earlier with 5.1.0 and 5.1.1 ... actually there was NO PROBLEM ... the program is just too metaculous ... so it was trying to clean up my individually installed mess of Codecs.

Anyway "Vista Codec Pack" ... to be Exceptional Codec Pacakge ... and continually updates it and adds great tools to it.

This pack has many flaws. The installer is awful. My recommendation is to avoid this like the plague.
