Ad Aware fixed the problem for me.
I use K-Lite Codec, but I didn't install their shitty media player. I manually associated all media files to Windows Media Player. I nutured the tracking with Adaware, and changed all the settings so it's always in the minimized Now I can play everything (Divx, Real, QuickTime) on Windows Media Player! /m\
Quick zephyrs blow, vexing daft Jim.
