Thanks! l3codebp.acm is l3codecp.acm, right? What version number (Right
click>>Properties)
Anyway, right click on l3codecx.acm, what is the verstion number and/or
copyright date on it? I'm just interested.
Running regsvr32.exe /u l3codecx.acm should be good. *Then* follow the
steps on that webpage again.
