Now im trying to wrench wmp 11 off my pc to put wmp 10 back but i have system restore off so rolling back doesnt work! what now??

anyone? i can now get quicktime to play mpegs but not wmp or wmp6.4 or even winamp! this is drivin me nuts! it will play wmv but nout else

it wont roll back, because i have system restore off like most the guys on here. Could all of a sudden the permissions of the mpegs been locked up or something??

Not neccessarily anything to do with the hdd, ram can cause corrupted data, as well as other software errors.

the codec pack now has windows media player classic working with all mpegs which is great. Is this now a case of take it as it is? as i only use wmp to view the odd video as i use itunes for music. Maybe a fresh install while cure it? Im probs gonna wait til vista gets its first SP and then just fresh install then
