Upgraded from 7300se to 8600gts, and now using a DVI connection instead of
VGA. Used to be able to play DVDs through Media Centre or WMP11, but now I
recieve the error C00D1163 - that "there is a problem with digital copy
protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card". I have the
newest nVidia drivers, newest soundcard drivers. Any ideas - I'm using Vista
Home Premium 32bit.

Oh and DVDs play fine through PowerDVD or VLC, but I want to be able to use
Media Centre because I have a remote - and also out of principal that I can't
fix it!
 
The newer video cards have Digital Copy Protection on the DVI outlets ..this
is new in VISTA
You now need a new LCD monitor with HDCP support..........or just continue
to use PowerDVD

But when I bought the new graphics card, it never mentioned that I would need
a new monitor to watch DVDs - I thought the HDCP was for HD video?

If it is the case, shouldn't the graphics card manufacturer have told me this?
 
Switch back to the VGA connection you won't loose any resolution detail and
you might not even notice if you have a minor degradation of color quality.
 
You can however use a DVI to VGA adaptor. If one did not come with the card
then you can buy one at Radio Shack.
