Just means that once you use VLC for viewing movies, whether a hard copy or download, you'll not want to use WMP for videos again, just for music.

Yup, that will work. You don't want to call Microsoft per se - you want to call the telephone activation number they will offer to you on the screen if your online activation fails. You will be put...

Any reason you wouldn't use the VLC player instead?
As best as I know, it's the most popular and diverse media player around, and it's free.

Save yourself some time and go with VLC. :nod: You may not want to consider WMP at all for anything but music thereafter.

You can not play a DVD out of the box in Windows 8. Microsoft didn't pay all the DVD and BluRay people their royalties to play their formats, lowering the upgrade cost to the consumer..
