Great! Now I messed up my registry database with a half installed codec pack, and the uninstall script does of course not work.

What a piece of cow dung!!!

DON'T USE THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE MADE AN IMAGE OF YOUR HARD DRIVE SO THAT YOU CAN RESTORE YOUR SYSTEM *WHEN* THIS CRAP FAILS TO INSTALL THE FIRST TIME!!!

Simply put, if you just want to watch movies, you don't need hundreds of rare codecs clogging up your system and polluting your registry. This is a piece of bloatware, a buggy one at that. You know something's wrong when explorer crashes trying to create thumbnails for a folder of videos. And you can't go back completely once you've installed since the 6.03 uninstaller isn't clean; the only way to make sure is to wipe and reinstall Windows. Best to stick with K-Lite Mega.

Ace maga codecs pack is an awful piece of software.The codecs work fine but they are not configured properly and wrong codecs are launchaed during playback.it crashes quicktime & itunes 7.x.To repair these progams go to the "system32" directory in your pc.Go to-tools-options and uncheck the box that says-"hide protected operating systam files."Ignore the windows warning message and click ok. Scroll down and delete the folder named "QuickTime." Reinstall quicktime and itunes.It Should work now.

If you have windows vista & running iTunes it's better not to install Ace mega codecs because iTunes will not start(error: iTunes has stopped working...) and you'll have an headache trying to make it work again!!!

Really could be more user friendly. I installed everything and its nearly wrecked my system.

Part of it is my fault for installing everything but surely the creators should warn about potential conflicts and refuse to install rogue items.

iTunes nor quicktime works for me now.

Very disappointed.

I run Vista on my laptop and had to install ACE to be able to run certain video files online.

Since I've install ACE, MSN live crashes whenever I start my webcam, itunes crashes, media player crashes...What could be wrong with this?

Advice anyone?

This is a standard release for me. Once again, I was hoping they resolved the Lameacm.acm error that comes along with the outdated version of the lame encoder, but they didn't. The Lame error causes windows to get some stupid error so I have to basically wait for it to restart. So I have to download the Lame encoder separatly and all. Other than that. It's a good release.

Seems to cause blue screen on my xp pro with /3gb switch, something to do wit 3dll file. Works fine with ordinary windows. Developers should check into memory allocation conflicts with /3gb on systems that have 4gb memory.
Otherwise, more than enough of codecs. Too much stuff and gadgets to get into.
