I had the url for the old Classic Player but I seem to have deleted or
lost. Been thru CNET and Download.com and grown tired of being redirected.
The MSN site is hopeless. Anyone happen to have handy?

Thanks......

Re: Codex for WMP Classic

It depends on what you really mean.

What is sometimes referred to as the "classic" Windows Media Player from Microsoft
is Windows Media Player 6.4:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/version64/default.aspx

There is also a non-Microsoft media player with considerably greater functionality,
called Media Player Classic, which I use and recommend:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Player_Classic
and

I believe 6.4 is the "classic".

MS do have a few new codecs that you MAY need for that version -
or did a year or two ago, but you're on your own AFA finding
them on the MS site.

Re: Codex for WMP Classic

Better yet, this is the link you'd use with Win98, to skip the "validation":
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/format/codecdownload.aspx
Scroll to the page bottom.

Direct download:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/6/1/461e47d9-bff9-4d3f-b97c-93476581f6ef/wmp6cdcs.exe

Got it. Thanks much.

BTW..this may be old hat to the folks here, but, I discovered that WMP
6.4 was
already on my pc, in the Win OS itself.

Start>Run>mplayer2.exe ---and up it pops. Had I known that I would not
have posted to start. Found that out on one of the d/l sites.

Again, thanks...
