Nobody knows whether there will be any new updates or not.

since that update to WMP11 this no longer works...and for me personally i can't seem to remove it.

I've tried everything to remove WMP 11 but no luck...so i'm out of luck using fairuse4wm.

You may try a virtual machine (either VMWare or Microsoft Virtual PC). Just install Windows XP (assuming you have your Windows XP install/upgrade disc) on it and run the beta version of WMP 11 if your purchase requires it.

Alternatively you can:

• Make a fresh installation of Windows XP
• Use CademiaX hack to install Windows Media Player 10 on Windows Vista or XP

You can also try lossy DRM removal software like Soundtaxi

Virtual PC is like having a virtual computer. It runs on a virtual harddrive on your main harddrive. You can set up a shared folder to share files beween your main OS and the virtual one.

With Virtual PC you can run one or even multiple other operating systems from your Windows XP or Windows Vista. Here we're interested in running Windows XP that fullfills the requirements of Fairuse4wm as a virtual OS.

In this virtual OS you log in onto your media content provider's web-site and download DRM protected files. Then use Fairuse4wm to remove DRM protection and put the unDRMed files into shared folder. You will immediately get access to the DRM-free files from your main OS.

It's much easier compared to having one more copy of Windows XP on your PC, 'coz you don't have to reboot and boot under different OS each time you wanna use another OS. You just run Virtual PC or WM Ware, hit the play button on the virtual OS to run it. Then use it as long as you need, then stop it and you're again in the main OS. It's like a snap!

Just don't update your virtual Windows XP. Or at least make sure to apply updates selectively.

Hi,

FairUse4WM does not work on my laptop (Windows XP) provided by my company. When I doubleclick on the FairUse4WM.exe file, nothing happens but when I go check the processes in the Windows Task Manager, I see the a process "FairUse4WM.exe" that uses exactly 50% of the CPU. I never get a chance to see the window appear but the process stays until I end it by myself.

The laptop I have gets frequent updates from the IT department. FairUse4WM used to work 2 months ago on the same laptop.

- Has anyone experienced the same problem?
- Could the problem be caused by a security update introduced by Microsoft? a virus on my laptop? files missing needed to run FairUse4WM?

thanks

FairUse4WM doesn't work with Windows Media Player (WMP) v11.0.5497.6285 or higher. You should do selective updates to avoid updating your Windows Media Player.

Alternatively you may use other DRM removal software or install FairUse4WM onto Virtual PC / VMWare.

What kind of error did you have when trying to use Fairuse4WM?

This is what is installed on my laptop:

- Windows XP SP2 (+ many security updates done by the IT department)
- Windows Media Player version 10.00.00.3802
- IBX version 11.0.5497.6285
- DRM Client DLL 10.0.0.3802

The problem starts at the moment I want to launch "FairUse4MW.exe". I do not even get the first window (the one with the Recover Keys button). I see a process called "fairuse4wm.exe" being started when I look at the processes in Windows Task Manager but that process takes up 50% of the CPU. I have to end it myself because it never terminates.

How can I solve this problem?

thanks

Fairuse4wm doesn't work with IBX 11.0.5497.6285 and higher. However your error is very weird. You may try to remove Fairuse4wm and install one more time.

Dear Gods of streaming, etc.
I am in deep need of your help.

Though I have followed the instruction I got from unDRM.info: FairUse4WM for "FairUse4WM 1.3 fix downgrading Windows Media Player 11 Final to 11.0.5705.5043" to bring my IBX version down.
I did exactly, word by word written by the author.
Still the IBX version remains 11.0.6

My media player is version 9.
Help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much sirs.
