Re: 161 Codec in WMP10?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


If you have wmadmod 3646 and drmv2clt.dll 3802, you MUST install the player
again from
http://windowsmedia.com/download
If you have wmadmod 3646 and drmv2clt.dll 4332, you are out of luck at this
point, TMK, unless you can reinstall the MCE roll-up again. It's being
addressed.
