| a mere mortal ![]() Rep Power: 18 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Need Advice please hi all again first off thanks to everyone who reads this and can offer any kind of advice. i can't get media player to play dvd's it tells me to ''lower my resolution'' which is set at 1680 x 1050. i do this and nothing i take the resolution all the way to 800x600 and nothing gives me the same message so i surmized that their was another problem. I recently just upgraded my motherboard and ram and ended up having to rebuy vista as my computer was previously factory built. now i'm wondering if i have missed something or just keep missing an option. thanks again to all who give me any advice on this. oh other players work like power dvd but my version is not really compatible with vista so i get loads of warnings and strange things happening, i would really like to get media player working as i like the way it work(thats when it works lol) Gareth |

This is the only one you need; make sure you get the one for 32-bit! Vista Codec Package Homepage Later Ted | |||||||||||||||

Then use the link that Bare Foot Kid gave you (Vista Codec Package Homepage). It's the only codec pack you'll ever need - just download the correct version for your Windows Vista (32bit or 64bit). | |||||||||||||||
