Hi Tomaz,
Thanks for your posting back.
I suggest you remove all the Codecs and reinstall them again, and then
check the issue.
As the option "Load startup items", it will load the entries when the
computer starts. For more info, refer to the article:
310353 How to perform a clean boot in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310353
Please let me know the results at your convenience.
Have a nice day!
Thanks & Regards

|Hi
|
| The Media Player version is 9.00.00.3128. I'm usually watching
movies
|compressed with DivX or XVid, but I don't have any codec-identifier
tool to
|know which movie is compressed with which codec. I use fdShow codec
pack
|version 20030523.
| Can you explain what does the option "Load startup items" do? I'm
just
|curious.
|
|regards
|Tomaz
