is no longer "completing"


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]... I have tried and tried, and tried again i get the loop and after saying it is "updating" it loops back to this image I paste below:[/FONT]



[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]How do you fix this problem?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Cause unless I fix this i will not be able to use WMC the way i have used it for the last 5 years.[/FONT]



[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]I would appreciate your contributions. If someone had encountered this same problem please share how you were able to fix it[/FONT]



[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Thank you kindly

Note:
Hope this thread is 'close enough' for me to post the PlayReady issue. If not I do apologize. Perusing the site did not find anything about PlayReady itself.

Attaching error message I found blocking my progress

Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\PlayReady and delete the mspr.hds file.

Then it will create a new file and you will be good to go.

Any more suggestions?
