Bad Image Error from WMP11 ActiveX Control

When executing the play command from a WMP11 embedded control from javascript, I'm getting a Bad Image - Error for 99% of my tracks. It only works on one or two, and I can't figure out any specific reason why it would work on those only. The strange thing, is that even with this annoying error the tracks still play fine. Worth noting perhaps: i'm using nVidia nforce3 drivers, which are in alpha so probably aren't signed.

    Unsigned drivers would have been my guess too. If you can, try rolling back to more standard drivers, and your problem might go away.

    After experimenting a little, I discovered something interesting: when I run my application (which hosts the WMP OCX) as Administrator in Vista, I no longer get the "Bad Image" error. If I run it as a regular user, I get the error. Does this tell you anything

    I get this same problem -- "Bad Image" when opening a WMV file from the WMP OCX. I'm using the nVIDIA drivers that came on the Vista CD, and they appear to be signed (see linked image), but I still get the error. Any ideas what else this might be
