My AVI videos not playing with WMP - help

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

For some reason, my WMP 10 (latest version) has stopped playing some of my
AVI files. Instead of starting them, it just gives me the following error:

----------------
AppName: wmplayer.exe AppVer: 10.0.0.3931 ModName: quartz.dll
ModVer: 6.5.2600.2807 Offset: 00095fd5
---------------

I do have have a XVid / DivX /AC3 codes installed, and those files still
play fine. But the regular MPEG4 videos from my digital camera just
stopped playing. Out of desperation, I have tried to un-install all these
Codecs and also QuickTime. But, the problem is still there.
I also tried downloading and re-installing WMP 10 from Microsoft, but it
won't install as it finds that I already have the latest version.

Anyone with ideas?

P.S. They still play fine via other players before I uninstalled them
also...
