well, first of all it's bad to install a lot of codecs because they can interfere and make your system unstable and buggy....also many codecs include spyware. best is to make a clean new install and use just one codec pack, best get the open source one:

i've cleaned my pc with Kaspersky & Spyware Doctor . now i've installed the xvid pack , it's fine the video start but when i click at WMP explorer freeze again & i cant anything .

now i thing its an problem with register keys . i've imported the old reg keys , but now i cant play the avi file with WMP 9. I must download WMP 11 .

i will reply after if i fix or not this problem .

hmm...looks like installing the codecs and different media players messed up the system, I really recommend a complete new XP setup...

when done make sure only to install the codec pack I posted....or maybe only Nero....
