WMP10 Video won't work - Audio only

[Guest]

I have a problem in which my video worked fine under WMP9. When I
upgraded to WMP10 it stopped working - only audio now.

MS Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility states my "ArcSoft DVD Video"
decoder "VideoDecoder.ax" version "1.8.1.4" is "not compatible with the
synchronization feature of WMP10".

I cannot downgrade back to WMP9, so am I basically stuck buying new encoder
software?

depending on which version of windows you are running you should uninstall
mp10 and reinstall mp9

sure you can downgrade if you uninstall it and go to microsofts download
sight and download mp9 and install it.

You were correct, I was able to roll-back to WMP9. Unfortunately my MPEGs
still do not work.

I just upgraded my video drivers again and am now going to update my sound
card drivers. I know it sounds strange, but Sound Cards are the root of all
evil.
