drm error when trying to view netflix movies

We have Vista ultimate 64 bit version. I try to watch movies instantly using
netflix.com and I always get the drm error message. I have tried following
all of the downloads they say to follow on netflix, but it still isn't
working. Does anyone know what I am missing to figure this one out? I tried
the Netflix tech support, but they didn't have much to offer. I am still
unable to watch instantly. Other dvds play fine if I have them in hand.

Hello

I have had the same problem for 3 months. I have read countless forum
and post on the issue with no resolve

It works fine on Vista Ult. 32-bit, just my 64-bit is having the issu
with DRM

When mine died last night and Netflix was no help, I started searchin
forums. no luck yet but I wanted to add that I am using vista 32 bi
running ATI hd 2400 v7.15 drivers. this had been working fine since da
one. watching netflix stream for months. tech support told me that i
wont usually run with the new a version and thought perhaps rolling bac
my driver would work. i think i'll try this first

This will force Windows Media Player to acquire a new license file

No problem still persits. Only way I get to watch is if I do it throug
an XP machine, X-Box 360 or a virtual PC on my vista 64 bit machine

You would have thought they would have gotten this fixed already

I ended up fixing mine. I did a system restore. I never tried any of th
other things I found. I thought, what the heck, just roll it back, an
I'll be darned if that didn't fix it
