HELP!

I run Windows 2000 and ever since I installed DirectX 8.1, TMPGEnc crashes whenever I try to select a .mpa (mpeg audio, comes out of DVD2AVI) file as the audio portion of an MPeg that I want to make into an XVCD. It worked flawlessly prior to installing that. (OK, that is approximately when it happened, there may have been some other program that I loaded, I don't remember exactly.)

I have narrowed it down to the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader, because if I uncheck that in TMPGenc's Environmental settings, I get the "unsupported file" message, but with it enabled, I get the "Program has errored, writing a long" message.

Is there a way to uninstall directx? Is this in fact what is causing the problem? I have re-installed DirectX in case it was corrupted and this has no effect.

MS Media Player can play these files fine. If I boot into Win98, I can encode fine, it's just (!@#$@#$@#) Win2K.

Any suggestions?

HELP!
