I know this is a crappy answer, but I'd check http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...player/faq.aspx.
They have several ideas there.

Also try this program: http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ It will tell you what codecs you might need.

Another common problem is the codecs already on your computer: try removing some you don't need and/or reinstalling them.
If I think of something else, I'll post it.
Hope this helped
