Default WMP 10 crashes on any wmv file

WinXP Home SP2

WMP 10 plays all formats except windows media (wmv and wma). It crashes on
WM files with the "send error report" window. This just started. I rolled
back to WMP 9 and it still happens. Reinstalled WMP 10 and still happens.
The fault bucket number is 173080092.

Do you have mmswitch.ax installed on this system? Looks like you do. That
file is noxious and should be removed. Don't EVER install codec packs,
okay? They're created by absolute fools. =\

Well, that's another crash bucket solved. =)
