Answered WMP 11 "Debugger error" in Vista

    Windows Media Player 11 no longer plays DRM-protected content. I have recently been changing a few of Vista's services settings and I think that has caused the problem.

    The error message I get is: "Running this process under a debugger while using DRM content is not allowed." C00D2767. This comes up if I click to play any DRM track.

    I am not running any 'debugger,' nor have I loaded any software recently, so the problem is probably self-inflicted.

    Any ideas which service is responsible for the smooth running of DRM content?

    Thank you in advance to anyone who might know.

    Regards,

    Kyle.

    Although this error message is documented and returns as:

     

    NS_E_DRM_DEBUGGING_NOT_ALLOWED 0xC00D2767 Running this process under a debugger while using DRM content is not allowed.

     

    There is not any extended information as to the cause or resolution for the error.

     

    I recommend that you post this message where the Media Player experts answer questions. It's likely they will have more information and a possible fix. Here is a link, for your convenience.

    There is only a smattering of mentions of this problem and seeing as this thread now appears on Google I thought I would post the solution in case anyone needs it in future:
    Run MSCONFIG
Click the BOOT tab
Click ADVANCED OPTIONS
Uncheck DEBUG under DETECT HAL
Dismiss ADVANCED OPTIONS dialogue by clicking OK
Check MAKE ALL BOOT SETTINGS PERMANENT in MSCONFIG dialogue
Click APPLY
Click YES to warning dialogue
Dismiss MSCONFIG dialogue by clicking OK
RESTART (essential for new boot settings to take effect).
    The problem was self-inflicted as I had been in the boot settings to change the number of processors used during boot. After a restart, WMP11 was happy to play my Pink Floyd again.
