Install *.dll into Registry

[Guest]

I've received a Windows Window Player 11 error message that my Windows XP
Service Pack 2 doesn't have "xvidcore.dll" needed to play *.avi videos. I've
downloaded this *.dll. It came in a zip file with the instructions to install
it into the Registry. I don't know how to install anything into the Registry.

Hope someone can help me out.

Thanks.

Maybe "register the file", but CERTAINLY not install it in the registry.
Please RE-read the instructions again. If they are are not explicit,
then you may copy, paste the text for the part about registering it in
your message and an interpretation will be made for you.

Thanks! I was suspicious. I did a full back up, didn't touch my Registry then.
Put that *.dll into Windows > System 32 along with all the other *.dll files.
The video plays now ... and if I have any problems, it should be easy to go
in and just remove it.
