[QUOTE="dir, post: 522982, member: 24485"] Hi, Here's some feedback from a very frustrated user: 1. I've been using SAF (I think beta 09) and just tried installing RC1. It asked me for permission to uninstall the existing SAF, but when it did this it simply stopped. I'd assume it would continue on with the installation once the uninstall finished. 3. I re-ran SAF, and it's now telling me that i don't have the following installed: PowerDVD Adobe Flash Player (IE version) QuicTime MediaLooks QT Source direct show filter, or QuickTime Alternative. ARGH. The first post of this thread says that it's an "All In One" solution, yet the installation essentially fails because these other things aren't installed! Why not simply tell the user that they have to install them and provide links or something, or include all these? (Or remove the "All In One" claims!). 4. If there's no need to install PowerDVD, why does the Hardware/Software check pop-up window tell me that Power DVD: Not Found"? I can only interpret this message to mean that I'm supposed to have it installed. Confused! 5. "no need to install PowerDVD or any other kind of codecspacks" - Possibly technically true, but in fact you have to install at least 4 other programs before installing SAF, so this claim isn't really true although it might be technically accurate. 6. Tried configuring MP to enable AC3Filter as per the screenshots in the 1st post. I don't have AC3Filter as a possible option - it doesn't appear anywhere. For some reason, AC3Filter doesn't appear to have installed this time. I'm on Vista SP2 and I can't find where in Control Panel I can even check if it's there. I'll try deinstalling/reinstalling SAF again as AC3Filter is clearly part of the package according to the screenshots on the 1st post. [/QUOTE]
