I have the exact same problem. It happened right after I installed Roxio
Easy Media Creator. If I uninstall it, the problem disappears. It may have
something to do with a a codec conflict, but I'm not an expert in that. Does
anyone know how to set the default codec for Windows Media Player? Forcing
WMP to use certain codecs (in spite of others being available) might solve
the problem. Hope someone can help.
