mpg4c32.dll

[Norman]

Fully updated XP pro.

Recent clean install.

Video Codec properties, Mpeg-4 properties shows driver enabled but not

functioning properly.

Settings yields Driver error. "Cannot load Microsoft Mpeg-4 Video Codec

Driver. The driver file may be missing. Etc. "

Choosing to remove the device, it reinstalls with reboot with same issues.

Registry shows in system32, file mpg4c32.dll.

File does not exist.



Can someone explain what is going on or help me get straight? Please!



Upon installing video drivers yesterday I get a regpermwriter.exe error

also. These were for my ATI card.

Thanks for the link. It explains some of the reason, maybe. It sounds like

MS decided to stop using that file, as in dispersing it. But they obviously

forgot to remove it from registry and video codec's. Or so it seems.
