Hi Cari, the problem is solved : I simply installed the original codec pack 5.2 and everything is fine now. Thanks again for your quick reaction and the tip about GSpot.
Still wonder of course how these codecs have disappeared suddenly, without any system change. The only action taken on these files, was importing them in WM9 player. ???
Kind regards,
Jul
