Codecs, WMP, and Quicktime problems.

[f1nal_0men]

After a fresh format and install of windows I do what I normally do, installing drives, programs and such. When it comes to Windows Media Player, I installed WMP11, then k-lite codec pack, then quicktime. And I seem to be having some problems I've never had before. For one, WMP wont play movies. Also it has trouble playing some avi files. Well with my problems I figured I re-install would help so I uninstall k-lite codec pack and rollback WMP11 to WMP9, and attempt to uninstall Quicktime... Well now Quicktime doesn't even want to uninstall, in the process it does everything as it should, albeit slow, and when it's done, nothing is changed, I figured I restart was in order so I did and still, nothing has changed, quicktime works perfectly fine even after attempted uninstall. So my question is how do I get my stupid WMP working properly again? How do I uninstall Quicktime? How do I completely remove all codecs that are installed?

K-lite codec pack (full) did NOT include quicktime alternative.
Even after re-installing everything for the second time (except quicktime) I still had the same problems.
I always restarted my computer after any media player or codec was installed.

Thanks for any help.

I just posted something very simular to this in the Video section of Software>XP. Do video's play at all on your media players? do you get corrupt video file & buffer overrun messages? Just wondering if it is the same type of problem? If so maybe it's as much of an isolated problem as what I thought.

you could uninstall the codec pack .....quicktime and then wmp....

reinstall wmp and i suggest u use divx instead of k-lite ..

divx and xvid are more than enough to play any file .....also QT sux big time

should work .... if it doesnt overwrite wmp with a fresh install and install divx and xvid ..
