error code 80040265

What follows is from Zach's WMP MiniFAQ
(http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html) (Zach is a member of the team
that wrote WMP):

Q: I'm getting 0x80040218 errors : Can't Find Filters - "no combination of
filters could be found to render this stream"...? (Or 0x80040265 for any
file played within WMP7 (or newer).)

A: First try downloading and running this reg file
(http://www.zachd.com/pss/missingfilterclsid.reg). If that doesn't work:
If you have WMP7, download the installer again and check the "Reinstall
All" option.

If you are on Win2K or WinMe and the reg file doesn't work, you will have
to use the WMP7 installer to fix this issue.
