WFP.dll cache
WMI DB
IIS Metabase

Less of the grief man - im only trying to point out your inadequacies

Yeh yeh I should read the windows for dummies book too.

STILL this is not a method of restoring something as simple as a few codecs. Why rollback profiles too or is there an option to exclude them ?

Anyway I've had sys restore fail on me before - its not a robust solution nor does it answer

" How do you re-install broken codecs or for that matter ANY generic windows component "

Thanks all sorry for sounding vexed looks like I'm going for a re-install and will be leaving system restore on this time thanks Blueraja - no hard feelings mate

Just turn it off on any secondary partitions or hard drives and save off local

attached file is said key open it and double click it should rewrite the key

HMMMMmmmmmm theres an idea thanks for that mate : I should have just exported the keys from a working machine and tried that also :

I'll give this a shot later on 2nite when I get back and after the machine has finished dumping over the network

Nice 1 mate : Only just got back and its fixed it but I am still considering the wipe down of the machines as performance is a bit on the sucky side.
