[QUOTE="gregpeters, post: 576616, member: 81349"] [b]How to remove unwanted DirectShow filters[/b] Hi Hoborg, is there a way to remove unwanted DirectShow filters prior to installing SAF? Alternatively, is there a "white" or "black list" of DirectShow filters, respectively? I'm asking this question as I tried SAF before but I couldn't make it work. This might be due to the fact that even I uninstalled PowerDVD, DivX, FFDSHOW etc. prior to installing SAF there still might me some registered filters interfering with SAF. I don't want to reinstall my XP SP3 OS as this is simply too much effort. However, I'd like to set up a "clean" environment for installing SAF. Therefore, I thought about unregistering unwanted filters e.g. with GraphStudio (and of course, make a complete back up of my system prior to that!). I'm thinking of a procedure like this: [LIST=1] [*]Uninstalling PowerDVD, FFDshow, etc e.g. with "Revo Uninstaller" [*]unregistering of all unwanted filers (e.g. all non system filters with the help of ZoomPlayer) [*]installing SAF [/LIST] What do you think? (as mentioned above, I'd definitely back up my entire system before giving this a try) Has anybody else tried a similar approach? Cheers, greg [/QUOTE]
