Apparently, when I click on a NEWLY added album (like under "newly added releases") I am asked to download the WMP "security upgrade" which of course is the "new" backwards numbered IBX.
BUT with WMP10 the new IBX RESIDES SIDE-BY-SIDE with the old one. So songs that I dowloaded before the upgrade can be UN-DRMed using Fairuse4WM, but the the songs downloaded after the upgrade do not work. This is different from having WMP11 installed since it upgrades with the only IBX avilable for WMP11.
Welll...does anybody else have such an experience? Two IBxs living side by side...or am I only dreaming  Thsi is getting painful!!!!!! I wish i could do some basic programming....!!! My hats of to the guys who got us this far! |
NEW "LOWER NUMBER" IBX ver 11.6000.6324 NOW WORKS WITH WMP10...NOTE: PLAYER ver 10.
I can cofirm that the latest 'backwards' numbered IBX 11.6000.6324 can be got working with WMP 10. It works fine with my music downloads - I do not want to provide the provider name; no reason to give them a heads up!! PLEASE UR MILEAGE MAY VARY...but I think they all should work...
I am wrioting this from memory so please excuse any mistakes...!!!!
OH yeah, Real palyer may make things difficult!! But you can try. I removed it.
1. To do a real rollback one needs to remove EVERYTHING connected to WMP 11. If you had the latest WMP 11 then this step is even more crucial since WMP 11 in the early forms was a souped upreskinned version of WMP 10; thus although you see WMP10 you have components from the latest WMP 11 still hanging around.
2. This requires one to disable system file checking, which will automatically return components you remove back to their places. If you dont beleive me try deleting a system file, and see it pop back again in the folder!!! To turn off syetem file checking i used Windows File Protection Switcher got here
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail...r/1106499902/1.
3. Now rollback WMP 11. Once finished do not restart.
4. Remove WMP 11 runtime...many forget to remove the runtime!!
5. Now travel to \windows\system32. Delete ALL entries BEGINNING with "WMP". BE CAREFUL THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE, AND MAKE SURE THE FIRST THREE LETTERS ARE "
WMP" not just 'wm" or stuff like that. Wait for a few seconds and make sure that these files do not pop up back...If the folder is open, the files pop back at the end of the list of files.
6. DELETE YOUR DRM FOLDER \documents and settings\all users\DRM or the like ...check this forum for correct location. YOU WILL LOSE UR LICENSES TO ALL MUSIC FILES.....So if you want you can backup your DRM folder.
7. Now restart.
8. Download the WMP 10 player ..>VER 10 (TEN)...from MSoft or from here
http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=wmp. If not just do a search and you'll find tons of sites.
9. Install WMP 10. Now indvidualize your player by going to here
http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/...it.asp?force=1. If you check your IndivKey version it should be 11.5xxx.xxxx.
10. NOW RUN FAIRUSE4WM and extract your keys.
11. NOW open your music provider site/program and upgrade the DRM keys as they need. With my provider the upgrade to 11.6000.6324 STILL WORKS.
GOOD LUCK guys; please read other posts also and try to adapt to your condition...
