Thanks, but i have done so on 3 of the computers, i have also tried to
upgrade winDVD and Mediaplayer, i have tried downloading the latest Direct-x,
and 2 of the computers i have re-installed totally.
The problem seems to appear on computers that have downloaded mediaplayer9
and e "codec-patch" from windows update, so today we will try to find out
wich codex-files we have on the computers with error and on the computers
without error - and if that dosen't help - i will re-install all of the
computers with error - we are running out of time and our users are getting
angry :-(
