Media Player v11 and File Types problem

[zefromlogic]

Hello people!

I have a problem with Media Player when I need to use it on a website
or whatever, very often it won't play.

When I check for the File Types that are checked within it, I am
finding asf, wmv, aiff, and some other type are dark-grayed out, but
still have a checkmark in the boxes.

If I click on top of the dark grayed boxes, they become white still
with the check mark in them and the player works perfectly then.

I am pretty sure this is not just happening to me, but to some others
as well.

My system configuration:

Windows XP-SP2, all Microsoft parches and updates, plenty of juicy
RAM, over 2GBs, fast CPU, fast DSL, etc.

So, how can I keep these boxes from getting dark-grayed out all the
time?

If anyone has any answer to this problem, I would appreciate it if
they could comment on it as well as give tips and things to try.

Thanks!
