    New install of Win 7 - WMC cant find video decoders


    I've just had to reinstall Win 7 on my HTPC (hardware problem) all the installation went OK but when I start WMC it has all the channels in the guide but when you click to play it tells me it cant find video decoders.
    Something I've never struck before.

    Solved the problem after a lot of thinking - was the AMD Catylist Control center causing the problem.
