lmpgspl.ax problem

[Mariap]

I keep having problems with this codec and I don't know if that is the reason
why I can't use the Windows Movie maker, besides everytime that I try
downloading videos I keep getting this error messages regarding lmpgspl.ax
and some Regsvr32. I have no idea what that is and I really don't understand
how to solve the problem with it. I tried following every step that Windows
gave me for solving the troubleshoot problems with lmpgspl.ax but they just
won't work!! And when trying to unregister the codec there's some kind of
error message that doesn't make sense. I would really appreciate any help. I
have a Compac computer with Windows Vista, and it doesn't seem ok that it's
having so many problems, because it's practically new. Thank you very much!

I have no idea what steps "Windows" gave you for solving the problem,
but try the following:

There are a couple of different fixes for this depending on what you
have installed on your system.

1. If you have Nero, update to the very latest version. You would get
the latest version from Nero's website.

2. Unregister the Ligos codecs (lmpgspl.ax, etc.). To do this, click on
the Start Orb and type "cmd.exe". Then right-click on Cmd and choose Run
As Administrator. You will see the cmd prompt. At the prompt, type:

regsvr32 /u lmpgsl.ax [enter]

You'll get a confirmation box saying the unregistration was successful.
Do this for every codec for which you get the error.

3. If after the unregistering you get an error that the codec can't be
found, log into an account with administrative privileges. Go to Control
Panel>Folder Options>View. Set the options to see all hidden files.

Now go to C:\Windows\System32 and find the .dll for which you got the
error. Right-click on it and Rename to (ex.) lmpgsl.ax.bak. Log off and
go back to your regular account and see if you can play the movie file
by double-clicking on it now. You should not get the error any more.
