adpcm codec with XP

[johnt]

Some weeks ago I removed the Microsoft ADPCM codec from my WinXP Professional installation (while trying to sort out an apparent conflict). Now, having found and fixed the problem (which in the end was not related to codecs), I need to restore the ADPCM codec but cannot find out how to do it. Sounds dumb, I know, but I just can't find the way!

Thanks for any advice.

Make sure that the file 'msadp32.acm' is in the 'c:\Windows\system32' folder.

Then copy and paste the following text into a plain-text-file called 'MS_ADPCM_Audio.reg' (make sure that it is not called ''MS_ADPCM_Audio.reg.txt'), then doubleclick on that new file and hit the ok-Button.

That's all you have to do when you are using Win2k/XP.
In Win9x you have to put the line

msacm.msadpcm=msadp32.acm

in the [drivers32] section of the system.ini in the 'c:\windows' folder instead.
