New here and already stuck with ultimate x64

Hi guys,

I'm new on here from the UK :) Ok here's my problem....

Since my system picked up a "virus". I booted back up in safe mode and deleted all the files manually and used a program called "your uninstaller" to clean up the registry as windows uninstaller kept getting stuck on a .dll file.

ok this is what i've done so far:

1) updating the driver (no update available)
2) uninstall the driver and reboot.
3) pull my hair out

It just won't play dvd's or let me see any data on them, they appear blank even though i know they arent (after checking them on another machine). But it will play cd's fine.

Very confusing... Please help :D

Oh dear i'm not doing very well so far.

Hello Disco Stu, welcome to Vista forums!

I just clicked the link skunksmash posted and I got an option to "Run or Save" the codec.
So I believe the link is good.














Later :shock: Ted

Ah ok i have it now.... flashget wasn't picking it up as it should! I have also done a system restore and again nothing. I tested my system again with my vista ultimate dvd and the movie 3 kings (not a copy) and they take their time but they load up. The vista dvd was a lot quicker than the movie, though.

Thanks again for all your help guys, this forum rocks :-)

Thanks again for the replies. Ok i have followed those instruction and the upper filter and lower filter are not there. If i try and open the sub directory which is "properties" i am given an access denied message, although i'm not 100% sure i suspect this is probably correct.

I have also tried the codec pack and they did not work. I'm running out of things to do lol!

Might be time for a new drive. Still don't know what drive you have or the firmware version.
