Nothing has fixed the problem.
I have tried all of your solutions to no avail.
I was already a user of Revo Uninstaller and used it as you suggested.
I tried 13.50 and this has the self same "failed to load" error.
Prior to the upgrade to 13.57 I had been able to load MTS files without issue but the 13.57 upgrade seems to have stopped the ability to load MTS files no matter what version of videopad I use! (is there a registry key that Revo didn't remove possibly causing this?)
In all reinstall cases I have cleared out the "Components" folder, used Revo to its fullest and rebooted.
I can load jpeg, mp4 and avi but unfortunately I just came back from Japan with more than 1100 MTS files which I will need to load.
I also tried downloading the MTS files directly from the camera into Video pad with the same failed to load issue.
Thanks for your continued help.

I have installed 13.57 on my other (inferior) machine and it WILL load the same MTS files without problem.
So something has changed on my original machine after the 13.57 upgrade on top of the 13.28.
Any suggestions?
