Just emaild Ward (Spider creator).
Hope to get a reply sometime soon - I'll post his reply.

Done the latest media player fix??

not sure what you mean.
I use Irfanview and WMP 6.4

now that you mention it, something happened that I had to reassign Irfanview as default for jpegs the other day...

Also, winamp wouldn't play it's radio type feature anymore the other day so I decided to rid of it - been planning to try reinstallt.

Whatcha getting at?

EDIT:
thought I was up to date on security for WMP 6.4 but apparently I wasn't - just installed wm308567.exe vulnerability update.
think it might somehow be related?

Well, looks like I"ve got it!
I read over the related posts in the 3 related threads
(this thread, the other one and this one at TSG - Nix's post about this prob occurinng after messin round in the reg got me wondered about the registry some more...
decided to try resoring earlest reg copy I had via scanreg restore and was unsuccessful trying 3 different reg copies...
that prompted me to go for the scanreg fix...
Did that
After reboot, I immediately ran Spider successfully!

Now...
I wonder how scanreg fix has affected all the little tweaks and hacks, etc that I've done over the past few years :confused: :eek: :confused:

thanks for all the support...
any guesses as to what the hey happened and what I might have done to the system by using scanreg fix?
