:-[ Help! I was fiddling around with MC14 (which I shouldn't have been) and added "Chorus" sound effect (I think from another media player). It showed up as available when I clicked on "Add DirectShow DSP Filter" after clicking on "Add Plug-In". The effect was to render all other DSP effects inoperable and revert the audio signal to Mono. What is the process for "uninstalling" any Plug-Ins one has installed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Player/Playback Options/DSP Studio. Uncheck the plug-in.
If that doesn't work, rename it in Windows Explorer.

:-[ Uhh...Thanks, Jim H. I guess it helps if I looked around the menu trees a bit, because I found "Plug In Manager", and it allowed me to uninstall the offending Plug In. Now, though, when I replay CD's, there is an intermittent click/skip at irregular intervals, and for the half second of the skip, it sounds like the sound field has changed, as if some effect has been applied. I am positive it wasn't there before. I hate to be a proverbial pain, but I am uncertain if this is as a result of the darn plug in that disabled the rest (BTW, even if it was UNCHECKED) or another problem. I thought of myself as relatively computer literate, but obviously I need help to find my own butt in a phonebooth if I missed Plug In Manager somehow. This new issue, though, is really beyond me and makes the songs virtually unlistenable. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Did you reboot? You could also try a reinstall.
The "Weird Problems" link in my signature has several posts on sound problems caused by other software or hardware.

I believe the "Chorus" plug-in is a "DMO Audio Effects" filter, probably provided by Microsoft.
If you uninstalled it from Plug-in manager, it should not be playing a role. To be sure, you can bring out DSP Studio while the audio is playing, and check to see which plug-in is being used (which one has the checkbox checked). All installed plug-ins show up in the DSP Studio, but only the ones with a check mark are being used.
