Windows 8 movie maker/codec woes

[paradive]

last week, i switched over to the k-lite codecs.

now all of a sudden, WLMM won't import mp3s (i'm assuming the 2 are connected, even though everything else is working fine).

how do i point WLMM to the new codec?

p.s. yes, i've reinstalled.

Hi,
I did a little search and came up with this:
LEHSYS Side Notes: How to Load K-Lite Codecs for Windows Movie Maker 2012 [step-by-step]

Hope it helps but if not post back.

close enough!
i installed media codec pack from Media Player Codec Pack for Microsoft Windows (after learning it wouldn't interfere with the k-lite codecs - just the windows media stuff)
and now it's working like a charm.
