Running wmp 11 on Windows Vista RC1 Build 5600 on a Media Center Pentium4.

Upon inserting a video DVD in the player a ran out of memory error code
C00D11C6 message pops up. <HELP> offers no real help for this.

Memory is 1GB and this error occurs after a cold reboot before starting any
other programs. Have not experienced memory problems previously. Task Manager
indicates more than 66% Physical memory available with remiang 33% attributed
to backgrouind programs.

WMP10 and previous versions did not bring on this error.

Help will be greatly appreciated, thanx
 
The issue is not with WMP, but with the MPEG-2 codecs that are needed for DVD
playback.

The reason for this behavior is that the "trial period" on MPEG-2 codecs
needed for MCE/DVD playback/burn has expired around 11/15/06 in Vista RC1 (I
assume you are running Vista RC1). Using Vista RC2 (or RTM if you can get a
handle on it) is the right solution for now. However, they also expire around
4th January '07. The codecs in final Vista release do not have such an
expiration.
