I have run the Windows XP video decoder checkup utility, and it says I have 2
qualified dvd decoders installed. (Windvd 5) and (Power dvd 6). Yet, when I
try to play a dvd movie (Any store-bought movie), I immediately get a window
that pops up saying there's a problem with digital copywrite protection.
I've clicked the more info. button, followed the links, and the only help
I've been able to get from Microsoft didn't fix the problem.
They say if I have a qualified decoder (And I do), then make sure its
configured (It is because I can watch movies on it), then try re-starting
your machine.
These suggestions have not solved the problem. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks

Jeff

jeff you need to run 3rd party software like DVD43 which is free from
microsoft catalog . if you want to spend money and also be able to copy
those nasty sony dvd's the you need a program called DVD & REGION FREE
this program is from dvd idle and it is so up to date that i was able
to make perfect copies of madagascar

Do you have your PC connected to a TV?
Can you play a home made dvd without any problem?
