It will also make all the video files on your computer unwatchable. I tried
that "fix" and I had to go back and undo it in order to salvage my files. I
have a brand new computer with a DVD burner that is nothing more than a dust
gatherer. I feed like I've paid for nothing.

Could you explain how that *could* make all the video files on your computer
unwatchable? It's the Indeo *Audio* Codec.

iac25_32.ax simply should not be registered upon Vista. This is
definitively not required for DVD playback and will break various
applications as it blows up when you query it for certain functionality.

According to WMP's Help:about:Technical Support Information menu tool, what
DVD/MPEG filters do you have installed to your system?
