Apparently, Xvid is the codec that has been causing issues. I can't seem to make it install... like at all. I run the exe, and it goes through all the motions, installs all the stuff that shows up in the start menu, without actually installing the codec itself.

Now I've tried it about 12 times today and as near as I can tell the install bar only makes it halfway, then it flashes to the install complete window. I've googled and googled all damn day, but I can't find a mention of this happening to anyone else. Usually Xvid issues are because the files/folder it needs are set to read-only, or you're not logged in as an admin. But I don't think that's the case here.

It just bugs the hell out of me that I can watch my Dark Angel avis with WMP, but I can't vid with them using WMM. Something is just wrong with that.
