I can only get audio and no video when I am viewing sites that have a Windows Media Player File. I have tried to select it as default in the "Set Program Access and Defaults" but it doesn't save the change! I have tried removing the WMP software, downloading the latest version (11), going back as far as possible (January 2007) and restoring the computer to that time, etc. I have tried everything that I can think of, but I am stuck! Can anyone help? Thanks!
I did a search for "Windows Media Player Codec downloads" and gave the sight a good look over. I ended up downloading version 6.4 (with all of the selections picked to download). They are all loaded on my Desk Top, but do I need to "open" them or "run" them, and can I run more than one at a time??? I don't follow the way that they work. Can I move them to wherever the Windows Media Player files are located so that the player can pick and run whatever it needs? I also have an error on one of the downloads that says that I don't have Administrators rights... I checked in User Accounts and I do! (not sure what to think about that one)... I am also getting the error message regarding CTF Loader. How bad is that? I truly appreciate any help you can offer!
I purchased, installed and ran "Just Registry" and it fixed the following: Startup Program Problems - 5 ActiveX/Classes Section - 167 Application Paths - 3 Shared Program Files - 23 Program ID Section - 104 File Associations - 4 Complete Registry Scan - 300 Invalid Shortcuts - 42 I still can't manage Internet Explorer Add-Ons (making Windows Media Player my default player) The system appears to ignore me like I didn't have Admin Rights! How can I fix this? I made a new account SYS ADMIN with the same rights. I still couldn't change anything with Internet Explorer Add-Ons. Any ideas?

You will need to install those codecs. They are usually in an exe format..self running and installing. A pretty complete set of required codecs are here also. http://www.free-codecs.com/download/XP_Codec_Pack.htm
Thanks for your input. I tried exactly what you said, downloaded, extracted, installed, etc. But when I went to switch the defaults in the "Set Program Access and Defaults" I got the following message... RUNTIME ERROR PROGRAM C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\RUNDLL32.EXE R6025 - PURE VIRTUAL FUNCTION CALL. Any more ideas? They are truly appreciated. Thanks again
