I have downloaded a bunch of wmv's from kazaa for the Dave chapelle show and a few other things. Anyways when I go to open them through windows media player, on the bottom it says, opening file then changes to I think it says aquiring liscence and then I get window that says file server error with every wmv I have. I have the latest media player version 9 and also 10(beta). I have downloaded all the codec updates and have even gone to divx.com and got the divx player and the codec packages as well. The wmv's also dont work in the divx player, it says error opening file or something like that. Anyone know how i can play these?

Symptom(s):
After exporting a movie in WMV format, you cannot play it.
Cause:
WMV files may not work with some versions of Windows* Media Player and the Windows* operating system.
Solution:
To update the files needed to play a WMV file, try this:
Open your Internet connection
Start Windows Media Player: click Start >Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Windows Media Player.
Open the WMV file in Windows Media Player. The required files are updated automatically.
Edit- That advice looks a bit shite to me, though.

It sounds like they're all copy protected files which require you to pay a fee to aquire a license in order to view them. As far as I know there's no way to crack them (well there are ways around it, but it's probably more trouble than they're worth). Just out of curiosity did you get them all from the same source? Have you tried Bittorrent/Suprnova?
