Re: Error with Windows Media Video 9 codec


I think that's just CCCP being boneheaded. What are the file versions on
the two files? What precise version of CCCP did you install? I'm less than
amused. If you can get me that information, we should be able to get CCCP
fixed up. =\

I don't believe WMV9VCM was ever part of a Windows OS distribution, so it
shouldn't be affected by SFC.

I've been having trouble with some videos playing without sound. I
thought this was an audio codec problem, but I downloaded the Sherlock
program and got this message:

Warning: The following codecs were found broken:

"Video Codecs:

1. Microsoft Windows Media Video 9 (C:\WINDOWS\system32\c:
\PROGRA~1\COMBIN~1\Filters\wmv9vcm.dll)"

This is clearly a mistake. There's a wmv9vcm.dll in C:\Windows
\system32 and a wmv9vcm.dll in c:\Program Files\Combined Community
Codec Pack\Filters, but, of course, there's no directory C:\WINDOWS
\system32\c:\PROGRA~1\COMBIN~1\Filters\.

Could this be a registry file issue? If not, what may be wrong? Thanks.
