Natka,

I believe the ffdshow codec is for Divx. If you dont have Media Player 10,
upgrade. The rebooting was a default Windows setting that annoys the hell
out of me and is the first thing I disable. If you want to disable:
* right-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced tab
* click the 'settings' button under heading 'startup & recovery'
* Uncheck 'automatically restart', click 'OK'
* reboot
