wmp 9.0 problems

okay, i think the problem started when i uninstalled
all of my codec packs (defiler, nimo, etc). then i
started reinstalling one codec at a time. i began with
xvid cuz i couldn't get ANY xvids to work right...
then i put an svcd codec in (i think it's mpeg2).
niether of those worked. now whenever i try to play
ANYTHING in wmp, i just get an error. here's the
SS's + some file that was included in the error report.

{ SS's will be uploaded in few }

---------------------------
i use winamp3 to play most of my videos now. unless they're divx, then i use "the playa"
xvids work a bit better now in winamp, but they always have
some blue tint on them. anyone know how to fix that? i tried
installing FFDShow, but i get a cannot-write-to-file error.
should i just reboot in safemode and delete "ffdshow.ax"
then try re-installing it?

any help you guys can give me with these problems would be
much appreciated =]

/Dumpy Dooby

jesus that's wide....did you try reinstalling yet?

And OS probably doesn't matter, but what OS?

And can you play anything in Media Player 6.4 (Start-->Run-->mplayer2 and hit "ok")

your mistake was using anything newer than wmp 6.4

http://www.inmatrix.com/ and get Zoomplayer. free, and better.

i get the same error with mplayer2

btw, use http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow for your xvid and divx codec.
