Everytime I click on a video link within a thread, I get this message from my Windows Media Player 9...

"The source filter for this file could not be loaded."

It's error code 80040241 which explains that WMP 9 only plays certain types of formats. However, the formats that I'm trying to play though the link (wmv, mpeg, etc) ARE supported by WMP 9. So, I think it may be some sort of codec issue, but since I'm not a computer expert I thought I'd see if you guys have any ideas?

BTW - this all started when I upgraded to WMP 9 from a previous version.

Thanks in advance!
