Did you download ALL the codec packs? I looked on my HD and found ones I
had collected over the eons, called:
Wmp6cdcs.exe
wmpcdcs8.exe
wmpcdcs8a.exe
wmv9VCMsetup.exe

Who knows, I might have missed some. But I also have other media

players,
like Nero and Neo. (For the movie files, I usually end up using those).
My most recent project has been trying to get my VHS tapes converted over

to
DVDs, so that's why I have those).

By the way, I also tried out Media Player Classic (free), and liked it a
LOT, but it seemed a tad buggy (in one or two instances). Don't know

if
you've tried that one or not.

I'd say you ought to count your blessings, Steve. Seriously. Even

7.1
is a bit of an albatross. I never reinstalled 7.1 after reinstalling
Windows, as I still prefer 6.4 (with the updated codecs). (along with

some
other apps, like Winamp and MMJB).
