I have a group of mpg files that WMP used to play. Sometime in the last few months it stopped doing this correctly. Ihave two problems:

1. Some files load and play sound, but the picture is a bunch of nondescript squares. If I let this run for about 20 seconds, it freezes the comuter. These use the CyberLink Video/SP Decoder

2. Other mpg files load with an error "Error Downloading Codecs." These play in spite of the error message. They use the MPEG Video Decoder.

All other mpgs play fine.

I'm using Windows XP Home, Service Pack 2.
