cannot create direct show player?

[Dakotakid44]

I just did a repair install of Windows and every time I get to a web site that has something to do with music or video it gives me that error message. It's really starting to irritate me, because I have tried uninstalling and installing Windows media player with no success. I also have problems with trying to install Windows updates. Windows will not let me install the updates that I need. I went to the Windows web site and tried to download the necessary updates and it gave me another error message. It downloaded the updates OK and registered them OK, and that's when it happened.

tried it, it did not work. Any other suggestions?

Wow, that's puzzling. Is your video at full "hardware acceleration" (in Display control panel)?

 

[Dakotakid44]

yes it is.
