H E L P ! wmv video stops mid-way in 60 sec video ?? WMP 9 & 11 on XP

I have a little 60 sec video we made and rendered to wmv format.

Plays fine on one computer... on another the video stops about half way
through... sound keeps going... but video won't come back... even if we
pause & restart... or pause, rewinde, then restart.

This is on a windows XP machine running a 1.8 Ghz processor... (Dell)

We had WMP 9 on it... had problem... then updated to WMP 11... rebooted,
etc... deleted and recopied the video... still same problem.

We have a presentation coming up and need for this computer to work as it is
in our conference room with a big screen lcd monitor on it.

Thanks for any help.

Does the buggy computer have problems with playback of other files too, or
just that?

Does this work if you turn down video hardware acceleration:

Your video card driver is buggy - update it or turn down video hardware
acceleration.
