Are you having problems with 32-bit Vista or 64-bit?

32 bit vista

I see you use WMP. Can I suggest that you just get one of the directshow players instead? mpc, zoomplayer, there are many ~

With the latest ffdshow installed, all of my xvid (and other) encodes play perfectly in Vista 32bit using WMP 11, latest version of MPC or VLC player. No problems whatsoever.
