I did a fresh install of Windows XP and updated the drivers to my
graphics chipset to the latest version (Intel 82830M graphics
controller). I also installed the latest version of DirectX (9.0c?)
I also installed the Gabest Universal opensource DVD decoder
When I play a DVD I get the following error, I get the following
error.

Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem
with digital copy protection
between your DVD drive, decoder and video card. Try installing an
updated
driver for your Video card.

I would appreciate any advice to help fix this.
Thanks

I had same issue, tried reinstalling WMP 11 a couple times, updated graphic
card drivers, nothing worked. Finally figured out WMP 11 does not like other
software that plays dvd's so I uninstalled all other programs.

Finally works OK, now it freezes after playing a movie for more than 3
minutes, I have to reboot system to get to play, trouble is it will redo
after another 3 - 4 minutes.

Also had issue burning cd's, turns out it does not like Roxio's
"drag-to-disk" so I had to uninstall (I never used it any way) that program
also.

My opinion is that WMP 11 kind of sucks.

Did you try playing DVDs before upgrading to WMP 11?

It sure seems like WMP 11 is adding Vista-like DRM to XP machines.
