Please log in for more thread options I get this message when I try MC after restarting computer. I wish the
message was clear which app is causing it. I don't think it has anything to
do with any other apps using the decoder.
I did ran decoder check and i have power dvd decoder and it is set as
prefered. I have Nero decoder that it says not compatible.
I also noticed that windows update trying to install rollup 2 and it fails.
I have roll up installed as of 12/17/2005. It seems that it is corrupted. Now
I am trying to remove it to reinstall, it gives me message that many other
apps will not work.
