what type of videos are u trying to play?? just remeber this, when u switch to vista... eeverything that you had XP is now not going to be able to run on vista.. so mabey your video isn't playing because its not compatiable with vista.

Vista is the worst idea in the world. Nothing works with it. Pain in the rear is what it is.

What are you missing......A good Operating System!!!!!!

Have fun!!!!!

Made on a Mac!!!!!

use k-lite codec
