# unsintall
nimo codecs.. then reboot (plus mediaplayer 9 is a bag of wank)

Reuinstall and do a custion - don't install these:

m400 codec (or any matrox one unless u have a matrox vid card)
morgan stream switcher
any mp3 codecs
and anthing else in the help that you don't think you need.

Right - now it'll work, but is still shit.

So - use mediaplayer 6.4 which is this: program files\windows media player\mplayer2.exe

will now play anything you get and perfectly well (unlike mediaplayer 7/8/9..)

# Or get
bsplayer which is much more fun than MediaPlayer. Less bloaty, lots more options, supports SRT subtitles, blah blah blah. www.divx-digest.com should have it.

# "Release Candidate 1"
codenamed "Hahahaha I can't believe we keep getting them to install this shit on their machines"

Strangely, this codename gets used quite often at Microsoft.

Good luck, and may the Borscht be with you.
