For anyone not aware of it, apparently the latest version (version 11) of Windows Media Player contains a program that prevents your computer from playing DVDs not only on WMP, but on other media programs as well. Apparently it's very hard to remove from your computer and it sounds like you really don't want to download it.
The warning post was over HERE
If anyone knows more about this and can verify it, please let me know. I'm afraid my computer will automatically update. *wibbles*
Damn you Microsoft!
ETA: Sounds like it may be a codec issue clicky
Oh and apparently it doesn't play songs purchased through itunes! This seems untrue, since PC Magazine goes on about how well it integrates itunes. clicky
Hmmm, This is interesting! O_o Some people found that changing the computer date fixed it??
Yet another person getting annoyed Might be a setup problem??
So from what Rinne and I could dig up, it looks like it might be system specific and only some people are having issues. Also, there's a distinct possibility that the problem is the program deleting codecs or drivers that other programs also use. Either way, it's probably not as bad as the original post suggested. Hmmm.
