DivX register-app won't start under 64 bit OS

The DivX register app is hardcoded to use the System32 folder as path for Rundll32, which of course doesn't exist on a 64bit system. So when running Vista 64, you'll have to use a command similiar to this:

C:\Windows\Syswow64\rundll32.exe C:\Windows\System32\dtu100.dll,dtuSerialRunDll 7B63B2922B174135AFC0E1377DD81EC2

To start the DivX-regApp

Vista network slowdown when using media apps

Vista throttles networkspeed to keep multimedia viewing glitch free - but they have missed that we'rent using 286's no more...

To disable the "feature"

Regedit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AudioSrv

Key "DependOnServices" - edit the list, remove "MMCSS"

Quit regedit, start MSCONFIG -> Services -> Disable "Multimedia Scheduler"

Reboot and Njoy networkspeed even when listening to a MP3
