I have a somewhat similar problem and the solution seems to be to hit
alt-control-delete and then cancel. You need to do this even you have
the Task Manager open.

I think this is some sort of windows/windowsmedia bug. The same
problem comes up opening a avi file in Premiere Pro and the same fix
works.

I am going to ask in this group and see if I can figure out just what
sort of a hang-up like this would be unhung this way.
