Help with codecs!
I reinstalled my Vista, and now I've got a lot of problems: old games (like Diablo II, Claw), when it's snowing or when there's a rain in game - it's crashing - game has very low speed. When I'm watching DVD on WMP or other player, video has got bad quality (look: http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?image=obraz1pv1.jpg ). I installed codecs (k lite codecs), drivers for graphic card, directx, I updated vista, but (maybe) system doesn't see them. There aren't video codecs and audio codecs in device manager (look: http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?i...3788641on1.jpg ). Help me please.

Don't use WMP. Use Media Player Classic: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/vi...er_classic.cfm

Then make sure you enable deblocking in your codec as well.

"Diablo II NOTE: For best results, set Compatibility Mode for application to Windows XP SP2 in the shortcut's properties and run as Administrator. This should allow all features of game to work properly, including LAN and Battle.Net play. If the game takes too long to start up, try disabling Aero Glass (or under Compatability disable desktop composition)."
