Re: NEW BUG!!!
 

hmm.. will taking these codecs out affect anything else on my system?
Im thinking it might.
Like certain videos might not play or other games might have troubles. Am i thinking right here?

The standard windows CODECs are pretty comprehensive, and will cover most items. If something you have requires an additional CODEC then typically it will self-install and/or tell you what you need to install. But what sometimes happens is that you goto a site and view something or do something once that requires a certain codec that may not be fully windows compliant, and that could be your culprit -- even though you may not ever use that codec again.
Anyhow, the short answer is that yes there is some risk that something you do won't work, but that shouldn't be hard to fix.
