    I've had CloneDVD installed on my PC for a few months, now, but only today have I actually used it. I copied some homemade DVDs (clearly not copyrighted---just family home movies).

    Now, neither of my DVD drives on this PC will play standard DVDs (using WMP11). I receive the following message: "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."

    Please note, DVD playback was flawless prior to using CloneDVD.

    do you have AnyDVD?

    It should take away any messages like that.

    I don't have AnyDVD. I considered buying it, but since I was only copying non-copyrighted DVDs I didn't think I needed it. It seems that CloneDVD has changed something as this was all working fine prior to using it. So, you think installing AnyDVD will restore my WMP's ability to play copyrighted DVDs.

    The error you are receiving normally appears on CloneDVD if it is run without AnyDVD.
    Have you tried running the disc in anything else? Like DivX player, media player classic, VLC......

    I prefer DivX Player over WMP gives a better quality image.
