"An operation failed due to a certification failure" in Windows Media Player ver. 9
It seems that since I started using Windows Media Player version 9,
that when I try to play certain mpeg movie clips, I get the following message: "An operation failed due to a certification failure" Is Microsoft engaged in some sort of "Copy Protection"? If so, what is the best work-around? TIA TIA TIA |

Is Microsoft engaged in some sort of "Copy Protection"? Yep, sure are. Only the beginning. Perhaps we'll even see the day when a system message pops up that says "XXX has been deducted automatically from your credit account for the privilege of viewing this copyrighted material" (oopsie, you opened TWO video windows? This is getting expensive...) or "Your purchased subsription licensed for the viewing of multimedia has expired, please go to www.microsoft.com/ante_up_suckah to renew" or maybe even "Your privileges have been denied due to lack of authorization or funds, Windows will shut down in 10 seconds, please call 1-900-M$0-WNZU to reactivate your Windows user status". If so, what is the best work-around? Using Media Player Classic? Finding a hacked copy of WMP minus the DRM? Voting against the bucksuckers who implemented this crap in the first place, by ballot or by dollar, however possible? TIA TIA TIA |

Use another mpeg movie player.
