Default Vista Gurus

So I just got a new computer and it has Vista, however none of my videos seem to work and I am getting windows media player crashes when I try to play some videos. What codec packs are you using?

codec packs are largely a scam to get crap on your pc you don't need. 99% of the codec's you need will be downloaded automatically by WMP.

http://www.koepi.org/XviD-1.1.2-01112006.exe This might help.

Seriousy man reformt and reinstall XP..2k...hell even 98 or *gasp* ME is better than Vista.

Correction. Never buy an OS before the first security pack. Its okay after that, best to wait longer but its fine.
