Copying and pasting to the Visualizations folder is fine, but the dll's also
have to be registered. E.g., run Command Prompt as Administrator (by
right-clicking on the Command Prompt shortcut), and type:

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Visualizations\nullvis.dll"

(the quotes are necessary, as shown).

where nullvis.dll is the name of the particular visualization's dll
(substitute nullvis.dll for the actual name of the dll you are registering).
Press enter on you keyboard.


Not all visualizations may work, in which case, to remove it from the Media
Player, run Command Prompt as Administrator, and type:

regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Windows Media
Player\Visualizations\nullvis.dll"

Press enter on you keyboard.
