2010 uses the DirectShow dll to play video. The problem is that other third party apps can also use / abuse Direct Show and cause it to fail in PowerPoint.

It's not possible to say which app might be doing this but I would suspect

Video / image Converters
DVD writers
Graphics editors
especially ones that come free with your PC.

Try to stop them running at start up and see if that works.
