    does it open any videos at all, if you use a different video player do those videos work?

    you could try booting up with the Vista CD and doing a repair. You could also try reinstalling windows media player.

    Yup. I got thee same problem on my laptop. I'm not sure how it happens/why, but there is no solution as of yet. You can't rollback, because it's WMP is integrated into Vista, and you get an error message when trying to do so. You can't upgrade due to the fact there's no better one out.
