I removed all avi related dx & ax files. This caused me to be unable to play avi files. Thus, I reinsalled winamp & windows media player 10. And all of a sudden everything worked fine ?
I guess I managed to remove the shift-key hijacking avi splitter.
Thanks for all your help.

Did you reinstall with the original installs you had, or did you go and get the latest installers for these?.
it may well be that the new installers (if you got these) had updated CODECS. Or - possibly - reinstalling again makes them pull newer CODECS off the web. Just guesssing here
If that was the case - you would think the things pulled inthe latest CODECS auto-magically. But that would not seem to be the case?.
I have noticed that the Windows player only sems to put up the option to pull down a new CODEC if you get a film or track which has one that is new to it. And, you have to be running the app directly to do so.
I'll need to see if there is some sort of function on it whereby you could ask it to go get the latest CODECS from the update site all by itself?. Without having to de-install and re-install the entire application!.
