[QUOTE="Topi, post: 971615, member: 132366"] hoborg offered me some hints via PM (thanks!) which finally helped me to develop a workaround for the issue, although he mentioned that he only supports SAF in administrator type user accounts. Here are the necessary steps to get the PowerDVD 12 codecs to work with DXVA support in a Windows 7 standard user account: [LIST] [*]Administrator Account: unistall both, SAF 6.x and the SAF unlocker [*]Reboot [*]Temporarily elevate your standard user account to administrator type ("Change the account type" in Windows 7 user accounts control panel sub menu) [*]Log on to the standard user account , which has now administrator privileges, and install the SAF unlocker as well as SAF 6.x under this account [*]Reboot [*]Set back your standard user account to standard user type ("Change the account type" in Windows 7 user accounts control panel sub menu) [*]Reboot [/LIST] Now you should be fine with correctly working DXVA supported PowerDVD 12 codecs in your standard user account.
