| 380147 | 2005-08-12 06:27:00 | ... any ideas ? ?What about johnboy's suggestion about checking for spyware/malware? Have you done this yet and machine came up clear? | Jen (38) | ||
| 380148 | 2005-08-12 09:51:00 | Bingo !! adaware came up with 1 single suspect thing which was to do with registry lock out...after deletetion it worked no problems :thumbs: thanks btw speedy i dont know what editing the registry has to do with codecs but this is what the readme said.... To set up Intel I263 & I420 CODEC's under NT 4.0 do the following: Copy these Files to the WINNT\SYSTEM32 Subdirectory : i263_32.drv icm32.acm The above files are the video CODEC and the audio CODEC. Then Merge the VIDCI263.reg into the NT registry by double clicking it. |
