They play fine for me in winamp. They also play fine in WMP with no extra stuff coming up. They use the ffdshow filter. This is installed fine when you install XVid.

I would suggest you probably have Too Many codecs installed. Go into your add remove programs and get rid of every player and codec you have.

I would recommend you could probably remove that OpenMG by deleting the program file folder, then downloading and re-installing the program. Then un-install. Restart between the major steps there.

After you have all those things removed, install XVid and the AC3 filter. That's it, don't install any other codecs. If you want to install Quicktime and Realplayer later, that's cool, just don't let them try to take over anything.

Looks like it's something to do with Sony's blasted software again.

I'd suggest removing entirely Sony's software and reinstalling it again because it appears to have screwed up somewhere and it can't find the source for its components to repair/reinstall itself. Hence the message.
