The help seems useless to me
Did you try this;
To reset the DRM system, do the following:
Warning
This will delete all media usage rights and you will not be able to play any protected files until the new media usage rights are downloaded. Microsoft Recorded TV Shows (DVR-MS files), however, will be deleted and cannot be replaced.
1.
Verify that Windows is configured to show hidden files and protected operating system files.
If your computer is running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, you should also stop the Media Center receiver service by typing net stop ehrecvr at a command prompt.
2.
Open the Windows Media DRM folder. This folder is usually at C:\public\DRM.
If you cannot find the DRM folder, do the following:
1.
In Windows, click Start, and then click Run.
2.
In the Open text box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3.
In Registry Editor, click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DRM.
4.
Double-click the DataPath value. The path to the DRM folder is displayed in the right column.
3.
In the Windows Media DRM folder, select and delete all of the files, and then restart the computer.
4.
To download new media usage rights for a file, start the Player and play the file. The Player will contact the online store and attempt to download new rights.
If you want to download rights for a lot of files, you can also contact your online store to find out if the store provides the ability to restore or renew rights for all files that you have obtained from the store.
yes but the regestry entry for the DRM folder is empty, just got the default value
il show you
Make sure you've run all of the available Windows Media Player updates, including Windows Media Player 11. Then, go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919589 and follow the instructions to "install the security component upgrade". Follow them exactly - under Windows XP you need to use "run as" on iexplore.exe, enter the "Administrator" username and password (which you probably set up when you installed windows), then go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75378 to install the update.
No idea if you're having the same problem, but a friend's computer recently refused to play BBC iPlayer DRM content and this solved it.
