Update Windows media player to 2.5.0.1 on Windows 7

I am trying to use the OverDrive Media console but I cannot upload books because it says the security on my windows media player is out of date.  I tried the upgrade tool that is built into OverDrive but nothing happened.  Then I tried the website everyone says to go to (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp) and that did nothing.  The button is not pushable.  I think it has something to do with Windows 7 that is causing the problem.  Any Ideas?

   Thanks

Hi Dsa2402,

a) Do you get any error message when you try to upload/download books?

Currently there is no security update for Windows Media Player.

Check if your Over Drive Media console is compatible for Windows 7. Click here

You may also try the following steps. This may not be a resolution but a possible workaround. ( only if you get the following "error code 0×80070057: The parameter is incorrect for OverDrive media console ” )

  1. Open “Control Panel”.
  2. Open “Folder Options” and select the “View” tab.
  3. Select “Show hidden files and folders”.
  4. UNCHECK “Hide protected operating system files”.
  5. In the warning message you receive, click “Yes”.
  6. Click “OK”.
  7. Close the Control Panel
  8. Click the Start button. In the “Start Search” box, paste the following:

C:\Users\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\DRM

  1. Delete ONLY the following 4 files:

blackbox.bin

drmstore.hds

v3ks.bla

v3ks.sec

  1. Close this window and open OverDrive Media Console.
  2. Go to “Tools > Windows Media Player Security Upgrade”.
  3. Once the upgrade is complete, try downloading a book.

If this does little help contact OverDrive : http://overdrive.com/contactus/

    Gzzz,,, so many unhelpful technical compexity... If you notice on Overdrive youll find an instruction "go to tools, Update" or press F1 for help. On F1 youll find this link:

    If you have trouble or receive a connection error while completing these steps, please check your Firewall or Internet Security software to confirm that both OverDrive Media Console and Windows Media Player can access the Internet. The security upgrade may also be run in Internet Explorer at the following page: http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite.

    on this link you`ll find and install the update in 15 seconds or less....

    This was GREAT.  After 5 hours finally a solution (and it made sense too boot).  Thank you for your posting.

    this is definitely worth doing FIRST before anything else.  It worked for me running Windows 7 Home Edition, Windows Media Player 11.
