DirectShow Bug ???

Hi, I'm having a problem with the DirectX8 that comes with the SDK, When I try to open some kind of files (i.e. mp3) with DirectShow it opens correctly, but when I press play it gives me the following message: I tried to reinstall windows and it works fine if I don't install the DirectX SDK version... But if I install it the error keeps on. Is this a DirectShow bug or is it a bug of the filters?? Note: Some files works ok (i.e. wav) [Edit:] if I press Yes on the Dialog Box that appears it doesn't go away, it appears again and again... Some players like BSPla*er shows the same message, however Windows Media Player 8 works fine. I only have had this error since I installed WindowsXP, but I think it's because of the Debug Version of DX8, I am not able to install the Retail version with WinXP, I choose the Retail Version of DirectX but installs the debug version, I have already changed to the runtime libs on Control Panel but it keeps on...

The codec I''m using is a microsoft''s codec, it comes with Windows.

I''ve already tried to format and reinstall windows only with
VC++ 6.0 and DX8 SDK and the problem keeps on... However before
I installed DX8 SDK I tried to run my compiled program and it worked
fine, after I instaled the SDK it didn''t worked anymore...

debug runtime doesn''t like some of the code it''s asked to deal with.

send an email to developers of whatever player is giving you trouble and tell them to install debug dx runtime and fix up their code.

It''s not only BSPla*er that gives me errors, I tried a player
that I''ve done it happens the same, but I''ll try to e-mail some
developers
