Hello,
Have you reinstalled the MB drivers?
Updated the video drivers? If so then the following may be of use.
Try WMP v10, it includes most codecs for Windows XP.
Another media player that works with Windows XP, VLC media player v 0.9.8a,

Codecs that work well with Windows XP, try K-Lite

take care.
