Uninstall video and audio codecs

[calamar]

Hi:

In Windows XP, I could uninstall some audio or video codecs through
the Hardware Manager in "Sound, video and game controllers" and "Video
codecs" and "Audio codecs".

But in Windows Vista, there's no "Audio/Video codecs" under "Sound,
video and game controllers". I need to uninstall an awful video codec
that just gives some problems on playback.

What's the way to unistall audio/video codecs in Windows Vista
simmilar to Windows XP? I have Windows Vista 64bit Home Premium.

Thanks!

try running this as administrator by right clicking on it and selecting run
as administator if it gives you problems

Thanks, I did not know about this program. Downloading now...

"amt creations" (or better, "@mt Creations") is nothing special, just
a way of "signing" works, designs, etc. "amt" comes from the first
letter of my name and surnames.

For what it's worth, that tool never worked great in previous versions of
Windows, so it's much less deceptive to *not* have that broken functionality
visible. =\

I try to uninstall that rubish of MPEG4 video codec and now videos
play properly and with any problem.

Thanks for your support.
