Merv Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I have both EMC 7.5 (not EMC 7) and EMC 9 running on the same computer. I am running IE6 and WMP 9. Both 7.5 and 9 run fine. Ditto. But I also get a Windows message every now and then that wants me to update WMP to the latest version, but I simply decline and EMC9 works fine.

I was wondring just what the "other two" components that are added are really doing. And basically I am just pretty leary of any of MS's updates etc. I guess if my computers keep running as well as they are, I'll stick with the old addage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Frank...

gi7omy Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I wonder just what 'improving the robustness of the DRM' means. I'm guessing it clamps down even harder on what they will let you do (enforcing DRM even more 'robustly') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
