Music files seem to play OK, but not videos that used to play perfectly fine.
When I pause an MPG, the video pauses but audio continues and Media Player
locks up (says "Not Responding"). If I don't pause the MPG, when it reaches
the end Media Player locks up anyway ("Not Responding").

FYI: Windows XP and other MS software are updated automatically. I doubt
there are any software conflicts and I haven't installed new software
recently. I did 2 new things recently inside Media Player that may have
altered how Media Player functions. First, I played a video at slow speed.
Second, I downloaded song files for the first time in many months.
