K-lite Causing Nightmares!

Ok here are a number of things you can do to remove pesky programs and revert to default codecs.
Firstly you can use directshw filter manager to see which codecs are broken and then disable/unregister them, and under the troubleshooting tab click on Restore DirectX codecs.
1.uninstall all installed codecs.
2.re-install default windows codecs - link here re-install/install latest directx
3. using chart from above link - (see below) go into Device Manager and expand "sound, video and game controllers" > double click on Video codecs and remove anything not on list above.
Do the same thing for the audio codecs.
Now install a Directshow package as either suggested above, or also ffdshow as I also suggested. If you use codecs that are a little outside the norm for most people like ogg or flac, I would suggest installing the codec by itself manually as the directshow filters will cover all of the basics like divx xvid etc.....
If none of this works, try installing/reinstalling latest service pack

here you go
Try DirectShow Filter Manager or Radlight Filter Manager
Seriously there is really no need to install all of the superfluous extras from k-lite. Since the biggest proponent of k-lite is ffdshow, it only makes sense that if you just install ffdhow then most of your codec needs are covered.

Did you try all of the things I recommended above
and did you re-install DirectX (a biggie for the probs you are having with wmv) also try installing windows media player 9 codec pack from Microsoft.As far as the RMVB I am not too sure as I don't use it... perhaps installing just the specific codec needed to play back that file type.
