HDCP error message

I recently posted a question about not getting all green lights in the dtv2pc advisor on my desktop pc. I have given up on the desktop and now am trying to get it to work on my laptop.
Laptop:
I got all green lights except network adapter (IEEE80211: Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi adapter and it was yellow (upgrade). Right below that I have another Network adapter Ethernet: Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller which is green.
I installed the program and it seemed to work. I can see my List of recorded programs and can select any of them. When I try to play, I get the following error message: “The video’s audio is protected and requires an audio driver with HDCP support; changing the audio output to analog might allow audio playback.”
Does anyone have any idea what this means and how I can fix it? I changed the audio output of the DVR from Dolby to analog and it didn’t help.
I’m kind of new at this and don’t quite know what they are talking about in the other posts on HDCP problems. They mention AVR (which I think is Audio Video Rcvr)

I can see my recorded “stuff” even when the DVR is on standby (off) and everything else is off, but still cannot play anything. (I think that would eliminate all my other equip.)
I still have the advisor installed on the laptop. Is that a problem?
