I appreciate the help but I prefer WMP10 over MPC. Does anyone know how to fix the WMP10 memory allocation error?

Well, I don't like having multiple media players installed on my computer - I'd rather use WMP10 for everything. Does anyone know how to fix the memory allocation problem?

I can get QuickTime files to play just fine in Media Player Classic, but as I mentioned above, WMP10 gives me a memory allocation error. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I've found the solution to this problem - it has to do with a file called mcspmpeg.ax. I didn't have mcspmpeg.ax on my system per se; I had nikonmcspmpeg.ax, which came with my Nikon PictureProject software. Once I uninstalled PictureProject, everything fixed itself. Thanks to those that posted!

I don't have any Roxio software installed (though I do have other CD burning software). I tried enabling "Connect to Internet", but that didn't help. Any other ideas? Thanks for posting this, but it doesn't look like you have Windows XP. Could someone with XP post their HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mpegfile registry tree?

Anyone have any ideas?

Is that the only way to get QuickTime Alternative to work? Has anyone gotten it to work with WMP10?

I just downloaded and installed QuickTime Alternative 1.68 and I've run into a problem. QuickTime "applets" embedded in web pages work perfectly, but I can't play regular QuickTime .mov files with WMP10. When I try to open a .mov file in WMP10, I get the error message: Cannot allocate memory because no size has been set. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I recently started having a problem playing MPEG files in Windows XP. Here's what I know and have done so far: The problem only occurs when I try to play an MPEG file from the Internet. This includes clicking on a hyperlink to an MPEG file and using "File->Open URL" through WMP. If I double-click on a file in Windows Explorer, it works properly. I have tried using IE6, IE7B2, and Opera 8.5 - the problem persists regardless of browser. I have tried reinstalling WMP10, downgrading to WMP9, and then upgrading back to WMP10. I have also tried using Media Player Classic - the problem persists regardless of media player. AVI, WMV, ASF, WAV, and other common media files all work just fine. It's only MPEG files that don't work. The exact problem is this: WMP will open and the MPEG file will be listed in the playlist, but it won't play. WMP displays a single frame (I think the last frame), but when I click the Play button, nothing happens. If I right-click on the file in the playlist and go to Properties, the length of the MPEG file is listed as 00:00. I have a suspicion that my registry is somehow corrupted. Could someone export their HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mpegfile tree to a .reg file and then post the contents of that file? Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
