    Media player repair

    I installed a bad Sipro codec (an MS webcast needed it) and now Media player
    locks up on these webcasts. I have to kill the process via Task manager.
    I tried to back out the install via the steps in the .inf, but I still have
    the issue.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to repair/reinstall wmp11 in vista?

    Thanks, Rick

    eh, I didn't take a snapshot before installing. My solution was to just
    slick the box
    Dramatic perhaps, but effective.
