Reset ALL codecs ...how ?
Reset ALL codecs ...how ?
(OP)
Everytime I simply left click once a media file (.mpg) all of explorer crashes.
I would like to delete or reset all codecs I have. I have tried to re-install Windows Media Player 10, some codec packs, ffdshow, you name it... Now I just want to avoid doing the format c: thing.
I have MCE 2005, a Twinhan DVB-S card (1020), Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 and on-board sound (AC3 to sound system)
At one point everything was working fine, Sat TV, MCE2005 and the WinTV PVR 150. What I tried to do was to make the Sat TV mpeg 2 video get decoded by the hardware mpeg2 decoding in the PVR150. Well it didn't work, I guess I'll have to read more on graphs and graphedit.
help!

Some codec information and links via this thread.
.avi files won't show video

The thread for avi files: Tried GSpot 2.52 but it couldn't identify .mpg files, only .avi
If I browse a folder with mpg files with thumbnails, it crashes.

Codecs Installation Packages

Did you try that?
RE: Reset ALL codecs ...how ?
I'll try deleting every codec I can find (control panel, sound and audio devices / hardware / video codecs) and then install that package again...

The only major point is Media Center (2005)... it crashes when I try to watch live TV. I re-installed the PVR150 drivers and software, disabled then re-enabled the board.
So after 8 DVDs of backing up data, I'll have to re-install.
Thanks for your help linney!

I'll name my next child linney !
I think direct-x did it, but now everything is back and working great. I did the same thing on my laptop, it was also a codec mess.
Thanks for your help!
