Can't Play Video?!

[Al]

well... I "removed" wmp9 by going through the Add/Remove
windows components method. From what I've read, this
doesn't actually remove wmp9, but, luckily, it solved my
problems. I can now use wmp6.x to play videos.

Also, I did uninstall "Nemo" codec pack which I had
installed earlier. I'm not sure if this had anything to
do with the problem and solution or not. I've heard that
this codec pack among others are rife with bugginess and
hacks.
