Video doesn't show / play?

I have written a very simple Avalon program which should display a video in
the application window. My problem is that nothing shows up. I have included
the XAML below. I using the Feb CTP.

What could be the problem?

<Window x:Class="Test.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Test" Height="300" Width="300" Loaded="WindowLoaded"
>
<Grid>

<MediaElement x:Name="VideoPlayer" Source="E:\Videos\Test1.wmv" >
</MediaElement>

</Grid>
</Window>

Hello Olav

Check your video drivers, and be sure you have the most recent version of
them. This is the most usual reason of this problem.

My problem was that I was running this on Windows XP Professional x64
Edition. The video playback is not supported on x64. To fic the problem, I
had to set the Target platform for my project to x86. Now it will run under
WOW (32-bit subsystem) and it will work.
