Hi guys, i've run into some strange problem that i can't resolve.
I have 2 computers, both running win2000. On one of them was 1.01 version. I wanted to upgrade to XviD-1.0.3-20122004.exe version.
I downloaded and installed it (or course i closed any progs that could use xvid).Installation was sucessful, i.e no errors. But notheing happened In VDM Xvid "about" it said that it was same old 1.01 version. Some restarts didnt' help either. So than i went to winnt/system32 directory and manually deleted these files:
xvidcore.dll
xvidvwf.dll
xvid.ax
xvid_dshow.ax
- anything i could find related to Xvid.
Than i installed 1.0.3-20122004 version again and it worked VDM found it and i could use it.
Unfortunately on my second win2000 computer it didnt' work that way, There was some very old xvid version (7-8month year old). First, i installed 20.10.2004 version on top but it resulted in same problem as on prev. computer - version didnt' change. Than i Manually deleted the abovementioned files, and tried to install the 20.10.2004 version - But Xvid disappered completely from Codec's list in VDM!!!!
I tried reinstalling/uninstalling this and any other versions - but with zero result - no any Xvid in codec's window. I even try to cope all those 4 files from working computer - but it didn't help either (files were there already).
So my question is simple, how do i install latest (or at least any ) xvid version so VDM and other progs can find it in the codec's list.
Do i have to dig up the registry? Waht are your suggestions?
I'm dying to try new xvid but i can't:(
