Do you have codec packs installed? Perhaps they were installed under one user account and not for the other?

That's why I like Win 7. Support for basically every format out there out of the box, once you add Haali Media Splitter. No more stupid codec packs.

If you are looking for a decent codec pack for XP, try shark007. That is what I used before I switched all my machines to Win7.

It sucks that not all formats can be played.
