...Vista and Windows Media Player...

Re: …Vista and Windows Media Player…

@dutch_paki

this should work:

1. Download the files npwmsdrm.dll, npdrmv2.dll and npdsplay.dll. ( Make sure your npdsplay.dll is version 3.0.2.629).

2. Copy those 3 files to two places:

• The Media Player directory, usually C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player
• The Firefox plugins directory, usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins

3. Restart Firefox and see if it’s working.

edit/ even found the files :hehe:

npwmsdrm.dll download missing file - DllDump

npdrmv2.dll download missing file - DllDump

npdsplay.dll download missing file - DllDump

Guys, we have a winner

I downloaded these files and copied them to both of the mentioned places. Restarted firefox, opened CNN video, it gave me a warning that’s the plugin is not recognized. Gave me 3 options: Continue to video, cancel, and upgrade.

I chose continue and it took me to the video. Then I closed it to see if it’ll gave me the same message again and I opened another video, it gave me no message and took me straight to the video.

HP Support idiot couldn’t help me but Gupshup (well, dutch sahab) did it :k:

Now, how exactly did you know that these are the files that you need and this is where they have to be? Just because you know it or did you research into this? Either way, Thank you

Flame I am glad to know I am not the only one. Do exactly what DP suggested and you’ll be good to go.

All systems have loop holes. Vista is no different. Features wise, I kinda like it. It’s annoying right now because a few things need to be installed before it can be run on auto-pilot.
