I have some strange issues recently with my windows media player – it does not play all video files any more (I have no problems on KDE with kmplayer, though). Turns out that this seems to be quite a common error….
The web-help of Microsoft points to this page, and it says something about iD3 tags and things (the reported error number is C00D11B1) – seems not really applicable. Some google-ing revealed a lot of pages; this one in particular has a lot of tipps.
First thing I did is delete all files in the the folder c:\documents and settings\all users\drm; this did not help. Then, I downloaded the XP codec pack from free-codecs.com. This did the trick – apparently, some codec was missing (however, Gspot did not report anything, as this was my first enquiry…… strange.)
