I have a fresh install of SP3 and the latest WMP11 on XP Home.
I get this error whenever I try to play any DRM file no matter from
which provider:

You've encountered error message C00D11B1 while using Windows Media
Player.
Original Error Code Original Error Message
80070057 One or more arguments are invalid.
All other types of video or audio files that aren't protected by DRM
play without problem, so there is no problem with the audio device or
ID3 headers as none of the DRM files I've tried are MP3s.
From many hours of searching I find the error is returned for various
problems. I have tried all the solutions and none of them resolves the
problem. It can't be missing or conflicting codecs as all types of
non-DRM files play without problem. The quartz.dll is registered and
not corrupted. I have reinstalled WMP11 several times. I have reset
the DRM with both the Microsoft and Netlix tools and individualized
WMP11 using the several MS individualizaition sites and by force using
the command line several times with each reinstall.
The last thing I've tried is use the resetDRM tool and not
individualize and then installed Amazon Unbox for video purchases and
rentals. I ran the included trouble shooter in Unbox and let it
individualize WMP11, after which the trouble shooter reported no
problems with my set-up. I downloaded a short free file from Amazon
and although it will play in the Amazon unbox player, trying to play
the file in WMP11 still returns the same error as before and so does
trying to play any of the other DRM files I have.
So does anyone have a different solution or idea of what to check
other than the usual suspects?
