Soo... i've been enjoying Netflix's watch now feature for a while now. But when I tried starting it the other day, I was greeted with a DRM error C00D11E2. It wanted me to reset DRM. So I called Netflix customer support and the very helpful people advised me to go ahead and nuke my DRM settings. I read a little more about it and found out that doing so would remove permissions for any and all of my non-Netflix paid-for and downloaded content!
Sigh! so much for DRM done in-correctly. So, I went ahead and nuked it. And no effect. Still wouldn't run. I tried it in Admin mode and it ran. So I changed back to the Guest account I was using and no luck. Pretty soon, it dawned on me that this had to do with Privileges on the Guest account. So much for being able to do things! And it wasn't for the health / security of my machine either. I was very easily and without any problems able to "upgrade an Windows media player 11 component".
I guess I'll just create another power user account with enough privileges to allow netflix to play. Don't want to be admin all the time.
