Video player display wrong time of MPG2-files

[Cybid2001]

Hello community!

I hope you can help me resolve the following problem:
I had to reinstall my OS (WinXP) and now have the problem that any video player I use (zoom player, power dvd or MP9) displays a wrong time when I want to play MPG2-file.
For instance, in a 90 min. file (that I have created myself), ZoomPlayer displays a total tiem of only 24 min.). PowerDVD displays a maximum of 1:05 hrs for this file. I know that the file is ok, because everything was ok before I reinstalled.
Even TMPGEnc is screwed up and that's the real problem because it makes exact editing/conversion impossible. After reinstalling I installed
AceMegaCodecPack. Could it be that? And please don't give me the advice to uninstall that, because I screwed that up and now the uninstall routine is gone but the codecs remain.
Is there some "bad" mpg-decoder that my system uses?

I don't want to reinstall Windows!

Thanks for reading (and hopefully answering)!

It sounds like a codec problem. My advice is to uninstall the codec

You should be able to remove the offending Video Codec in the Video Codecs Properties:

Open Control Panel.
Click Sounds and Audio Devices.
Click the Hardware tab.
Select Video Codecs.
Click Properties.
Click the Properties tab.

Thanks for your reply!

I tried to do that but I get an error message concerning "shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL "C:\WINDOWS\System32\MMSYS.CPL", @0".
Then, the window crashes.

Any idea what that might mean?

If I chose to reinstall everything *sigh*, which codec pack would you recommend: Nimo or Ace?
Not that I want to reinstall... (but a fresh, corrupted system is not a nice perspective)
