[Help] Windows Media Player: Missing Codec

[Anoel]

I'm having a problem playing wmv files in Windows Media Player 10. Whenever I do, they're choppy and slow and play from one still and then show another still a few seconds later. I use GSpot to see what the problem is and it says that wmv9dmod.dll is missing from the Windows>>system32 folder. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and downloading wmv codecs from the microsoft website to no avail. Does anyone know a way to fix this?

ETA: Also, the video usually plays like its in slow motion.

k-lite codec pack?

Are you asking whether I have it? I used to a long time ago but I uninstalled it because it was giving me trouble with applications and other things. WMV files were working after that though, at least I think so.

[eyeball]

have you tried reinstalling media player 10?

get rid of wmp and use wmlite.

So how do you get rid of wmp?

uninstall it. go to control pannel>add/remove programs find "windows media player 10" and click remove. but i dont suggest doing this! just reinstall WMP 10

Ps: This has nothing to do with windows xp, it should be moved to the software hangout

Thanks for the wmlite link. I should use that in my next nLite build. Unless...wmp 11 comes out by then.

I've already tried reinstalled WMP three times and it doesn't work. I'll try that though.

Sorry if its in the wrong place, I wasn't sure which was the right place to post it.
