hi:

got www.lavasoftusa.com

download ad-aware and do the scan

this will detect adbots and spyware that will mess with your system

delete everything it finds

try the files again

if you get problems you must have downloaded a bad codec

nimco codec pack made a similar problem for me so if you have that installed
uninstall it and try the file again

if it wont play but does not crash you've found the source and we'll help you find the proper codec

please post your results

cheers

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
