End of last week, Microsoft forced some sort of update that required a reboot to all of our computers. Since then, we have been having all sorts of weird problems trying to encode Windows Media using either Premiere or Windows Media Encoder.

At first I couldn't figure out what had happened, since everything was working fine early last week, and then, all the sudden, NONE of our machines will encode WM from either app.

Anyone experience something similar? Any idea how to fix it? (And don't say "buy a Mac"... we already know that solution and are considering it...)
