i know K-Lite mega codec and i'm using it.

currently got a win98 machine and K-Lite codec doesnt work on it.

any other codec i can use?

One of my computer [Win OS 98] currently using K-Lite Mega Codec pack ver 145...no problem at all ..except some codecs only available for Win XP...

you might want to update your Directx as well

well, direct x can only be upgraded via "genuine windows".

how to update leh? any tips?

find any new games, inside it, u will get the directx installer...
the latest one is DirectX9.0c

i bought this new star wars game. inside there has direct x 9.0c. however, when i installed it, it will prompt me successful.

when i try to launch the game, it will say my system is still using directx 9.0b.

i've tried 2 different game alridi.

any idea?

maybe ur need to reinstall first the directx9...
to do so, u need seperate program...try to google about directx uninstaller....

Becareful...when using directx uninstaller...if you messed up your directx...you gonna reinstall windows back ^^"

anyway...you using Win XP SP2, rite? ...i mean, you install Win XP with SP1 first, then install SP2 later? ...well...got some bug..which I also encounter this a few times...when you try to install the directx 9.0c, the installation will starts...and do nothing..just got the "installation successful" msg...but never change anything o_O
