    when i was on windows, I always used the coda codec pack, which served me well - installed that, never needed any more, simple installation and uninstallation. all I could need. That was about a year ago.

    Same here, NIMO Codec pack got it all. But I can't agree with the setup, that have worked fine for me. No problems at all.

    This is kind of what i meant in my above post. When i instelld it i choose "full" thinking it would be easier. I go and play somthing which uses a codec which is installed and it just doesnt work. If i uninstalled nimo then used a custom installation method and choose somthing i think i need then install them, they would work. Strange.
