    Hi - Windows Media Player 10 is installed on XP Pro SP2. All of a sudden,
    when I play videos, I get a pop up that says Active Movie Window instead of
    the video simply playing in WMP. Here's a screenshot:

    Computer is virus, spyware, and adware free.

    Question - How do I disable this Active Movie Window popup so that the video
    plays in Windows Media Player 10?

    Thanks

    Joe

    One site says "The problem is solved by reducing video hardware acceleration
    (in the advanced display options -> troubleshoot) by 3 steps ("Disable all
    DirectDraw and Direct3D accelerations, as well as all cursor..."

    Another says that it's a side-effect of a particular version of XVid codec
