I have the same exact problem and have not been able to resolve it. I will try this gom player to see if it helps, but I guess I would have the same problem still with streaming.
I didnt think I needed a new card especially because I do not play any games, I found an alternative to playing local videos, but what to do about streaming WMP streams?
That did not work for me, when trying to stream video from like IGN for examply, it loads an internet based version of WMP but still has the same problem.
Anyway to make it so I can view streaming WMP material with a different program?

In that case when in Internet Explorer 7 you need to select Tools then Internet Options. From there select the Programs tab and finally the Manage add-ons button. All you'll need to do then is scroll to find Windows Media Player on the list box and use the option button to disable it. This will force your web browser to use an alternative plaer for streaming media content.

The problem I have now is it is not allowing me to use a different program, its asking me to install or enable to WMP activeX program to watch it.
Simple, you download and install an alternative media player. Installing the latest version of Real Player should also install the relevant browser plug-ins to allow you to view streaming content again. Though you may need to go back into Manage add-ons to make your new media player enabled.
