simply do not use Windows Media Player but any other program, like Winamp or
the Like and set this alternate program as the default player and your
Problem stops forever.
On my older ThinkPad T23 (16MB DirectX8 Card / Vista-Basic-Mode) the WMP11
even dares to tell me he cannot play DVDs - Every other Player does play
them perfectly smooth!
So forget this messy program - it's all about DRM-****.
On my XP Partition on the Notebook I reverted WMP11 back to WMP10, which
runs well ( and plays DVDs, too. )
Sad, this Thinkpad is full Vista-capable, just no Aero - I can live with
that, but that such simple functions like DVD playback now require a
Aero-compatible card is just silly and one reason for me not to buy the
Update to Vista-Business, but stick with XP Professional on it.
