Windows Media player error

[slick1]

Hi all.

i have reformatted my computer and reinstalled Windows XP but the strange thing is that when i try and play music on it and double click the MP3 song, windows media player opens and then the error screen comes

"Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

i dont know how i can go about fixing this problem. when i click on the link to show the error log, it comes up with the error log.

on the bottom part of the screen it says, "the following files were included in the error report". D:\DOCUME~1\CON&LE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER31.tmp.dir00 \appcompat.txt

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again.
