you have beta software installed somwhere, probably either directx 8 , or media player, get a newer version, direct x rc0, can be found at http://zoiah.m3dzone.com, and media player from any magazine cd, or microsoft.

Actually...do you have winDVD 2000 installed? The Trial? because if you do, that is the source of your problem. Once the trial expires...it expires their MPG playing software too...which is what is used by default on 2k...sucks a big one if you ask me...
 
to fix it...well...uninstall windvd and reinstall WMP...hopefully if all goes well the message will go away...
 
Your not alone...I speak to tons of people who have the same problem (i had it too)..
