Vista - DVD player

I have a brand new HP Pavilion Media Center m8100n with DVD super multi
drive/CD writer. I can play my wedding dvd, but when I try to play
commercially purchased DVD's (either with Windows Media Player or Windows
Media Center) I get some message and am unable to watch.

Windows Media Player states: cannot play this DVD because there is a problem
with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card.
Try installing an updated driver for your video card. Windows Media Center
states: DVD may be in use by another application. If all other applications
are closed, the video resolution may need to be loweredor the display
connection type may not support playback of the DVD.

I contacted HP and a nice person tryied to help via internet connection.
They had me uninstal/reinstal Roxio and also send me to a site to get an
updated driver.

Neither made a difference.

Thanks in advanse.

Congratulations on your wedding. =)

What video card do you have? What specific video card driver version do you
have?
Do you have an nVidia card? They were shipping non-real-signed drivers for
a while, which is bad and could cause this problem. If you go to them/HP
for a video card driver update, does this then work?

I see version 169.25 on the nVidia site - does that work better?
