I am having some major problems watching stuff on my comp, AMV's, AVI backups, etc. It all used to work when i was running XP. I just formatted my HD and installed Win2k, and now no matter what I do, my vids never run correctly. Sure, some run, but then i have block noise problems, choppy frames, excessive skipping on files run from CD-roms. I have tried everything I can possibly think of. Multiple codec packs, (Nimo used to run just fine under XP with the Ffdshow fix), installing individual codecs, uninstalling everything then working with WMP alone with sound codecs, getting the video from the auto updates. I've even uninstalled everycodec for sure by searching for .ax files. This is only a brief description because I'll be AFK for a couple hours, but can someone please help, maybe someone else has freshly installed 2000 and got the same problems. Also, when Nimo is installed, after selecting the DivX 5.02 or whatever filter, it says someting about an error about how the divx5.reg file couldn't be opened from the TEMP directory, or something like that. I must have wasted at least 10 hours trying all sorts of different methods, I'm not new to this. But this is just annoying the @#$% out of me.
---at wits end, please help before i accept it and move on
