Codec For Windows Vista

Hi everyone,
Does anyone has recommendation on what codec I should install on my Vista Business? I have SZ650NC and have no luck on getting the right codec. Tried to install divx, but gives me problem.
Thanks in advance!

 

I have two suggestions. First, you can install VLC (VideoLan) which is a media player that will play nearly anything that you throw at it without the need for external codecs. It is available here.

Second you can install the K-Lite Codec Pack. I've had good luck with the Full version, and all versions are available from this website. It will allow WMP11 to play nearly anything. It's been a little while since I've had to install it, and since I'm using Linux and I don't want to fire up my virtual install to test it, I'll have to guess on my next suggestion: you may want to choose to configure the options of your install so that the ffdshow icons do not show up in your system tray when they're being used. They always annoyed me. You can configure that later if you choose to, and as I said, I don't know where those options really are in the install.

 

or u can just use "pure" vista codec packs

cheers ...
