Hi Everyone,

Been awhile since i posted, but i ran into a problem yesterday which i fixed and i thought i'd share it. First off, I'm running XP Pro on a Gen2 XPS with the 6800Go card.

Basically the issue seems to be if you have Nero 6 installed and then you install Nvida PureVideo, the Nero 6 DirectShow filters over-ride the Nvidia ones. I think this issue though could extend to other programs like Nero that install their own proprietary DirectShow filters as well.

I installed Nvidia PureVideo (Latest version, available from here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html) with the intention of watching dvds through Windows Media Player (10). Basically there was no audio and no video in WMP . Here's what i did to fix it:
  1. See what DirectShow Filters you have installed first. Install the Microsoft Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
  2. Download this little program ( There's no installer and it's just one file so don't worry about bogging your system down. It's like a little registry editor ): http://www.radlight.org/products/fil...ager/index.php
  3. Unregister the Nero DirectShow Filters, or whatever offending program showed up in that Mircrosoft utility you installed in step 1.
  4. Reinstall the Nvidia PureVideo decoder
  5. Restart Windows

This worked for me, and I hope that it helps someone else out in the future who wants to use Nvidia's PureVideo decoder with their Nvidia Go6800.
