Re: Codec Priority

Hello, I was thinking of downing loading the same codecs from codec. Perhaps
you can help me. I purchased a dell basic and I cannot convert ram files to
wave. I use a site called illustrate that has a converter which, I used on my
old cp which had xp and creative sound blaster. The dell has sigma tel which
is now idt. When I try to convert a ram file to wave I get a msg "direct show
filter for ram files not installed" yet it is. I wonder if this is a vista
problem, a sound problem or what could it be.

Would appreciate your thoughts.
