How do I ...........

I can only play a couple of mp3's & video's only in WMP. How do I find out what codec they need? Already got the nimo & divx. And how do I install said codec? Like just another exe? Thanks.

you can use either avicodec or gspot.

codecs usually come either with an installer as a .exe (=>double click starts installation)
or with an installer as a .inf
in the second case, right-click the .inf and select "install" in the contextual menu.

some filters will need manual registration: copy the .ax file in your c:\windows\system32 directory (this for 2k/XP; for 98/Me, it's system )
then start-->run
type regsvr32.exe name_of_file

Thanks. Now I gotta figure out how to get BSP to play my removeable media (cd's). It's my default player for all my media on HDD. Just can't get it to play my CD's.
