DVD playback broken in WMP
Hi
I have a Toshiba laptop with a Toshiba version of WinDVD v5 installed. DVD playback has always worked fine in WMP.
I was having problems playing a creature comforts short film & I needed an Xvid codec. I downloaded & installed this which broke my DVD playback in WMP. I uninstalled the Xvid codec, but DVD playback in WMP is still broken. DVD playback in WinDVD still works though.
Can anyone advise how I can fix DVD playback in WMP please?
Regards

Don't know if this will help but i use the K-Lite codec pack from Free-Codecs.com :: Download latest audio codecs, video codecs, codec packs and tools, FREE! but i don't know if this will fix your problem

Thanks for your reply.
The problem with WMP is now that when trying to play a DVD, it gives a dialog that my screen resolution may be set too high & a "web help" button that links to the WMP codec site.

Can you restore the computer to a point before you installed the codecs?
Since dvd playback is broken it may be worth giving k-lite a go (never had any problems with it myself)
Free-Codecs.com : Download K-Lite Codec Pack 3.4.5 FULL, K-Lite Codec Pack 3.4.5 STANDARD, K-Lite Codec Pack 3.4.5 BASIC : K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and related tools
This link shows you what is in the pack
Unfortunately my PC knowledge is very limited so i can only suggest what works for me

Reinstalling is what i normally do to cure a problem as well
I use CCleaner - Home as well to make sure when something is uninstalled it takes everything off

I'll give the reinstall go & feedback what happens.
I use JV16 registry cleaner - a little bit more reliable.

Yup it's good, a nice support forum too - with the developer in regular contact. It works well on Vista32 too.
I use JV16 for registry cleaning & CCleaner for all the temp file rubbish.
