Hello there,
You sound as though you are suffering from a codec problem.
The one stop solution for that is a program called Rename Codecs and
it is available from my web site. To get your copy you have to join
the Rename Codec Forum and then request it. A copy will then be sent
to you. Make sure you check out the FAQ on what it does and how to
run it (That will take about one minute of your time!!) All the info
you need is on the web site.
Be warned that unregistering any file and doing it wrong will more
than likely stop the program from working all together and may cause
your entire XP system to fail. This is true whether you make a
mistake using the Registry editor or the registration program
itself....one mistake and you are potentially in deep trouble.
This reassuringly safe to use program requires no knowledge on your
part about what it is doing or how it is doing it or what it is doing
it too!!! neither do you need to know where any of these files are or
whether it is safe to rename them or not.....and best of all, ITS
FREE !!!
If this does not solve your problem then try the following out...it
has proved to be a successful procedure for a variety of problems.
1) Download the full version of DirectX Ver 9.0b, Media Player 9 and
Movie Maker 2.
2) Reboot you computer and Install DirectX
3) Reboot again and install Windows Media Player 9
4) Reboot yet again and install Movie Maker 2
5) Reboot one more time
Yes it sounds very tedious, but if you want to be certain all file
locks are removed so that the correct files can be installed this is
the way you have to go.
It is very important that you only download the full versions of
these programs and that you DO NOT attempt an install over the
internet.
