Re: codec problem

What were you installing exactly...and what problem were you trying to resolve.... or did you just want the codec pack "just in case"

Re: codec problem

Hi Njnitehawk,

Both programs have been updated this week, the two versions you have are both old versions...I updated the topic a few days ago with the new releases... Vista Codec Pack - 32bit & 64bit Media Player Codecs

Here are the direct links
Vista Codec Package 4.6.6 Final
Vista Codec x64 Components 1.4.7 Final

Make sure you right-click and select "run as admin" and completely uninstall both versions before installing the new ones.

Let me know if it helps.
Steven

Re: codec problem

Yes - Install the 32bit version 4.66 first, followed by the 64bit pack version 1.4.7.
