Off Topic,

 

But maybe someone here on the board can help me with a problem I've got.

 

I think that my teenage son went somewhere on the net and managed to download something onto my computer. The effect is that WMP isn't working as it should.

 

It will play the FLB videos that I downloaded onto my harddrive (Thanks again Pete ;D) And when I went to a site that has that silly Ketchup video it played too with the link right off of the site.

 

But every time I go to some of the link pages where they have the porno clips (mpegs, wmv, avi ect.) none of them will play on the WMP. I'm back to looking at the damned picture sites to fullfill my perverted needs :-X

 

Any ideas on what I can or should do to correct the problem.

 

Note: I downloaded a fresh file of the WMP #9 which I'm guessing overwrote the current files but I didn't delete the old ones first. It didn't help the problem but unless someone has a better idea, that's what I'll be doing next time. Delete the old WMP and download it again with fresh files...

 

Thanks,

Sound's like a codec problem. I've sent you a file - 10 meg - with some fancy codecs.

 

I've installed it and it supports everything.

 

You should just need to install it, reboot and everything should work fine.

 

PS: Maybe an seperate computer (or maybe apartment) for you son as well?

Ling,

 

I haven't got the file yet but I'll watch for it ;D

 

As for my son, I've said in the past that the only way to be truely sure that your computer is safe if you have a teenage son is to take him out behind the shed and shoot the little sucker ::)

 

Thanks,
