"ClassFactory cannot supply the requested class" or Error 80040111 generally
occurs when you are trying to play an AVI without the correct codec
installed.

Q: Do you get this while trying to play an AVI?
Is so...You most likely don't have the right codec installed for that
specific AVI or you have a bad install of the codec.
- Download and use GSpot (http://tinyurl.com/328cp)
- Find out the 4CC code for the file codec
- http://tinyurl.com/262go will help you.
(Or post the information back here and I can help)

Q: Are you playing an MPEG/MPG file?
If so...Please provide the following information in a reply to this post.
-Does it only happen with a few MPEG/MPG files?
-If so...It's most likely a file encoded with the MPEG-2 codec. To decode
this you will need to install an MPEG-2 decoder. Follow the link to more
information.

Q: Do you get this while playing a file other than an AVI?
If so...What file format and what version of WMP are you using?
