DV avi not playable

I have three machines all with XP, all updates, media player 9 and latest
Direct X. Using the exact same file captured with a Sony NTSC D8.
Two machines will play the file in media player. One machine will not. Adobe
Premiere Pro and mediaplayerc ver. 6.4.7.4, (not Microsoft) can play the
file on any machine.

This problem is also preventing Adobe Audition, (formerly Cool Edit - sound
editing), from being able to insert the audio from video on this one
machine. It is an Intel P4 MB with 2.4GH CPU, 2GB memory and six hard
drives. Up to date bios and drivers.

I think this is a way that MS Direct Show is prioritizing. It may be trying
to read the file as a Type 2 when it is a type 1 dv avi. Can anyone offer
some suggestions and how to implement them? Is there a way to remove "video
for windows" so that Direct Show will be used?
