no video playing .wmv file (part 1)

Hi,
I'm using WMP11 with XP-Pro, when I try to open a .wmv file I get sound and
no video. I've tried the solutions mentioned in other posts (lowering my
accelation, using rendering mixer, using hi quality etc. etc.) but nothing !!
I used the Sherlock.exe and got a list of all my installed codecs:

(Please note that since the post is too long I will devide it into 2 posts)
