Thanks MDGx, At least i see that one person has been testing it. I'm working actively on the system restore project and a more graphiocal (hta) interface (maybe a progress bar too). It looks very promising. I'm very exited about that now. I hope to release a pre-beta version in two or three weeks.

Solved! Basicaly I had problems with all players and editors I tried. Now it seems it's fixed. I think my system was sort of in a mess. I had other issues (errors, programs non functioning etc) non related to wmv or multimedia which obliged me to reinstall windows and I had thousands of problem reinstalling it and reinstalling drivers which for no reason were uninstalled during the windows reinstall (crashes, BSODs, everything). Now it seems it's bcak to normal. Big disapointement for me: My installed file checker script were of no use in this case... (I think i'v been victim of virus while trying a freeware).

If autoexec is erased after windows has started (basicaly after the desktop is visible) you can put this script in the Start/programs/startup folder so that at every start it will check it out.

Actualy I'm using mplayer2.exe as my dfault player. No other player would open wmv files but this one. Under "porperties" mplayer2 tells me that wmv9 and 8 are both installed.

You should try to find out when the autoexec.bat get wiped off. Here is a small script allowing you to restore autoexec.bat. It checks if the batch file has less than 10 bytes (practicaly empty) and copy autoexec.bak under .bat. Make sure autoecex.bak is identical to theautoexec.bat (open the two files in Notepad) (you can use another name or extention if you want, if you modify this script). Copy-paste the following code in Notepad and save it under Autoexec_restore.vbs. create a shortcut to this script on your desktop for easy access. Set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject") If fso.getfile("C:\autoexec.bat").size < 10 Then fso.getfile("C:\autoexec.bak").Copy "C:\autoexec.bat" MsgBox "Autoexec.bat restored!",,"Autoexec restore" End If HTH

WMV9 codecs installed (see MDGx list of update or website). Wmplayer.exe doesn't exists (deleted) mplayer.exe can open and play all the wmv files on my PC but no other application would. Even a simple player like FastStone player is unable to open WMV files (plays well all the other types), decoders and editors won't open wmv files neither. Only mplayer.exe seems to be able to open them. Can it be because wmplayer.exe is not found or is it a codcs problem? I don't know the codec version in which the files have been encoded.

I also relax sometimes (not often I must say) in font of the old defag. On my HD there are often "stairs" patterns. Sometimes repeated on a large area (about one hundred of the same conbination of 3 stairs of 5 or 10 clusters each). This happens when I compress viddo and delete the uncompressed movie. Sometimes there is one or two block lost in a huge white area...

IMO these two lines are superflous: Temp IS in "C:\windows\temp" by default. It's useful if you want to set it to another location.
