Complicated problem.

About five months ago, Media Center and Media Player stopped wanting to play movie files. They play music fine, but videos, including AVI, MPEG, and so on, nada. I can run them in VLC, but I find VLC fairly cumbersome and, frankly, I'd like the functionality I paid for.

Errors:
C00D11B1
C00D1199

I've tried downloading codec packs. I've tried K-Lite. I've tried CCCP. Nada.

And now, now Windows Movie Maker won't import music. Neither will PhotoStory 3. Are these related?

What can I do?

Anybody?

Check your hardware drivers!

Check them for *what?*

[DaveA]

Go to Start, Right click Computer, select manage. Ok youself through UAC panes, and then select Device manager.

Look to see if you have any issues with your Sound, video and game controlers

No issues. Just to be on safe side tried to update drivers from the context menu. Unable to.

So now what?

Ok, so I'm on the verge of just doing a bloody system recovery.
