I downloaded a Digital Copy that came with a dvd and chose Windows Media instead of iTunes for the first time ever. Regretting it now. It asked me to upgrade my player and I got an error message which sent me to get a component upgrade. The component upgrade was always unsuccessful for some mysterious reason (it gave no explanation). Now the button for the upgrade is greyed out and the error message on the media player has changed saying "A Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM) component encountered a problem. Contact Microsoft Product Support."
I have downloaded a 2012 codec pack, I have tweaked the registry (and set it back to rights when that didn't work), I've tried to convert the files, I've tried renaming the DRM file, etc. and nothing has worked. I just want to watch the Avengers. I have Windows 7 btw.
