Re: latest windows update apparently broke MP 11 for Vista, SP1

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

Apparently so via Vista Codec Package.

Is FFDShow or AC3filter on your system?

Before yesterday, everything was OK. Today, after the 15 updates, there's no sound in Media Player at all, for any format, including WMA. The Media Player sound control isn't set to mute, nor is Vista itself. Sounds play fine, and other media players (WinAmp, etc.) play perfectly. Speakers test fine in Vista Sound Control Panel applet.

I'm going to try System Restore, but that's gonna block all the updates and they're gonna be downloaded and installed again, probably breaking Media Player again.

Any idea what the problem is and when/how to fix?

Thanks,
John
