windows XP update messed up video encoding!

Do not install it if you want encoding to work!!

Befire i installed this update i could encode to mpg without any problems. Now it seems to work ok but audio always drifts out of sync on the encoded file.

Also you cannot uninstall this update after you have installed it. It messes up all your system restore points aswell because i had made some before installing this and they have now vanished. So I am now stuck. I guess the only way i can see to fix this is to do a complete reinstall of Windows XP

A friend of mine also had exactly the same problem after installing this. So avoid this like the plague!

Just out of interest i would like to hear from anyone who has installed this update and NOT had the same probs as me. Also any news of fixes would be appreciated.

Fyi, this was also on my update list, but i never installed it. I noticed yesterday that it no longer appears as available, mayber there was something wrong with it.

no doubt M$ messed with something and broke it. I hope there will be a fix for it....Fingers crossed
