woohoo nice one Myk, was just about to repost and say its still not workin

[Konspiracy]

aaaaaaaaaaaaargh help please Myk..

Ive installed Nimo but Im not convinced its completed correctly, it wouldnt install a couple of files and I cant seem to launch an application (if there is one..?). I know im probably missing something simple, apologies for bein a muppet

[wildpitch]

Sometime ago I installed an earlier version of Nimo and it shafted my machine or at least all the media players I had installed..

Unless its changed much there shouldn't be an app to launch as Nimo is just a fat bunch of codecs, just fire up Windows Media Player or Winamp and open the AVI you've got.

Thats exactly what its done to mine lol I cant play any sound files now....

Any ideas before I reinstall all mi players

1st get media player classic (best player out imo) as it will open a dialog with a link to the codec you need if you dont have it, or install avicodec as it will give detailed info on the media file your trying to open (r-click the movie file after you've installed it and choose the avicodec option), its also worth getting ffdshow as thats used a lot nowadays.

LOL. Is there an uninstall for that Nimo job? I found the safest thing to do was use that app I posted the link to to work out what codec was required and then just install that specific codec.
