I still can't get WMP or MC to play my MkV files. I installed the shark007.net Windows7 codecs, and also the registry fix, and still no luck. In the configuration for shark007, should I change the default for mkv files?

I never change any defaults - and I play MKVs in WiMP without a problem.
In WMC, I don't get STs and I cannot change default language....
Any thoughts as to why the mkv files are not playing even with the shark007 codec installed? I am considering trying either ffdshow, or the klite codec and see how that helps.
Nope - because they play perfectly fine in every Win7 install I have used with the Shark007 codecs.
Jus tto recap:
1) You uninstalled all previous versions of codec packs, right?
2) You installed SHark007's latest Win7 codecs?
3) (only if you're on a 64bit OS) you install the 64bit extensions?
4) (only on 64bit) You're not trying to run the 64bit WiMP are you? If you are you need to make the 64bit player the default in the SHark007 codecs 64bit settings manager....
Yes I uninstalled other codec packs. I originally had the vista codec pack, but I uninstalled it before installing the latest win7 codec. Is there a tool that uninstall all codecs? I installed and ran sherlock codec checker, and I do not see any codecs for mkv (or maybe I don't know what I am looking for). I attached the report that the codec checker created.
They are there - I ran Sherlock on mine and since I have a newer build, 3 yours are not in mine - but 2 were Hauppaauge, and my WinTV 1800 PVR is auto detected by 7068, so I don't laod any extra drivers, and a modem audio device, and since I don't ahve a modem, I am fine not having that one....
But in my list, I have one that you do not -
In addition, if you're running 64bit Windows 7, you have to run the x64 codec support as well. 32bit users install 1 file, 64bit users install*two* files.Code:Decrypt/Tag FileVersion = 6.6.7068.0 (winmain.090321-1322) CompanyName = Microsoft Corporation FileDescription = XDSCodec & Encypter/Decrypter Tagger Filters. InternalName = EncDec.dll LegalCopyright = © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. OriginalFileName = EncDec.dll.mui ProductName = Microsoft® Windows® Operating System ProductVersion = 6.6.7068.0
Oh, and I have both 32bit and 64bit - 64bit on my desktop at home, and 32bit on my laptop - and both play my 26 episode Season 1 and 2 Claymore anime videos which are all .MKV videos.
well if i remember correctly try renaming the mp3dmod.dll (in system32)...
also make sure you have set in ffdshow that subtitles are enabled
also something you can also choose to allow "autoload VSfilter" so that is able to be used in wmc and the same for ffdshow should be under raw video in the codecs section and "enable in wmp11" should be enabled...
but i believe that it should be enabled already as this is geared as a W7 codec pack...
If I understand you correctly, are you saying that based on my codec report, I should be able to play mkv because I have the correct codec installed? Also, I am running build 7000 (upgrading to 7068 this weekend) on a 32bit system. I will try to find some kind of codec cleaner (something to remove all codecs), then reinstall shark007 again, and see if that helps.
That is what I am saying - but Shark's includes a lot of stuff, and he has been making his pack first for Vista and now for both, so I haven't really tried anything else.
Thanks John, I will pursue this further after I finish my upgrade to 7068.
