Only sound, and no pictures, sounds like a codec problem. VLC is a good alternative. Or you just use the CCCP code pack on your WMP. Personally I stick to CCCP with WMP (it gets the job done without even the smallest problems on my rig), I never managed to get into VLC. DIVX player, I'm not too fond...

If there's anything that I've learned about file sharing, it's that people will always find a way around attempts to stop it.
