Hey guys! I am looking for a way to run Movie Maker in Windows Vista. The version that comes with the new OS requires a good video card and usually I run Movie Maker on my laptop. So you can imagine, it sends me an error that it can't run. I need to figure out a way to use it. My laptop is good, only that it has an integrated video card. Any suggestions on what I can do? Thanks,

In XP, could adjust codec priority through Multimedia Control Panel applet. Can't find how to do this in Vista - can anyone help?

I had both Movie Maker with DVD support working on Windows XP sp2 why doesn't it work on Vista. It told me I needed to support DirectX 9 and I installed the latest DirectX 10.0 and tested it and it works great. Why doesn't the applications now work? -- Dave Ryan

Audio playback on my Vista system has a horrible lot of echo added to everything. Any way to turn this off?

Anybody knows why Synctoy 1.4 won't run in Vista RTM x64? Thanks in advance. -- Stefano

i'm having a heck of a time getting itunes to install on my copy of vista...i had to reinstall recently, but before the reinstall, i NEVER had a problem with itunes in any way (now, real.com, THAT'S another story!)...now, it seems, i can download it fine, but when it's done downloading, and should start installing, it does nothing...and i'm frustrated...anyone else have this problem? how did...

Hi, I'm currently looking for some decent hardware that will capture the input from my cable STB (Telewest) which is essentially my tuner (so I don't particularly need a tuner). The STB is controlled through the MCE IR blaster/redeye bolt ons. Upto now I've been using a XFX NVTV card capturing the signal through a composite input, my prior configuration involved a Leadtek PVR 2000 (NON OEM...

I used to be able to play dvds and now I can't. The only thing that changed is one of my dvd drive die and I replaced it. Now neither drive will play. Windows media player says a don't have enough memory and media center says theres a problem with my decoder restart the computer. I have two gigs of memory and the memory meter stays below 50%

Two days ago I have installed Vista. My system: Athlon 64 3500+, 1024 mb memory, SLI EN6600GT Asus, 160 GB HD S-Ata. When trying to play movies I frequently get the message "internet explorer has stopped working. Windows is trying to find and answer".. or something like it. Furthermore movies take a hell of a time to play and when moving the playing

Yet another reason to buy an Xbox 360 this holiday season. I, like many others, just got hit by my Vista RC1 MCE box losing the ability to play TV. It gives the dreaded "Decoder Error" message. Once I learned that it was doing this due to a timebomb on the decoders for the RCx's, I realized that my Xbox 360 should be unaffected because of the way the MCX transport works! Sure enough, I can...

Will Vista DVD Maker support DVD burners that can write to double layer DVD disks? Thanks, Johannes van Vuren. Cambridge UK.

I just loaded Vista system this morning and I have no sound on my laptop. HP dv1000. I have done an auto search on the internet and the message states the 'the best drivers are already installed'. Any ideas? JB

Yesterday we deleted temporary files that were taking up too much memory. We also "defragged" the computer (well, it wasn't me; I have no idea what "defragging" does). Our antivirus software also found a potential virus, but it seems as if it prevented the virus from ruining anything. However, now there is no sound. We can play Windows Media Player and iTunes, but the volume can't be used...

I've been using Media Center just fine on Vista RC1 until today. Something I installed yesterday seems to be interfering with MCE's detection of proper codecs to play recorded and live TV. Whenever I try to do it, I get an error. I can play the recorded files just fine using the Divx player but both MCE and WMP choke on it. Any ideas on where to start looking? -- Darren...

Been playing with WMP11 on XP for a while and now onto Vista RTM: 1) No support for multiple audio streams in an AVI, it just plays them all at once 2) No VOB support, have to rename as mpg and hope for the best 3) Can't define your own file extensions for the library, .flac, .ogg, etc. (Luckily there's WMPTSE and it works on Vista) 4) No support for hardware DD 5.1 decoding (e.g. Creative...

Just a comment. O.K. So WMP11 is new; but WHAT THE HECK is that icon? Ya think MSFT media coulda come up with anything UGLIER? Is the lead icon guy color bind? or was that an inside joke? on all of us. That orange on blue THING makes me wanna vomit. Jeff

I'm using xvid (and divx) video codecs in RC1 media player with no problem. However Media Center refuses to recognize the codecs that are installed and working in media player. I've seen this issue posted before with no resolution - any other ideas?

I use FRAPS to create video of games and have found it to fail dramaticlly since it will not record the sound. I have tried using Audacity and the Vista sound recorder, nothing! They will record my voice when using a mic but will not record the "WAVE" or output of any application.

After upgrading to Windows Vista Ultimate RTM from the MSDN site, I've found that WMV files play horribly on the Windows Media Player 11 that ships with Vista. This problem didn't happen with Media Player 11 on Windows XP and the problem doesn't happen when I view the file in Real Player. The video is extremely choppy but the sound appears to be okay. I've tried setting hardware...
