    Vista Codec Pack and Windows 7

    I have installed vista codec pack and when ever i try to open my videos folder it crashes explorer which i think is caused by vista codec pack generating video thumbnails ?

    the problem is not with playing the file but rather than opening the folder which all the video files in it as soon as i open it first says "windows video clip support has stopped working " then says "windows explorer has stopped working" after that explorer restarts

    Try uninstalling all codec packs you have installed and see if you get the same error message.

    Having more than 1 codec pack installed will cause conflicts.

    I'd suggest you use the freeware uninstaller.....Revo Uninstaller:
    Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Uninstall Software, Remove Programs, Solve uninstall problems

    Also try this link:

    I have to agree with this! I have used VLC for years now, and also have yet to find a video file that it won't play...
