Thanks for that additional knowledge, I have never had anything to do with Home Basic and Starter in any version of Windows .

I do recall the XP and Vista instances; I think in XP Media Player it would pick up the likes of KLite's codecs, but it is a long, long time since I have had anything to do with media on XP so may be mistaken in that.
