    DRM Problem/Reinstall wmp 11??

    Hello, i have trouble downloading my license on a streaming website. This is because the test video could not be played due to corrupted DRM files. The streaming website tech support advised me to reinstall windows media player, that is either wmp 9/10/11. However, reinstalling wmp was not successful since the wmp installed in my laptop is a higher version (11.0.6000.6336). I tried to uninstall first the wmp i have but i could not see it on my control panel>programs and features.
    Can anyone help me how to reinstall my wmp or uninstall my wmp so i can download the right wmp version to run streaming. Thanks in advance.

    You cannot reinstall Windows Media Player on Windows Vista as there is no
    standalone installer for it. It's simply installed with Windows Vista.

    You can certainly reset your DRM store without needing to reinstall Windows
    Media Player. Reinstalling Windows Media Player would not actually reset
    your DRM store, so the tech support is likely minorly confused here.
