Hi,
I can't get ANY of my mpegs to run on windows XP. This has been going on
for about a month and I am just about at a complete loss of how to get this
fixed outside of REINSTALLING WinXP again.

Anyone had this problem and how did you fix?

Please help.

If they are MPEG2 files, you need DVD decoding software to play them.... do
you have WinDVD or PowerDVD installed? Perhaps you need to reinstall
whichever application have to play DVD files.

Hi Cari,
Thanks for the response.

I did reinstall Nero. I can play the vids on Nero Showtime. However, they
will not play in IrfanView 3.97.

Again, thanks for the advice.
