Media Center: cannot view or play videos

I cannot view or play videos in media center. even in sample videos folder. all I can view and play is .dat extn only. I need help please. I can play avi, mpeg and all format in media player.

Note: I believe the problem started after I installed Nero latest version. I need your help in resolving this issue without uninstalling Nero because I already tried uninstall and reinstall Nero.

I'd suggest bringing up taskmgr and stopping anything related to
Nero. Then bring up services and stop andthing there related to
Nero. Then try importing the reg file again.

reg file.
