Pc Game Wont Work

[XMESSIAH32X]

HI I BOUGHT TOP SPIN YESTERDAY FOR MY PC AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING IT. IT INSTALLED NO PROBS.LOADED IT UP BUT WHEN I GET TO GAME MENU OR PLAY MY FIRST TENNIS MATCH IT CRASHES SAYING TOPSPIN EXE FAILED TO WORK OR RESPOND. ALSO A ERROR LOG APPEARS IN THE TOPSPIN FOLDER SAYING :

check direct show video has failed
Àÿ cannot currently be played on this system
you need to install the latest version of Media Player.

I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY COS IM ALL UP TO DATE WITH MY PC. I CAN RUN UT2004, FARCRY, THE SIMS 2, ROME TOTAL WAR, COLIN MCRAE 2005 AND TIGERWOODS 2005 ALL ON TOP SETTINGS AND ALL OF THEIR HARWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS ARE HIGHER THAN TOP SPINS. ALSO TOP SPIN IS DONE BY ATARI WHO DONE UT2004. I ALSO HAVE THE LATEST WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER VERSION 10.

I HAVE A AMD 2 GIG, 512 RAM, ATI RADEON PRO 9600 128MB CARD AND RUNNING WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION SERVICE PACK 2.. MY GAME CONTROLLER IS A PLAYSTATION 2 PAD ON A CONVERTER THAT PLUGS INTO A USB PORT. THIS CONTROLLER WORKS FINE IN ANY OF MY OTHER GAMES. ALSO WOULD WINDOW MOVIE PLAYER HAVE ANY THING TO DO WITH THE PROBLEMS COS I UNINSTALLED IT AND IF SO HOW WOULD I REINSTALL IT?

CAN ANY ONE PLEASE HELP
