              Lets just say my Wnds media center has an issue since Friday night, it wont download and it keeps saying I need to empty the DNS Cache,  its infected I'm sure,  someone said to do an F8 on my next reboot and hit an earlier safe prior date of ops and it should clear out then do a complete sweep. I was playing with it Sat /sun and couldn't fix my problem. I'll try that 2night. :'(

                    If you'll look really carefully, you'll notice that zCodec is not associated with MS in any way. Their "codec" interacts with MS products, however (mainly because that's what PC's are sure to have).
