    For some reason I cannot play media in WMP11 that uses Digital Rights Management. I have proven that it is not my network as I can play the media directly on a Windows Vista laptop that I have. I've even created a new/fresh VM with Windows Ultimate and still no joy. Finally this must be a Parallels issue as I exported my VM to Fusion and it works perfectly. I've seen posts here going back almost 1 year related to WMP although they don't apply to my situation. Has anyone else noticed this problem? I was running 5580 and it wasn't working. Then I upgraded to 5600 and it still doesn’t work.

    Any help or workarounds would be appreciated.
