When Vista was released from Microsoft, it was up to digital imaging providers like Nikon and Canon to write their own codecs so that their image files could be viewed by their users. Unfortunately, relying on Camera manufacturers, usually foreign, and without good ties to Microsoft Developers has led to some complications.
Most noteably, anyone using the 64-bit version of Windows has not been able to view their raw files (.NEF) since Vista was released. Nikon provides a codec for XP and 32-bit Vista only.
Enter Ardfry Imaging. They created a beta version of the NEF codec for Vista x64. I’ve installed it and it works!
