These instructions DO NOT work with Windows XP, does anyone know how I can fix this problem, I have Windows XP and can’t find a way to add this codec, this is really stupid, why can’t microsoft add a stupid option to add a god damn codec why does it have to be a mystery, make add codec button, let you choose codec, add codec, simple, but noooooooooo….

Quote:quote:Originally posted by hellsfury_25mThis just goes to show why you do not want to delete anything off of your system, unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing. This is what I tell people who know nothing or very little, when they ask about a system file or setting. “If you don’t know what it is, don’t mess with it.” Now if they want to learn about the system or setting, that is another story, but just don’t delete something because you just might end up with the problem above.
baka – I believe hellsfury_25m was not replying to you personally, but to the original post.
How to install the audio codec for Windows XP
don kill me or i`ll cry has basically already answered this, there is only a slight variation in the wording on XP. But I will go through the step-by-step install for XP:
1. Download tssoft32.acm into your C:/Windows/System32 folder.
2. In Control Panel, go to Add Hardware.
3. Click Next and after it searches choose ‘Yes, I have already connected the hardware’. Click Next.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the ‘Installed harware’ list and choose ‘Add a new hardware device’. Click Next.
5. Choose ‘Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)’. Click Next.
6. Choose ‘ Sound, video and game controllers’ from the ‘Common hardware types’ list. Click Next.
7. Click on the ‘Have Disk’ button.
8. Click ‘Browse’
9. Navigate to the ‘C:/Windows/System32’ folder
10. Choose ‘$winnt$.inf’. Click Ok.
11. Click ‘Continue Anyway’ if you get a warning box.
12. Select ‘DSP Group TrueSpeech(TM) Audio CODEC from the list. Click Next.
13. Click Next again to install.
14. Restart if necessary.{EDIT – fixed line 10 to proper .inf file}
thanks for the walkthrough shifter! but…any idea why $ncsp$.inf is not in this folder, nor anywhere else on my hard drive? sorry for the trouble…i appreciate your help.
