With Vista Codec Package installed, you won't need to install any other codec or filter. Many user suggested default settings are implemented. It does not contain a media player. It does not associates filetypes. With this package installed you will be able to use any media player (limited only by the players capabilities) to play DVD's, movies and video clips of any format. Streaming video (real and quicktime) is supported in web browsers. Visit the homepage to get a 64bit Addon which enables xvid, divx and DVD playback in Vista's MediaCenter.

    The MSN Bar's inclussion is an obvious effort at trying to make a few pennies because I realize not everyone is in a postion to donate to FREE projects. It is not blindly or installed in any hidden manner unless you are clicking next next next without reading anything. The toolbar offer occupies an entire installation screen immediately after the EULA presentation. Uninstalling it immediately afterwards negates the install and i receive nothing. You would at least need to try it out for a few days for me to receive anything from its install.

    I know I work hard at maintaining and improving my software, so I also rate it at 5

    What's with the MSN toolbar?
    Sure it uninstalls ok, but if there was an opt out somewhere during install, it was small enough for me to miss. Stills get a 5!

    IakovK, there is nothing rude about informing you that the fact that you choose to turn off UAC is causing your issue. It is your computer and your choice.

    ERROR 1152: When a compressed network image (single compressed setup.exe) is launched, the files compressed within it will be extracted to the TEMP folder and launched from that location. If one or more files cannot be extracted, then error 1152 occurs.
