 When I loaded Kaffeinne  for the first time it complained that the
 win32codecs were not installed but told me that it could work anyway.
 I'm not sure if win32codecs are absolutely essential - but thought i
 would report the error anyway. If it's not required then i don't have
 a problem.
 many thanks for your response
