Movies / Videos No Longer Play - Media Player and Installshield Hang Up
I have run into a frustrating problem of late where I can not longer
view movies/videos on my PC and was hoping someone might have some suggestions. Not only can I not view the videos, but media player locks up and I have to re-boot whenever I try to use it. The sequence of events that got me into this a -My son got an Aiptek IS-DV digital camera for his birthday, so I installed the some of the software on our PC (PowerDirector and Ulead photo editor)to try it out. Everything worked fine: could view videos and view jpgs. -I went to install the drivers for the camera and was prompted for my Windows 98 installation disk. When the program said it couldn't find a file it needed, I made the very dumb mistake of thinking maybe it was on the Windows 95 installation disk, so I loaded that. Some files copied, others didn't so I chose ignore. As might be expected, when the install completed, things did not work properly, so I uninstalled the drivers. -At this point, I realized I could not play videos anymore. To correct, I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling multimedia components for Windows; reinstalling Windows 98; reinstalling media player; reinstalling the camera drivers; all without success. In addition to not being able to use Windows media player, none of my other media players will work either. Nor can I now install PowerDirector as installshield hangs during install. I am running Windows 98SE with Media Player 9 installed. Any suggestions as to what could be the problem would be appreciated. I would have thought that reinstalling Windows would have fixed the problem, but evidently not. Thanks, Joe |
