Resolved WMP and R6025 Runtime Error

I have just transferred my Holiday video from my Sony DCR-SR72E (hard drive camcorder), using Sony PMB launcher to my PC (XP). Each clip has a WMP file and a "data" file.
When I double click on the WMP file Media player opens but I get a "Windows M P encountered a problem while playing the file." If I close that window I then get a Runtime error R6025 pure virtual call. The file will play on my "PowerDVD" programme perfectly well.
How can I get the dreaded Windows media player to play the files reliably.
I have downloaded a K-Lite Codec pack to no avail.
Can I remove WMP 11 (11.0.5721.5280) and re-install or revert back or what ?
If someone can come up with an easy fix I would be delighted.
Thanks in advance

Open K-lite's Media Player Classic & drag & drop the file there. If it plays ok, you can set Media Player Classic as the default player for WMP files.

 

Thanks, I tried to play the files on Classic but got the same run-time error. I loaded the orig files onto a memory stick and plugged it into my wifes Vista laptop and it played first time. I feel that it is my WMP 11 that is at fault. I would like to remove it and reinstall, or go back to 10, but I don't really know if this is the way to go, or how to come to that. Any ideas out there

How to uninstall Windows Media Player 11 in Windows XP.

Gurgaon is 25 kms. from my place. Still there ?

 

Back in cold UK after 3 weeks around Rajasthan. The usual places.
I have just tried to remove WMP11 via control panel, add remove progs and it wouldn't allow as it said some bits had allready been removed, so I downloaded WMP 11 afresh. I also updated PMB from Sony. I would just like to cure the runtime error so I can use WMP to play the MPEG video files.
I have one set of video files that actually play on WMP 11 whereas the other 3 sets don't ? (all from the same camcorder and they all look the same in detail). I actually posted this question a year or two ago I have just realised, to no effect. (Use the search function)(http://www.windowsbbs.com/other-pc-software/67485-windows-media-player-r6025-error.html)
Should I remove WMP 11 or try something else like roll back to 10

 

Thanks Peter.
My Power DVD plays the videos OK. This sort of thing just irritates me. I seem to think that if I have a programme supplied by a huge corporation and used by millions, I should be able to use it. Anyway when it works I like WMP so I am still looking for a solution, even just to stop the problem niggling at me,
