Tried doing what you suggested and still no change. I almost wouln't mind doing an OS restore but not only did the computer not come with the windows disk, but there isn't even a partition for it. Guess I'm kind of up a creek there huh.
@ngsilver - I've been using MPC, I tried MPCHC after the former stopped working but there was no difference. I uninstalled both of them so I actually don't know which version I had, but I'll definitely look into that.
Really appreciate all the suggestions though, thanks to everyone stopping by. As much as I'm on computers there's quite a lot I don't know about them.

I think with my netbook you press Alt+F10 on the Acer logo at boot to get to the restore functions. It has a hidden partition.

Open up the application event viewer after a failed attempt and look for anything related to it (error/warning with application name at fault for example)? Post the findings for each:
Windows Media Player? (what version?)
Media Player Classic?
VLC?
MPlayer?
Also, when did the issue start happening? Did you install anything pior? Was the system shut down unexpectedly? Did you get a BSOD?
This doesn't sound like a codec problem and more to do with a windows component that WMP and MPC share. If you haven't done so already, I would suggest again to update DirectX.
