Installing Audio Codec

[Debbie]

Hi All,

How do I go about installing a mp3 codec in WinXP. I only have the files.

Regards,

I would think you would have to register some of the files, what kind of files are they?

usually it would be something like

regsvr32 c:\filepath\filename.ext

[Debbie]

.acm files residing is system32, WinXP

[Marshmallowman]

open up your command prompt, and go to your c:\windows\system 32 directory

and type

regsvr32 l3codeca.acm

(substitute whatever file your registering with l3codeca.acm )

and press return, you should get a successfully registered mesage.

to unregister the file just put slash u in front. eg

regsvr32 /u l3codeca.acm

Thanks mate. I'll try it.

Import this .reg to your Registry, it will add "Register" and "Unregister" right-click-commands to DLL's and OCX's

[Debbie]

Thanks addis. Will it work on acm's ?

PS.

I have just discovered. No it will not register acm's.

Perhaps a line or two can be entered in the reg file ?

[Debbie]

Addis, I hope you do'nt mind I have just edited the reg file and included acm's. I appears to be working.
