Windows Media Player 10 crashes when playing .wmv files

[pug_s]

Hi,

On my Dell Inspiron 700 laptop, (with intel integrated graphics) wmp crashes when playing wmv files. The laptop is running windows xp home with sp2. I have no problems using winamp playing .wmv files. I have tried upgrading to IE7 and installing Windows Media Player 11 and it does not resolve it. I even tried uninstalling wmp 11, and then uninstalling/re-installing windows media player 10 and it still doesn't fix the problem. Anybody know how to fix this problem short of re-installing windows xp? Thanks.

is there an error or something when wmp crashes? or is it just silent

I found the issue. Another codec was conflicting with this one.
