CANNOT PLA Y SOME MEDIA FI LES - Because Dell MediaDirect provides access to media files outside the Windows XP environment, access to licensed content is restricted. Licensed content is digital content that has Digital Rights Management (DRM) applied to it. The Dell MediaDirect environment cannot verify the DRM restrictions, so the licensed files cannot be played. Licensed music and video files have a lock icon next to them. You can access licensed files in the Windows XP environment.
