    Hmm divx website has the 6.6 codec download but no mention if it is compatible with vista. Also try having wmp find the codec online when it asks would you like wmp to try to find the codec. It works sometimes.

    The current divx player doesn't work with vista (works with XP ) however the codec by itself works just fine. Get the divx package and then just install the divx codec.

    Or you can do like me and just use gomplayer it has all of the mainstream codecs built in and therefore you need not search for any codecs.

    That is the best one to use with Vista if you need a full codec pack.

    But for best stability, we still recomend installing only the codecs you need. In this case, install Xvid and/or DivX and you're fine.
