RE: Security component upgrade button greyed out
emkolar
I hope this helps you. I had the same problem. I am running windows vista
and my upgrade box was grayed out also. I read somewhere that you have to
run internet explorer as the administrator. All you do is right click on
explorer and click run as administrator. Then go to the link. I just copied
and pasted the link and it worked. However, my bad luck, I still couldn't
get the licensing to work after the update. I am sooooooo frustrated with
the DRM/Vista/Media Player stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, Hope that helps

rife.....do a google search and you will see this is a huge problem. I heard
about someone that just downloaded some movies with bit torrent and there
wasn't any problems with DRM. I have been hammering away at this problem for
3 hours...there is no place to turn when you come up against this problem
other than bit torrent. F(&( Microsoft.
