WMP just plane sucks! I have nothing but problems with it. About the only thing you can do is look for a updated Codex or just replace the player with another one like b1gapl said.

I think K-lite is better than vlc, coz you dont have to go through the whole 'default program' rubbish that windows uses to try and force you to use wmp. Plus, I have come across files that vlc won't play. k-lite rules! Free-Codecs.com : Download K-Lite Codec Pack 3.8.0 FULL, K-Lite Codec Pack 3.8.0 STANDARD, K-Lite Codec Pack 3.8.0 BASIC : K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and related tools
