ATI WDM Specialized MVD Codec (Microsoft) service failed to start....

February 15, 2008

Hello all.

Here is the error detail that I am getting. What I did was originally

install a Radeon 7000 with TV Out but elected to downgrade the video

to an older regular Rage card. But now am getting this error below.

The drivers which were originally installed was by the installation of

Windows 2003 server. So there is nothing under Add/Remove Programs for

ATI. I tried removing any registry entry involving WDM and Radeon 7000

but still get this error. If anyone can tell me how to disable this

service which is not found under the list of services or also under

msconfig would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I would attempt a cleanup by delving into the registry, backup and delete

one entry at a time in the following key - be careful!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
