I did an update sometime in the past and installed windows media 9. I've noticed recently that i cant view any streaming with win 9. By messing around ive sussed out its due to the codecs i have "Ace mega codecs" installed. I could uninstall the codecs but to be honest i dont want to. Uninstall windows media 9 i hear you say. Well it seems its a pain in the arse to do this and would require me doing a restore to when it was installed.

So any ideas folks. ie what codecs could i install that dont conflict with media player 9. Or if i did do a restore. what player would work with the codecs i have and also enable streamin.

Please help. I spent 6 hours today takin one step forward and two back and am close to throwin this f****n think through the window
