I have a fresh install of SP3 and the latest WMP11 on XP Home.
I get this error whenever I try to play any DRM file no matter from which provider:
All other types of video or audio files that aren't protected by DRM play without problem, so there is no problem with the audio device or ID3 headers as none of the DRM files I've tried are MP3s.http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...nalid=80070057
You've encountered error message C00D11B1 while using Windows Media Player. Original Error Message
80070057. One or more arguments are invalid.
From many hours of searching I find the error is returned for various problems. I have tried all the solutions and none of them resolves the problem. It can't be missing or conflicting codecs as all types of non-DRM files play without problem. The quartz.dll is registered and not corrupted. I have reinstalled WMP11 several times. I have reset the DRM with both the Microsoft and Netlix tools and individualized WMP11 using the several MS individualization sites and by force using the command line several times with each reinstall.
The last thing I've tried is use the resetDRM tool and not individualize and then installed Amazon Unbox for video purchases and rentals. I ran the included trouble shooter in Unbox and let it individualize WMP11, after which the trouble shooter reported no problems with my set-up. I downloaded a short free file from Amazon and although it will play in the Amazon unbox player, trying to play the file in WMP11 still returns the same error as before and so does trying to play any of the other DRM files I have.
So does anyone have a different solution or idea of what to check other than the usual suspects?
