Vista Codec Package 7.2

for those of u using non panda virus scanners not all scanners detect vista codec packs virus but panda does so i suggest trying that then reinstalling ur original virus scaner also it seems to be connected to bing toolbar too so be careful with that ive already contact norton

The thought was there (having only the best of the best codecs installed), but the install wen't terribly wrong! Thank Goodness for Microsoft recovery! After installing this codec package for Vista, my email locked up and I couldn't get any browser other than IE to even start anymore. Printing from IE would even lock up the application. Rather than trying to UNINSTALL the app, I opted to utilize the Microsoft Recovery just before the install. Recovery fixed all my problems with the install. Now I just still have a problem viewing .mp4 movies in Google's Picasa. Solution anyone? (I'm not sure that the installed vista codec package would have fixed the problem as I panicked into recovering my system before even trying).

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium with SP2 (32bit) on an HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop.

Two of the files created by this progam...
C:\Program Files (x86)\VistaCodecPack\Tools\conflict.exe
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\VistaCodecPack\Tools\setupinfo.exe
were detected by Avira AntiVir as being infected with the TR/Dropper.Gen trojan.

False positive or not, I'm not taking the chance.

Location: C:\Program Files\VistaCodecPack\Tools\renderer32.exe

Microsoft Oncecare reports that this package contains two trojan viruses in tools: MPEG.EXE and HDDVD.exe.

With care.

It breaks Camtasia.
With this installed, It can not produce video at all.
Uninstall it and it works again...

I have windows vista home basic, upgraded to Ultimate. vista codec package 4.2.8 last week did not install perfectly, so this week I removed it and installed package 4.2.9. Now it still will not play a DVD, but at least it doesn't say "no decoder". Now it says to "try lowering screen resolution and color" (from 32 to 16 is all I can do on color). Well, with resolution at minimum (but color goes back to 32 by itself), it still will not play any ordinary DVD. (using win media player 11)
