I know that NVDA doesn't use a mirror driver, and that's why I decided to
try it with the movie. I thought that Media Player would be happier with
that configuration. I do intend to try some other DVD players with that
particular movie and JAWS 13 since I want to use the OCR feature on the menu
titles. Maybe other players won't complain about the copy protection.

Turn off JAWS. Since thwe mirror driver is on at that point, WMP thinks you
are trying to pirate the DVD and it doesn't let it self play it.

I also had a problem with Media Player 12 last Christmas when I tried to
play a movie that apparently had some type of copy protection. I got a
message from Media Player that said something to the effect that it could
not apply the protection to the output device and suggested that I update my
video driver. I switched from JFW to the NVDA screen reader, and the movie
played. I think the mirror driver used by JAWS for Windows 13 was
interfering with Media Player 12.

I and many many others on Win7 and stuck with wmp12 have such and other
problems with wmp12. so there is nothing wrong on your end, instead its
WMP12. If you go to your fave search engine and look up 'fix wmp12 error'
then you will find some good resources acknowledging the inherent wmp12
problems and offer you some suggestions to fix them.
However I can tell you to keep your hopes realistic as despite trying out
the diff tools and utilities and such that popped up doing the search, they
fixed my problem on one of my 2 win7 laptops. WMP12 on the other win7
laptop just refuses to get fixed. So you may be in or out of luck...you
need to try out the fixes you find on the web yourself and see if it works
for your computer.
good luck!

Hi folks
Using jaws 13, windows 7 and windows media player 12.
For some reason Windows Media player does not now want to play any streams
from the internet.
This happened after I tried to play a protected file on it. This is a
ripped cd on my hard drive which was ripped in wma lossless in protected
mode by mistake.
I got the usual message that a license was downloaded now and I could play
the file. However, when I closed media player and tried to play the file it
froze. After a time a message appeared saying something like a server that
could not be found.
Since then for some strange reason I am also unable to play streamed content
on windows media player from the internet.
All unprotected content however works fine.
Any advice?
Andre
