Thanks for all this guys.

Could someone please tell me what/where 'ffdshow' is. Is it a setting in Media Player, SH4 or somewhere else? I have searched my comp for files or text containing 'ffdshow' and came up with zilch.

Cheers

I suspect you'll have to download ffdshow and install it off the Net. Hopefully someone can post a URL here. Until then, try clicking on Start -> All
Programs - > Automatic update and run that to see if the Ms updater detects an upgrade to your Media Player. That might be the fastest way to get going.

The only way you can access this is with a codec tool like gspot. You won't find a file you can delete, as it's a function of the API/codec used to decode and display the video

Go here for gspot: http://www.headbands.com/gspot/

Be sure to read the info in the "Suoer quick start for newbies" link on the gspot page.

It may also be partly your video drivers fault. The latest ones from nvidia (163.71) break many video codecs.

I rebuilt my machine from scratch and the only thing added was DirectX9.0c before loading subsim. It worked fine. Therefore i would say its something added not something you are lacking. GSpot tells you what codec is required to play something - but its supposed to play this out of the box.
