Infuriatingly these codecs don't always automatically register, therefore:
If your Vista supports a command line then:
Click on Start - Run - type cmd and press Enter (or click on OK)

If your Vista doesn't support a command line then:
Run the following file:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
When the command prompt (C:\>) appears, type regsvr32 ir50_32.dll and press Return
