Hi zaynab-ga,
Reinstalling Media Player will not be of any help, since
mplvpx.dll is not part of WMP. It is part of the Ligos MPEG decoder,
and could have been installed on your computer by other software
applications such as Ulead Video Studio, DVDIt!, Sonic MyDVD etc. This
missing dll problem usually occurs due to improper installation or
uninstallation of the decoder. If your problem also started after you
installed or uninstalled some software, it would help if you could
provide it's name. Most of the software vendors provide a fix for this
error.
The WMP Mini FAQ also mentions this problem with Ligos MPEG
decoder files. See http://www.nwlink.com/~zachd/pss/pss.html#mpeg .
For a simple fix, you can download mplvpx.dll from the Dll-Files
website.
[ http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?mplvpx ].
Copy the file to your System32 folder, or the Windows Media Player
folder, and it should work fine.
You can also find the Ligos MPEG Decoder files as part of the many
Codec packs available on the internet these days. Some such codec
packs are:
- Tsunami Codec & Filter Pack
(http://www.divx-digest.com/software/tsunami_pack.html)
- ACE Mega CodecS Pack
(http://divxstation.com/softwareId.asp?sId=135)
Once you download and install the Ligos decoder, the problem should be
gone.
Try out the above suggestions, and tell me if they help.
If you need any clarifications, just ask.
Regards,
Theta-ga

Theta-ga,
I think you answered the question quite well. I also assume that, if
I re-install Windows 2000 Professional from the Recovery CD and then
re-install all other programs, this problem will be resolved.
Correct?
Thanks,
Zaynab-ga

Hi zaynab-ga,
Reinstalling Windows 2000 will not make any difference, since the
file in question is not part of the operating system(or the Media
Player). If you did not install the Ligos decoder on your system, then
it was probably installed by one of the other applications you
installed.
If you have been able to figure out which application installed
Ligos on your computer, then re-installing that application should fix
the problem. Otherwise, you can try the solutions mentioned in my
previous post.
Hope this helps.
If you need any clarifications, just ask!
Regards,
Theta-ga

Hi Theta-ga,
OK. I see what you're saying. I'm pretty sure that the problem
happened when I un-installed Ulead Video.
If you have any suggestions for this other than what you've already
told me, please let me know. If not, I'll rate the answer.
By the way, I understand that Rating the Answer is the way to get you
paid. Is this true? This is a little confusing. It would be good if
your employers would put a button that says something like "I accept
this question and want to pay for it."
Thanks

Hi zaynab-ga,
I am sorry I was not able to reply to your clarifications request
earlier. My net connection is going through a bad time. :-(
You can try reinstalling Ulead to see if it solves your problem.
Another option is to just install the Ligos MPEG codec from the codec
packs I mentioned previously.
As for your other query, it is not necessary for you to rate the
answer for us to get paid. Once a researcher posts an answer to the
question, he/she gets paid, as long as the customer is satisfied with
the answer and does not ask for a refund. Of course, as researchers,
we always look forward to the customer's rating and comment, as they
enable us to measure how satisfying/useful they found our answer.
Which reminds me...Thanks for the 5 star rating! Glad I was able to
help. :-)
Regards,
Theta-ga
