    Vista problem with Mencoder.exe

    Maybe somebody in here has some clue how to resolve this problem. I have a new PC running Vista Ultimate 32bit on it (64bit still causes problems with some games and that's the only reason i got the 32bit version). I got used to Vista and set up everything but there is one problem left. I regularly convert WMV videos to AVI or MPEG because my bloody DVD Player can't play WMV files. To convert, I use a freeware software called All to Avi you can get from Sourceforge. When I installed it on Vista, I was able to convert a few files but then suddenly a pop up window came up telling me "Mencoder.exe is not functional anymore". The Microsoft hint was to use an updated Win32 driver but it did not fix the problem. I can convert files again but All to AVI does not recognize the width and heigth anymore so I can forget about getting a good result. I also tried to convert a file with good ole Nero but it seems Nero is using the same decoder so it does not work either. I saw a posting on a forum telling that the user account control can cause this but even when I turn it off, I still have the same problem. Did anybody experience the same and has a solution? Or can tell me a free program for Vista (besides SUPER, tried it already) that uses a different encoder that actualy WORKS with fucking Vista?

              Oh Vista...I love you already...after encoding a few files with AudioVideo_To_Exe I am now getting the same pop up again but this time it says "ffmpeg.exe is not functional anymore" WTF is going on with this OS and converting files. Does anybody convert files regularly with Vista and does not have this kind of problem?
