wmv files not playing

All .wmv files have stopped playing. I noticed the wmpconfig, wmplayer, and
wmpshare files were updated 10/11/07. This appears to have occurred with an
automatic Windows update. What happened and how do I fix this. No program I
have on my computer will play these videos. I'm running Vista Home Premium.

Could you clarify how they're not playing? Is it simply that no video is
showing up?

Do you have an Intel Express Chipset on this system?
Do MPEG files still work?
