Default Air conditioner stinks (smells bad)

My air conditioner smells bad - kind of musty. Anyone else have this problem? The cabin filter was just recently changed, so that's not the problem. And I've had a few different cars, and none of them have smelled like this.

Any ideas?

Do you have a BMW attached to your front bumper?

So, no smell if you run just the fan or the heater?

Your vents are probobly dirty and moist, they need to be cleaned out by hand and dried clean and taht should do it, mine is taht way if you run it for about 5 min that can do it.

No. Only when the AC is on - that's why I'm just noticing it now - because it started getting hot here, and so the AC is now on.
