Netflix hangs - doesnt play movie / DRM issue? VMC 32bit

Has anyone had a problem with Netflix watch now? I'm really not sure what happened but when I try and watch movies via Netflix in MC it just hangs on a red screen with the netflix logo in the middle without doing anything else. I can browse all the movies etc and the queue but nothing will play. However, it will play in a browser.

I think it may be a security issue because my DCT and other tuners stopped working due to copyright issues at the same time. I can set the tuners up again in VMC and they work fine but no go with Netflix.

I had an ATI update go massively wrong, had the netflix entry point disappear but have gotten it all working since (except the netflix watch instantly).

Other things I have noticed.
When I try to watch the set up videos in VMC it crashes.
When I try to adjust the display settings in VMC it crashes.
I've run mcupdate -u from command prompt (as admin) it never finishes.

Changes that were made:
New ATI driver, tried rolling back - no good.
Installed MyMovies3.
Installed new vista codec package. The Shark007 latest.

Not really sure where to start trouble shooting. I've reinstalled silverlight several times, turned off UAC and windows defender, check regoinal settings, and reinstalled the netflix plugin.

Any suggestions? (Even if it's buy windows 7 and install that )

Thanks in advance!

Hrm... we might be stuck waiting for a silverlight upgrade or something.

ATI just had an update go through with windows update and now it works fine. I'll see if I can get the update and driver information and post it here.

I think it might be. After netflix started working I had to re-setup the tuners and it's not detecting my DCT now lol.

It may have been a combonation of both. I'm going to look at the update history now.
