Default I'm running VLC for XP on Win98se

Update: I installed 2.0.8. It installed ok, but it will not show
videos, all I get is the audio. I just removed it and went back
to 2.0.5. That does everything I need anyhow.

There is a popular codec package (K-lite) that I've installed on my
win-98 systems.

I don't know if it is needed for VLC 2.0.8 to display video on win-98,
but I know many people running XP and higher seem to want or need that
codec package for one reason or another.

Also note that MediaPlayer Classic is another video player that runs on
win-98 (I have version 6.4.8.2) and I find that for 720p and higher
video's that it seems to render video smoother (no or fewer dropped
frames) compared to VLC.
