488861 2006-10-03 11:34:00 Need some advice.
I just downloaded ' Ace Mega Codecs Pack (Every Video Codec You Will Ever Need) '.
The download came through as a 'File'.
I right clicked on the download and went to properties, type of file - File.
I don't know how to install this/or if it needs to be installed.
Any advice would be great:thumbs:

488862 2006-10-03 20:53:00 Normally codec packs come as a packaged .exe file. You'll probably need to rename the file to "filename.exe" (minus the quotes of course).

Run a virus scan over it once you've renamed it & then double click on it to run the installation.

download the required codecs seperately so you don't end up with all the crap most codec packs have packaged.
