do you have the xvid codec? if not, get it in the nimo codec pack, along with any other codec, but dont get the same of each type.

[hslipf]

ive heard things bout that pack & adware?
& what do u mean by "dont get the same ones"?

[chickeneater]

like say there is an ac3 decoder called .52 standard. and another one called intervideo ac3 decoder. only get one of the two(or more) things. only the divx pro codec in the bundle has adware. nothing else that i know of does.
