For me, my cure was to not use WMP. I've yet to find solid fixes to WMP issues. It seems to be a work in progress and "unreliable."
-> To playback MPEGs I use MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC which I can find with google.com
Best of luck and remember I will not offer a fix for WMP since I've found such to be a tarpit of issues. I let others do that.

Media Player crashes & blames Cyberlink Power DVD
On some MPG2 files, windows media just freezes, the video does not open
the error message always says the problem is due to Cyberlink
I have Power DVD 5 I upgraded to Power DVD6
the problem still occurs
