Your codecs disappeared due to XviD-1.2-127-Uninstaller:

as the title,how should I do?
I search the forum and it seemes that the vidccleaner is designed to do the things contrary to what I said:confused:

It seems that you ran the xvid uninstaller which was included in my build until 31st of december, 8:30 a.m. MET. Which I posted here is a bad thing to do together with a fix (re-read forum rule 1: use the search! it's in the xvid-1.1-final thread); which I posted at my site that it's a bad thing to do.

You can try this though: http://www.free-codecs.com/guides/How_to_install_default_codecs_in_Windows_XP_2000.htm

great thx to koepi~
I had red this for several times

I apologize for the mess. The new installer (8:30a.m. middle european time) doesn't kill all your codec entries on uninstall anymore. If you downloaded my build before, please download the new installer and just run it; this will overwrite the faulty uninstaller.

but I didnt fully understand your words......what a fool I am!


thx

Phew..I was just about to do a repair install of Windows XP. Fortunately I happened to wander around the XviD forum:)

ohh MY!!!! :-D
My codecs !!!

So it was the xvid installer.... ok, it does not matter, i just use FFDSHOW.
A reinstallation fixed my problem, but thanks for the fix.
Those things sometimes happens..

Thanks Koepi

Hy Koepi, can you please advise exactly which registry keys are deleted?

So far I've recovered:
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc

and things look like they're getting back to normal, but have I missed anything?

Thanks.

Dom.

yeah, hi Koepi

can you also confirm for me which reg keys get blitzed
I too have recovered the above 2 keys from a previous reg-dump from a month ago

btw, I installed the new installer overtop of the previous version, but the uninstall still corrupted my reg

I've subsequently tried to re-install and uninstall and the reg keys were unscathed - I'm not sure the over-the-top-install made use of the new uninstaller the first time round for some reason...
