RC2 Media Player will not play videos (x64)

It won't even play the "sample" videos included.
WMP opens, but just to a blank screen.
"Play" "Pause" etc does nothing.
No error messages or anything, just WMP 11 will not play videos under RC2
(64 bit).
It does play music and pictures just fine.

Nvidia RC1 driver does not work under RC2

This is the cause.
Nvidia RC1 driver (x64) 96.33 DOES NOT WORK under RC2.
You lose all hardware acceleration (video, 3d gaming, etc).
Vista reverts to non-aero windows, WMP will not play videos and no 3d games
work (tested with Half Life2).
