Is is possible to isntall xvid, or divx 5.11 on a computer without writing to the c:windows folder?
I have access to just about the rest of the c drive, but not c:windows.
Alternativly, if i manually copy xvid.dll and xvid.ax to c:program filesxvid is there a way to point windows media player to the .dll file?
thanks

Yes i believe it is possible to install a working Xvid or DivX codec outside of C:Windows, however, if i was you id try and fix your drive so you can access all of it beacause even though you seem to be able access areas of your drive they may be fualts that may end up causeing other problems

The drive is fine. It has to do with not having admin rights in windows.

I have mine installed in a folder outside of C:Windows, uninstall the codec, then create a folder outside of C:Windows, then when installing it again make sure you install it into the folder you created, it should put the xvid.dll into that folder. Thats how mine is. Get back to me plz
