DD 1.4i seems to ignore guids.ini file

I was playing around with the guids.ini file (tyring different codecs etc) and hosed myself; only 1 video codec showed up in list (null) and two audio codecs (null and AC3). Not a big deal restored the original guids.ini file thinking that I could get back to the default settings (of course I restarted DD); but nope.

I re-installed DD, erased all stuff and bam, still the same behaviour, DD seems not to read the codecs from the guids.ini file. I am stumped! Any suggestions?

I have included the guilds.ini so you can see it (but It is the one from the re-install).

wild guess

Double click ddreg.bat

or download and install direct show filter manager and verify that ddsource.ax is registered and any codec which you want the guids file to enable.
