You can use this guide . I have tested this method using windows 7 and it works well its a little hacky and not as clean a solution as buying slysoft but nothing beats free

After a couple of day testing and fiddling about with the setup, I found that I can play blu-ray discs but with serious (for me) limitations.
I finally got the sound an optical cable working, got the LCD to show something, and go dark when I shut the HTPC down, but I must continue with that, to make it show some useful stuff.
The main issue for me right now is the remote. I 'm still having some troubles with it.
I followed this guide and got the remote actions shown. However, some of the buttons don't give any response :

Some buttons do not output anything on Lirc. The missing buttons are :
Power,eject,app launcher,go,task switcher,timer,pictures

The main problem for me is that I cant seem to shutdown the HTPC with the remote, under windows I can without problems.

Am I missing something ?
