Help Removing Video Codec!

[Guest]

Some how I installed the wrong codecs on my PC and now my videos all
play with error in the video. I'm running Windows Xp Pro SP2 on a ATI radeon
9600. I want to remove all the codecs on my PC and start from scratch but I
don't know how. I've removed all the ones from my add/remove progams but I
still have a bunch installed. Does anyone know how to remove them? I've
tried going into device manager and removing all the ones under video codecs
but they all come back as soon as I close the window. I never made a restore
point so I can't fix it that way. Is there any program that will remove
these, or another way I could do this! PLEASE HELP! I don't want to
reformat again!

Try doing a System Restore, Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools >
System Restore. Follow the wizard and choose an earlier restore point before
this issue came up.

Download the free Zoom Player Standard. It allows viewing of the filters.
You can change the merit numbers on video decoders or unregister them as
desired
other utilities to tinker with codecs are:
