Okay i did scan my disk for errors and i found two EA's. Now when i ran
windows media player through IE activex i see the following error in error log
Service 'WMPNetworkSvc' did not start correctly because
CoCreateInstance(WindowsMediaPlayer) encountered error '0x8007007e'. If
possible, reinstall Windows Media Player.
