Alright, I do have a lot of codecs installed (codec packs and the like), but somehow it doesn't seem like that's the problem here. You see, I'm only able to start viewing a video-file ONCE when I've installed a codec (it can be any codec, or any codec-related program, ffsdshow for instance). After that, whenever I try to start a videofile WMP just sits there with a black screen, while my hdd is chewing on itself. Then after some chewing, it goes silent and nothing more happens. If I install a codec (or codec-related program), I can again view a file ONCE. Now, is this insane or WHAT?
Furthermore, when I used GSPOT to make sure I was having the correct codec, it went ballistic and told me some kind of error was afoot, and that it had intercepted a bad codec related to DirectShow, or something in that fashion. The file was:
"The codec was tentatively identified as:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\lameACM.acm
msacm.lameacm"
Maybe it would just be best if I purged the system of all codecs and started all over? But I honestly don't know which codecs I have, my system is a mess. Can anyone please help me?
By the way, videos still work normally in DivX-player, but I need them to work in WMP as well to use them with my GBA Movie Player.
