I removed WMP 11 and its runtimes from Add/Remove and when I downloaded WMP10.exe from Old Version and ran it I get “This version of windows Media Technologies is incompatible with this version of Windows”, I am running Windows XP pro (Genuine).

I tried it again, reinstalled WMP 11, then removed it and its runtimes, then ran WMP10.exe and it worked, but now fu4wm13fix.exe gives me

Tried this and it works fine with some drm’d files others go through the same process but when played they are scrambled on screen. Is there a new version of drm for wmv for which fu4wmv13 doesnt work?

David says:

Why is everyone stealing the instructions a kid came up with? Why can’t people just link to his site and give him some credit instead of acting like its something they came up with? I know the kid who came up with this method of getting fair use 4 wm to work and he speant days figuring this out.

Here is the original set of instructions made by the KID!

TNR says:

Yeah, except in cases where you can’t just outright play the file and acquire a liscence, it doesn’t do anything. Like AOL video for instance. You have to use that stupid AOL hi-q player to get the liscence and play the content.

DRM Remover says:

As for errors with FairUse4wm, you can read about their meaning in the DRM removal forum
http://stream-recorder.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=25

FairUse4wm doesn’t work with the latest Windows updates that content providers force you to do. You can use other DRM removal ssoftware insted

So I can maybe save myself a couple of months more googling, is there ANY way of un-drm-ing a whole bunch of CD rips that a stupid friend allowed WM9 to rip with the DRM turned on? So now they won’t play on anything but his machine.

Or is M$ so good that nobody has managed to hose their insidious copy protection after all this time? In other words, they’ve won?

Please tell me it isn’t so.

Linda Thompson says:

The same thing happened to me.I legaly dowloaded
a lot of music and before I could put it on a cd
my computer crashed and burned but was able to save my music,BUT now they wont play because I am on a new puter.!I cant get the licence for any of them because they were downloaded on the other computer.!!
THIS SUCKS!I cant convert any of them either because they have to be able to play in WMP.
I feel like I am the one being CHEATED.!
