Vista - Dreaded C00D11B1 and DRM

So, I did a search and found some newsgroup posts. None of which had any answers.

So, I thought I would just post one about it myself.

The situation:

• Been using Creative Sound Blaster Live! Audigy 2 ZS Gamer Edition sound card since I bought Vista.. been working good.
• Was bored one day so I decided to test out my onboard 8 channel sound to see if it was any better. It was, so I decided to use it and upgrade the drivers.
  • Motherboard: ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
  • Audio: SoundMAX 8 Channel Audio by Analog
• Before I turned on the onBoard Audio, I could play DRM just fine.
• After I turned it on, I could play it fine as well

The problem:
The problem happened when I installed driver updates. After I restarted, Vista decided to quit working.. so I uninstalled, restarted, still did not work. I reverted to a restore point, still does not work.

So, right now, I'm in a tough boat. Microsoft and all it's stupidity with DRM has messed up big time on this, and this is really pissing me off.

Note: I can play mp3's and non-DRM audio files, video's, etc just fine.

Thanks for ANY and ALL help.

I wanted to see the Netflix movie player work on my new Vista Ultimate x64 SP1/SLI 8800GTX. Got a DRM/C00D11B1.

A very capable and pleasent Netflix worked with me for a coupla hours to no avail. Finally it was sorry, good luck and good bye.

The difference between a septic tank and Vista? Septic tanks work.

Put your old sound card back in. Start up the computer and see if it automatically installs the drivers for it. My friend had close to the same situation and it solved the problem. He then went and tried the onboard and it worked, I have no idea why.

Just thought I would throw this out there.
