DRM - Can't play HBO on MCE2005 Rollup2

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

Hello,

I recently had to reinstall Windows XP & MCE2005 on my Dell machine and I am
now running into the DRM 'blue screen' - restricted content' whenever I try
to watch HBO. Before I wiped my machine clean, I was able to record HBO and
watch it on my LinkSys Extender. I cannot say exactly what version of MCE I
was running, but I believe it was rollup2 since I also have an xbox360 as an
extender. But since I wiped my machine clean -- I cannot watch any HBO
content on my Linksys Extender. This is frustrating, since I never had any
problems before! I checked many sites and found several suggestions, which
I've tried to no avail...

Here are the details of my setup:

MCE -- version 5.1.2715.3011 with update rollup2
Windows Media Player v11
Installed KB910393
Installed KB913800
I upgraded the Media Player's security components

I checked the 'Media Rights Tab' in WMP and the HBO files are not copy
protected.

I read KB891664 and I suspect that maybe I am missing the DRM files. Here
is a clip of the migration log...

DRMMigration: MigrateIndiv: Indiving Lock Acquired
DRMMigration: MigrateIndiv: MaxExistingIndex = 1
DRMMigration: MigrateIndiv: Index 1: Begin

DRMMigration: MigrateIndiv: Ending with error code 0x0
DRMMigration: DRMMIGRATION: Starting V1 license migration.

DRMMigration: DRMMIGRATION: Migating licenses in C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\DRM\DRMv10.lic.

DRMMigration: DRMMIGRATION: File C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\DRM\DRMv10.lic doesn't exist.

DRMMigration: DRMMIGRATION: Done migating licenses from C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\DRM\DRMv10.lic.

Does Anyone have any suggestions for this? I used to be a huge MCE fan, but
it is losing its luster for me and I am considering moving to the cable
company's DVR. I don't want to give up just yet, since I remember MCE2005
before the dreaded blue screen -- and it was wonderful :)

I appreciate your help,
Gloria
