Dear Sphinx

I have been thinking about installing the XP codec pack for some time but the fact that I have WMP 10, to your WMP9, and the pack is almost 6MB in size has me slightly worried.

Can you say if you have had any problems with this particular codec pack? WMP 10 has a tendancy to crash if it can't work with a codec finds.

Finally, have you, or anybody else, heard of or used a small codec pack called "Morgan Stream Switcher", which has been recommended by a website or two for XP.

I am trying to gauge whether it is possible to use only one or two media players rather than the five or six (not counting the one in LW) I now have. As you can imagine, it is a royal pain going from one player to the other trying to play a film clip.

As always, any info will be gratefully received.
