John O'Neill("Ogg DirectShow Filter" question)
 

:confused: Hi,
What's this then? "Ogg DirectShow Filter" icon that has appeared at the bottom of my desk top? I can't play any video, as it seems to have disabled my Media Player 11, and sometimes if I bring up task manager my CPU is at %100. This happened after I downloaded an AVI file and tried to play it.
Any ideas, please help, I'm snookered.

What did you do before that?

Do you use Phex?

No, I didn't know Phex existed, and to be honest I dont know what "Phex" is! I am just looking for an answer to a problem which has bugged me on and off for a year or so, and the annoying thing is that it appears to have "cured" itself. I dont know what I did, but it's gone!! Any ideas?

Phex is a Gnutella program which accesses the same network as LimeWire, but which is developed by another group of developers, who develop in their free time, so it isn't backed nor restricted by the need to make money.

It is a good deal fairer to your CPU (at least compared to LimeWires a year ago, I didn't test LW since), and it offers you some advanced configuration and other functionality not found in LW (you can get an overview on our features page: http://wiki.phex.org/Features )

The problem might have disappeared over a restart.

You could be right about the restart. I've downloaded Phex and I'll give it a go, I'll let you know how I get on.
