.
I’ve been doing some research on blu ray players, and I’ve discovered that there are many different types of audio codecs out there.
The one that intrigues me the most is LPCM which is uncompressed and lossless (correct me if I’m wrong). My questions are:
1. Do all blu ray movies come with LPCM soundtracks?
2. Do all blu ray players support/output LPCM?
3. If I get a player that outputs LPCM what do I need out of a receiver to not lose any sound quality?
4. Do I need to worry about any of the other codecs if I just use LPCM?
5. Are there any other issues I should be concerned about?
This is what I’m thinking about getting:
Sony Blu-ray Disc Player (BDPS350)
Yamaha 7.2 Channel HDMI Home Theatre Receiver (HTR-6160)
Harman Kardon 5.1 Home Theatre Speaker System (HKTS11)
and any 46″ LCD TV maybe an Aquos or Series 5 (they’re pretty well priced these days)
