Media Player won't play from Windows XP Explorer

What a strange problem! Double-clicking a media file suddenly stopped
working. It starts Media Player, but it won't play. Drag and drop shows the
"forbidden" icon, the circle with a diagonal line. I tried reinstalling
Media Player (MPSetupXP.exe) to no avail. If I drag a file to a command
console and hit enter, it plays.

I'd sure appreciate some advice on this. I have all the latest updates from
Windows Update.

Thanks!
