WMP cannot play the dvd because it is not able to activate the analog copy on the output display protection.

using windows 7 in my HP Pavilion a1110n desktop and cd plays end. When I put a dvd, it won't play. The reason he gives is that "it is not possible to activate the analog copy on the output display protection." He also told me to try the update driver for the video card. I went into the menu devices and he had to manually update the graphics card - but it just says that the more recent driver already installed! What makes things worse is that I can't just walk out of the old graphics card because it is integrated in the motherboard! Please, any ideas?

And... the free VLC Media Player may be useful to
a trial... it will play anything.
