The codec doesn't install for me, yet I need it to get installed. Photoshop and Windows Live Photo Gallery (which is 32bit so it should view correctly) would use it. Anyone know how to get this to install on 64bit forcefully, it tells me it will not install on this operating system.

It should install though I'm not sure Windows will be able to use it to show previews in explorer (if it even does that with RAW files to begin with).

yeah it does (slow as heck naturally) but the nikon codec has a built in block to prevent it to install on 64 bit. photoshop ifran and those don't need it of course, it purely for explorer, photoviewer/slideshow, and I guess WMP's picture thing...

I've been waiting for a 64 bit release of the codec for a very long time now though, I've only heard rumors on other website topics on how Nikon has promised a release on some date that's long passed by now.

If he is talking about the Nikon NEF (RAW) codec then it will show previews in windows explorer... and it works in 64bit windows for me perfectly fine here...

I had to install and register the library manually... cant remember where I got the instructions from though... look up NEF install manual x64 see if you get anything

Windows Photo Gallery has a "check for updates" feature that will kick in when any of the above file formats are discovered. Photo Gallery will prompt you for a update that will enable the use of these RAW Image formats from these manufacturers. More codecs are expected to come online and will be available via Photo Gallery's update feature, just as these are today.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
