The files play fine on Windows Media Player, WinDVD and probably others that I haven't tested with. Everything was fine until I reinstalled Windows this morning, now for some reason the method mIRC is using (which apparently differs from that of other players) isn't working right. Could anyone perhaps shed some light on what mIRC uses, and/or how to fix my problem? Thanks.. <Ingo> I can't uninstall it, there seems to be some kind of "Uninstall Shield"

In the meantime.. if anyone else remembers this problem and a different way of fixing it, please add to this thread Thanks c0ld <Ingo> I can't uninstall it, there seems to be some kind of "Uninstall Shield"

Still no change. Is there anything else which may help ? Still only happening in mIRC. <Ingo> I can't uninstall it, there seems to be some kind of "Uninstall Shield"

Others have had the same prob, and found its the codecs. Use the search feature here, set it to all forums, expand the date range to all and try using codec or codecs as the search term.

But.. my audio worked fine with no problems with both AC3 installed and all the codecs from the Nimo pack installed. These can't be the problem But there must be some other codec at work here, since everyone else is having the codec problem. Thanks for the heads-up. <Ingo> I can't uninstall it, there seems to be some kind of "Uninstall Shield"

I remembered that it used to work fine with both, but i uninstalled nimo and reinstalled just a selection instead, and it must have been one or more of those cos now it works great. I want to thank you for opening my eyes to the suggestions already given here mIRC Rulez! <Ingo> I can't uninstall it, there seems to be some kind of "Uninstall Shield"
