I just noticed that I have another copy of the DLLs at

c:\WINNT\System32

Apparently it loads the DLLs from c:\WINNT\System32.  If I remove them 
from there, it stops working.

OK, so this seems to break specifying a codecs directory.  But the 
problem for me under Windows 2000 has always been that it never managed 
to load those DLLs from the codecs directory in the first place..

Anybody have a clue what's going on here?
