Hi, Im trying to get MPC to play WMV video files without having WMP6.4, 9.0, 10.0 or whatever installed - ONLY MPC and codec(s). Currently im using MPC and XP Codec Pack. However MPC just says its unable to render the file. I have tried various codec packs even from Microsoft but no use. If i try MPC on a pc that still has WMP9 installed I can play the files fine. If i can somehow leave WMP9 (or 10) installed but without it being shown up anywhere that would be ok. Just do NOT want it to handle anything. Please give your input
