| | A Silly Question. Well, my question is if in Windows 7, DirectX and video codecs have to be installed by the user just as in Windows XP, because as far as I can see, some movies can be seen, and I haven't tried games yet. Thanks  |

| | I haven't had to download any codecs but I installed VLC Player and I think that comes with a whole bunch. Does anyone know if it installs codecs for all players to use or is it that only VLC is able to play files? |

| | VLC is running great on mine but i have not loaded all the differant types yet. ill try later and let you know what codecs wont start i do remember in vista with both VLC and Media Player Classic installed i still had to go find a very old codec for 1 file. but that was it only 1 file. |

| | While a lot more video formats work OOTB, it may be worth d/ling a codec pack anyway. The codec quality in both WMP and VLC just doesn't seem to have as good a picture quality compared to Vista+codec pack. It could be driver related though. (haven't installed a codec pack in 7 yet) |

| | VLC player only uses codecs for itself. |
