Windows Media Player just suddenly stopped playing mpg movies. It used to few days ago. Tried system restore back 1 week, still they wont play. Updated WMP to version 11 and did updates for it and still not play.

Come up with same error message. 'Windows Media Player encounted an error.'

the movies work, as i have played them in WMP before and they play in quicktime. But i want to use WMP. any suggestions ?
