Problem playing DRM protected WMV's

[BillBrasky82]

I bought and downloaded some baseball games from mlb.com. I was trying to play them today and windows media player always gives an error right after it acquires the liscense its

"Windows Media Player encountered an unknown error. This can occur when another program or operating system component encounters a problem but does not communicate the nature of the problem to the Player."

no other program i have will play them and wmp always crashes with this error... other wmv and other file types play fine with no problems.

anybody have any ideas on how to fix this... im getting very annoyed

Thanks

Perhaps you need to download and install the WMP DRM update. It's worth a shot.
