I never downloaded or installed any codec called LAME mp3, but all of the sudden I am getting this stupid pop up window when I use Internet Explorer that says Lame mp3 codec and then has info about the codec. I can't do anything in IE until I hit the OK box. Does anyone know how to get rid of this stupid thing???

If you want to disable the popup when visiting web pages that have embedded mp3s --> Start --> All Programs --> "K-Lite Codec Pack" --> "Codec Tweak Tool". Scroll down the list (it's a long one) until you find "Codec Management (K-Lite Codec Pack)". Under this section there will be an "enable" and "disable" section. The program doesn't tell you what is enabled or disabled, but the options move from enabled to disabled when you finish your selection. Locate MP3 (Lame) under the "DISABLE" section and check it. Click Next and then Finish. Your popup problem will be gone.

Hope it helps!!!!!

I do not have the "K-Lite Codec Pack" listed in my program list. But I still get the annoying pop-up.

Many thanks from me too! In my university webmail, I got that popup everytime an appointment reminder came up or new email came in and it would freeze & crash the whole program. Very annoying time waster!

It's helped so many, was hoping it would help me...but I don't have K-Lite, I do have a Windows 7 Codec that I downloaded...can see a management file in this one. Any suggestions?

''when I open some of my messeges, suddenly appears a little box with an information about Lame MP3 Codec v0.9.2.398.2, Lgpl LIcence, Steve L Homme+Lance Developers. It also says. Icon:Lucas Granite.. .The little box paralizes every thing .The only way I can be free is to click the ok box they provide ...and Then internet crashes! I have not a relationship with this institution I don't understand how they invaded my mail! Please let me know how to get rid of them..

In case you aren't using the k lite package... search your system32 or SysWOW64 directory for lame* and rename the files you see with a new extension of .OLD and reboot. This worked for me.
