note: when i deleted a windows framework update WMC started to work fine for about a day then reverted back to the way it was. the update has not been reinstalled. infact i have uninstalled everything that was installed around the time before the issue started.

anyone? is this problem unfixable? ive been to about 5 forums thus far done everything they asked and now i simply get crickets. am i just screwed here?

nvm figured out u meant to go into WMC and do that. the set up had 0 effect.

my dad whos better with my computer also thinks it may be a registry issue but ive run like 3 different registry fixers and no luck with it improving. the only times it has improved even briefly was when i deleted lord of the rings online which got it working fine for about a hour. then i uninstalled a windows framework update and it was fine for about a day.

and before it it is asked no the update has not reinstalled.

edit* ran the fixwin program and it says everything is fine.

Try uninstalling any codecs or codec packs you may have installed; if that doesn't work try opening Command Prompt as Administrator and type: sfc /scannow.

yes i did everything you posted. i have uninstalled everything that was installed around the time of the issue start. i have already reset the registry to what it was before. i used the flush widnows media option. and i have no options for a system restore to a date before the issue was happening.

oh and did the scannow thing and it said everything is fine.

k have thread up there but as of yet no responses.

Do you have the newest DirectX installed?
