Windows Vista 64 bit codecs.

Priapus · 13 Jul 2008 at 12:11

Howzit guys,

I have upgraded from 32 bit vista to 64bit vista. Now I cannot get my videos to show thumbnails like they used to in 32 bit vista. Also, my Windows Media Center keeps telling me it cannot play video files, due to missing codec files.

Can anyone recommend me a good codec pack to use with Windows Vista 64-bit, that will:

1. Show the thumbnails of video files.
2. Work with Windows Media Player,
3. Work with Windows Media Center.

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you! :cool:

hhm..., that's the only codecs that i have installed & my thumbnails are all showing & WMP/WMC use the codecs just fine.

Did it install them under Programf iles or program files (x86)?
