MP4 player for Vista

The wife received a MP4 file and it will not work on her Vista machine, but will on her Windows 7 machine using Media player.
Anyone know of one that is worth having, that runs on Vista?

Dave,

As I have posted elsewhere, there is no need to install another media player to play files which WMP can't handle. All that is needed is Shark007 Windows 7 Codec Package. From experience, I can tell you that after installing this package, WPM will play everything.

Note also that he offers the Vista Codec Package, which works in both Vista and XP.

Download link via Major Geeks is near the bottom of each respective page.

How do I get my songs from Limewire to my new MP4 player? I just got an Mp4 player. Ive downloaded a bunch of songs from limewire, but i can't seem to sync them onto the mp4. I really need some step by step help. Im not good at this kind of thing.
