-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Active X Question

Don, thank you so very much for this tip and the information.  I am printing 
it off so I will be sure to do it all right.  I do have one question as I 
re-read what you have sent.  I presume any codec packs will be in the 
add/remove program?  I did not see any in there.  Is the codec pack the same 
as a decoder?  I found and ran MicroSoft Windows XP decoder checkup utility 
to see if I needed a new decoder and it appeared I did not have any, or any 
that worked.
If the codec packs are not in add/remove programs, where do I go to find 
them and remove them?
