Help 4When I try use Windows Media Player 11 to play a digital rights management (DRM)-protected media file...?

This is the information i have so far:



You cannot play back DRM-protected media or obtain new licenses

You cannot play back DRM-protected media files by using Windows Media Player 11 or obtain new licenses for content. Additionally, you may receive one of the following error messages:

The licenses for your media files are corrupted. (Error code 0xC00D2754)



Windows Media Player 11 cannot play the file because the associated license is either corrupted or not valid. (Error code 0xC00D11D6)



The license to play the packaged media is invalid



C00D277F - Secure storage protection error. Restore your licenses from a previous backup and try again



C00D277F - Secure storage protection error. Restore your licenses from a previous backup and try again

Cause

The DRM store on the computer is not valid or is damaged in some way. Potential causes for this problem include the following: 鈥?The processor was changed.

鈥?The motherboard was changed.

鈥?A BIOS setting was changed that affected hardware. (For example, you disabled hyperthreading.)

鈥?You moved the hard disk on which music was first downloaded from one computer to another.

鈥?An application, such as the RegClean utility, changed DRM settings in a way that caused corruption.

鈥?You performed a clean installation of the operating system.

This issue occurs because DRM systems, such as Windows Product Activation, maintain an internal hardware ID. This ID is based on the hardware configuration that existed when Windows was installed or when Windows Media Player 11 was installed. If you change the processor or other devices, the hardware ID in the DRM system does not match the new computer configuration. In this case, DRM determines that a user has tried to move protected content to another computer. This behavior can also occur if DRM detects that the DRM-protected storage in the registry has been changed to protect the integrity of the DRM licenses.

Resolution

To reset the DRM store, follow these steps:1. Exit Windows Media Player 11.

2. Find the DRM folder on the hard disk. By default, this folder is %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\DRM in Microsoft Windows XP.

3. Delete the contents of the folder.

4. Visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indi鈥?/a> (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indi鈥?/a>

5. Follow the instructions on the Web site to update the security component of Windows Media Player 11. This procedure should enable you to obtain new licenses for media. You should also be able to reset licenses for purchased content so that you can play that content on a computer.



Note You must contact any third-party stores from which you purchased music to reset the licenses for that music. If you have copied CDs to protected Windows Media Audio files, those CDs must be copied again.

if you have access to the original file, burn it to disc and copy it to your PC
