I would re-install XP Pro that I have from my previous computer, but Vista is just soooo pretty. Though there are some def. weird/stupid features.

Grab a program called Gspot and find out what codec you need, then go to free codecs and get the proper one.

You usually only need xvid and divx for most stuff.
