Can anybody suggest a codec that works for WMP under XP? Vista and Windows
7 WMPs have an AAC built in, but not XP. I know that WMP works with an AAC
codec under XP because one machine I have uses it, but I can't figure out
which codec it is or how/when it was installed. I'm trying to find a codec
I can use for an installation across many XP computers.
Anyone?

video player that replaces the microsoft version. Much less intrusive.

Never met a video I can't play with it.

PS If you want to get radical, try VLC

MULTI-posted in other newsgroups. Now you'll have to remember to which
other newsgroups you multi-posted and go check each of them for replies
instead of keeping the discussion within a single CROSS-posted thread
across multiple related newsgroups.

the install menus carefully. The alternative video player is optional,
but recommended.

Not only that, but people who have taken their valuable time to
research and write a thoughtful reply will often find that someone else
has already answered the question in another group and they've wasted
their time. This has happened to me enough times that if I notice that
the message is a multi-post, I won't bother to get involved even if I
know the answer. Like this time.

In article <k822nl$gd1$1...@dont-email.me>, sfdavi...@yahoo.com says...
Try Winamp, VLC or MPC. Let me know how that works out.

Could be you refreshed your the list in your newsreader (Gravity) for
this newsgroup or just subscribed to this newssgroup which then
retrieved some old articles but you neglected to notice the dates on
those old posts. It happens.
Perhaps you are drudging up old posts because of the low volume of
traffic in this newsgroup but you want to participate now. While also
not super high in traffic, you can also visit the alt.os.windows.xp or
alt.os.windows-xp newsgroups.

Again you are posting way too late. Kaye has not been waiting 28 months
for a reply.

Oh, and there is also the more busy microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
newsgroup. Just because Microsoft left Usenet after being here only a
short time doesn't mean the microsoft.public.* newsgroups went away.
