Hi,
I've got a few media files wanted to be played back. When I listened to them
with windows 98 media player, everything went fine. But when being played on
windows xp, it requires codecs files. Where can I download these codecs?
Thanks
Jack

Search for, download and install K-Lite Codec Pack.
I suggest "Basic".

Some codecs are already included in XP. But sometimes not switched on. To
check if yours are switched on:
Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Hardware > slide down to Device
'Audio Codecs', Double click to open > Check that device is working on
General tab > Choose Properties Tab > this lists installed codecs , if
double click into each and check that radio button 'use this audio codec' is
selected.

Hope this helps

When you installed K-Lite Codec Pack - you got media Player Classic.. Does
it play with that? It is the same as the Windows 98 version.

Do the files play with another player?
