Windows vista and Divx

[madcat75]

Divx player changed my theme to windows areo basic, and now I can't change my theme back to what I had it set to before. How do I fix this?

 

[advancedgeek]

just go back to the display settings and change it to aero

Yeah I tried that, it wouldn't go back to the glass theme.

mine does that also but when i exit the theme goes back to glass

I think I know what happens, Divx is not completely compartible with Aero as Limewire, so when it Runs Aero is disabled. You should select not to run it on startup or update it to a newer version.

Divx doesn't yet support Vista. It gives you that warning before you install it. Just get ffdshow instead, it is compatable and also works with vista.

well vista should switch away from aero when you open Divx and it should switch back when you close it. So, make sure that Divx is really closed by looking in the task manager and ending any of the divx related processes.

use this.. it is much better and its works with pretty much any codec out.

Hmm, I downloaded DivX from their website and have not had an issue. Vista used to warn me via the UAC when it started, but adjusting the security settings for it fixed that.

What version are you running?
