RC4: Configuration.exe Fails....NOW FIXED!!

For all you guys trying to start RC4's Configuration.exe and getting nowhere just like me, I finally found the problem!:lol: with MY setup anyway!

I had a look at the config.exe log file to see how far MP got before it went into exception mode & shut down. In MY case, it got as far as loading the DVD codec's......well, it started to then Whammo! rest of the log file was blank. So I got to thinking there must be a broken or corrupt Mpeg2 codec in my system somewhere, right?? :idea:

I then ran Sherlock to see what all the fuss was about but nothing showed up as being "broken", not working or otherwise. Hmmm.
Not happy with "Sherlock Holmes" and his sloppy detective work, I thought I would do some of my own detection! I installed the K-Lite codec pack..... :shock: (BOY, I CAN HEAR THE ROAR FROM THE MASSES ALL THE WAY DOWN UNDER...!!!) Relax, I didn't really install it....just the "Detect & Fix" codec options at the bottom! 8)

Well, bugger me! It found 15 broken, corrupt, part installed or otherwise non working codecâ€™s! So obviously I selected to remove them, re-booted and then re-installed MP RC4........PRESTO!!
Configuration.exe starts up and works like a charm.

That's MY problem solved and I HOPE this process will help some of you other MP users too! :wink: :wink:

Cheers, Yogi.
