BSPlayer not playing ASF (WMV/WMA) files
 

It's a common problem from what I see in the search where WMP plays these files but nothing else will. I've done a search and tried everything recommended to no avail. I've tried installing:

WM9Codecs.exe
wmpcdcs8.exe
wmp6cdcs.exe
wmfdist.exe
wmtools.exe
Microsoft MPEG-4 V1/2/3 VKI Codec
Even tried re-installing Direct X

I'm guessing some dll (the one that handles these files) is damaged but a lot of the codecs and apps I've listed above are detecting I already have WMP10 installed and not installing themselves properly (if at all) and of course I can't uninstall Windows Media Player.

I'm at a loss for what to try now so any ideas, advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

asftools
asf indexer ?

Nope no good

I've used GSpot to take a look at my codecs and I've found the problem my DirectShow ASF Filter 'qasf.dll' isn't functional. It's on my PC but just isn't being used

What I should see in GSpot is something similar to this
---------------------------------------------------
DMO MP4S Mpeg4s Decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation qasf.dll --> mp4sdmod.dll
DMO (NA) WMV Screen decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation qasf.dll --> wmsdmod.dll
DMO (NA) WMVideo Decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation qasf.dll --> wmvdmod.dll
DMO MP43 Mpeg43 Decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation qasf.dll --> mp43dmod.dll
DMO MPG4 Mpeg4 Decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation qasf.dll --> mpg4dmod.dll

---------------------------------------------------

What I get however is (ignore the slightly different codecs)
---------------------------------------------------
DMO MP4S Mpeg4s Decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation mp4sdmod.dll
DMO (NA) WMV Screen decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation wmsdmod.dll
DMO (NA) WMVideo 8 Decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation wmv8dmod.dll
DMO (NA) WMVideo 9 Decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation wmv9dmod.dll
DMO WMVA WMVideo Advanced Decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation wmvadvd.dll
DMO (NA) WMVideo Decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation wmvdmod.dll

---------------------------------------------------

Only problem is I don't know how to rectify it.

regsvr32 /s qasf.dll


fixed it!

I AM INVINCIBLE!!
