solve the problem with lmpgspl.ax

[Guest]

ok, in my old computer I was able to edit clips and make home videos with no
problems, it just took for ever because it was so old. Now on my new computer
with Windows Vista, after I edit my clips with 'Windows Movie Maker' and hit
'publsih video' it gives me this error message:

"Follow these steps to solve the problem with lmpgspl.ax (Follow the steps
in the article to unregister this binary, e.g. regsvr32 /u lmpgspl.ax)
This problem was caused by lmpgspl.ax (Follow the steps in the article to
unregister this binary, e.g. regsvr32 /u lmpgspl.ax). lmpgspl.ax (Follow the
steps in the article to unregister this binary, e.g. regsvr32 /u lmpgspl.ax)
was created by Ligos Corporation."

and it give me these two links:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=249873
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=177323

What do they mean? . . . I have no idea . . . all I know is that I can't
publish my videos and I don't know how to fix this (

Any help or anyone who can guide me the right direction will be greatly
appriciated )

Do you have the file or are you graspping at straws. In Movie Maker look on
Tools - Options - Compatability and see if it's there.

Thanks for replying . . . I have all the clips, they are "*.ASF" files and I
didn't have a problem using them in my old computer and now on this one it
doesn't publish the video after I edit them . . . weird . . .

I looked under tools, are you refering to "Fliters"? I don't know what I'm
looking at or what to check of . . . sorry . . . I'm such a newb . . .

As it is the only item on the page I suppose I am talking about filters. Is
your filter listed there?

If so untick it.

Also Help menu - About - Technical Info button and look for these twp
tables,

MPEG/DVD Filters

Video Codecs

Sorry about that, what filter am I looking for? I see about 8 of them. Please
bear with me, I know that these help to view video as well as hear the audio
when importing them or publishing them. But I have no idea what to check off
or leave on.

I just went through this for a client. The errors occur because the
Ligos codecs installed aren't really Vista-compatible.

There are a couple of different fixes for this depending on what you
have installed on your system.

1. If you have Nero, update to the very latest version.

2. Unregistering the Ligos codecs (lmpgspl.ax, etc.). To do this, click
on the Start Orb and type "cmd.exe". Then right-click on Cmd and choose
Run As Administrator. You will see the cmd prompt. At the prompt, type:

regsvr32 /u lmpgsl.ax [enter]

You'll get a confirmation box saying the unregistration was successful.
Do this for every codec for which you get the error. My client's box had
about 4 of these codecs.

3. If after the unregistering you get an error that the codec can't be
found, log into an account with administrative privileges (you should
create at least one extra account like this for emergencies). Go to
Control Panel>Folder Options>View. Set the options to see all hidden
files. You'll get several *.ini files on the Desktop - ignore them
because you aren't going to use this account for anything but
emergencies - or you can go back to Folder Options and hide the
protected files when you're done.

Now go to C:\Windows\System32 and find the .dll for which you got the
error. Right-click on it and Rename to (ex.) lmpgsl.ax.bak. Log off and
go back to your regular account and see if you can play the movie file
by double-clicking on it now. You should not get the error any more.

Thank You Malke!

I was able to go in and type:

regsvr32/u lmpgspl.ax

and now I'm able to publish my video from Windows Movie Maker, the only
problem is that the finished product has sound but no picture. I never really
had a problem viewing clips because I only viewed the clips in Windows Movie
Maker, edit them, and then publish the finished product. Now I can publish
but no picture (... weird

I was wondering . . . how can I get a picture back and will buying a new
video camera get rid of this problem?
