    That's good news! I think you should test your Media player to see if it plays back files correctly. And see if your CD works. Playback and if it is a CD burner, if that works too.

    There are all kinds of things which can go corrupt when you install new Codecs and/ or Roxio Software and /or update Media Player.

    I don't know what to tell you about the email. Can you review what's happeneing again for me please? And do you open your emails using Outlook Express?

    start / programs it is still there.
    If you right click on that, is it just a shortcut or an actual program?

    I figured out why you didn't get a filters.txt

    The forum software added a space in the name of the key we were trying to export. Since that didn;t exist, there was not key exported.

    Let's do this again. Download the zip and extract the bat file it contains. Run that and post the contents of filters.txt please.

    After another review of your uninstall list, you had installed aspi. That may have contributed to your troubles. Leave it installed though. We'll have to check to be sure all your multimedia and CD functions are working and then, if not, do some repairs.

    At this point, my best advice would be not to make any more of these changes.

    With the email, I run Incredimail Premium which I think is an add on to Miscrosoft Outlook.

    Everything was working ok until 30/12/06. For a couple of days I couldn't open up any emails I'd received previous to this date, all I got was a blank screen. Now what happens is that I open a kept email and I get the message from another email in the same window...

    This can be from new emails received or ones that have been sent.

    IE, If I open up a confirmation email from a recruitment agency, I get the details of an email that I sent from work yesterday. Some though are still blank.

    DIVX - When I go into to start / programs the DIVX bundle is there (divx convertor, player, uninstall etc).

    The CD disappearing is why we needed that registry file. The UpperFilters and LowerFilters values need to be deleted.

    I have attached a new zip. Extract the regfile it contains and then double click on that. Say yes to the prompt.

    Restart and see if the drive's back. If not, then go into the drivers folder again and find the same two files you renamed earlier.

    In the Drivers folder, find this file:
    Cdr4_2K.sys

    Rename it as Cdr4_2K.sysold

    Then find this file in the Drivers folder:
    Cdralw2k.sys

    Rename it as
    Cdralw2k.sysold

    **They shoud have been replaced by File Protection during your last restart. Rename them and run the attached registry file again. Restart.

    See where you stand and let me know please. I don't want to make any more changes until this is settled. Please test your CD drive and if it's a writer, see if that works.

    Are you using Outlook ,a part of Office? Or Outlook Express?

    I'm wondering if your inbox is corrupt.

    I see you have two uninstall entries for Incredimail.

    And if you are file sharing, I would recommend you stop. I see WinMX on the uninstall list.

    Many infections are spread through file sharing. It's bad enough when you have the ability to repair or totally reinstall Windows. But you have nothing. You absolutely have to get a legitimate install CD or a new system. Otherwise you'll never know when you'll lose everything. Hardware dies. And Windows does too.

    Hi ya,

    I'm having trouble with the zip file, when I extract it, it just replaces the filters.txt file I've already got with:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]
    "UpperFilters"=-
    "LowerFilters"=-

    As it's a normal txt file, when I double click it just opens & display this info... Is this correct?

    We are using Microsoft Outlook 2000 Office.

    We've never had any problems with Outlook or Incredimail until now.
