I can’t see only hear the video files. Yes, I do have the proper codecs. It does play Windows Media Video files, however. What is even more interesting, the Classic Media Player is able to play all the video formats. I re-installed everything except the Windows itself. Could you help me?

You have a corrupt installer which has not registered itself properly with the codecs present in your system.\nYou can only download a fresh copy for it to work properly.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/download.aspx

I dont know what to toll you because it worked fine with my win media player. Make shure you dont have the beta version. But if that is not the problem make Win Media player your default media player.

Problem:\nMost problems with viewing videos downloaded from any place on the internet are caused by not having the proper 'codecs' installed.\n\nSolution:\nMy suggestion would be to download this program called G-Spot, which will tell you which codec you need to play the file, and if the codec is indeed installed on your computer. G-Spot address: http://www.headbands.com/gspot/\n\nMany required codecs including DivX and XviD which are the most likely codecs you need are availible at: http://www.free-codecs.com/

If you want to play avi files on Windows Media Player 9 then you will need to add some codec so WMP can read and play these files.  Please refer to Chris Lanier's article on how to install and you the codecs.\n\n"Guide To AVI Playback In Windows Media Player" -- C. Lanier\n(http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/articles/10453.aspx)\n\n"Basic Information:An AVI is a container format that will hold audio and video.  Windows Media Player does support playback of AVI files, but in the past few years their have been many new codec's developed to compress the audio and the video that is inside the AVI file." -- excerpt from article.

you may need a codec to view it........if it doesn't work in wmp try downloading DIVX from http://www.divx.com....they ususally have up to date codecs that play all movies.....i've had this problem so many times, divx usually works.

Window media player does not have the MPEG-2 codec and a dvd decoder in it. either you have to install another dvd player such as Intervideo home theatre, or power dvd etc. These softwares often are given away in a software cd that comes with the computer or the dvd drive; Once you install one of these, windows media player will play DVDs Or There are some dvd decoder plugins given on microsoft's website below.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx\n\nHowever as you said you already watched dvd on your computer then you may have accidentally ubninstalled the decoder, posibly by uninstalling another dvd playing software.

Windows Media can be a bit temperamental at times.  Try one of these:\n\n1. Update your codecs (http://www.cole2k.net/?display=Codec-Pack-Advanced) or download the latest Windows Media Player codecs from microsoft.com\n\n2. Upgrade to Windows Media Player 11\n(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx)\n\n3. Download VLC player - This is an excellent media player that plays almost all video file formats:  http://www.videolan.org/vlc/\n\nGood Luck!

Windows Media Player definitely does support WMV so there might be a problem with your own system. Download VLC player (better than WMP) at http://www.videolan.org/

it is a movie file, but windows media player often has trouble playing avi files, and sometimes has trouble even if you have the codec installed.\n\ngo to www.divx.com. there you can download a media player that will play .avi files perfectly.

You need divx codecs to play most .avi files.\n\nGo to divx.com (http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/download/?tiger_aff=s&cc=A_fcid=000055 ) and download their latest divx codecs, it will allow you to play .avi files.\n\nNote: Having all and most up-to-date codecs installed on your computer will allow you to play any media format.

I have been asking what this was for awhile now. Finally, I deleted Windows Media Player totally off my computer and re-downloaded it, as well I "saved to computer" and now mine works just fine. Good luck!

looks like your machine doesn;t have space to run video, even when you wath the video it makes a temparay files in your system, so first you make space some space in your system and then try to see the videos. \nGoto\nTool<Options>General>\nDelete cookies\nDelete files\nClear history\n\nmove all your peronal data(songs,docs,games..) to non windows partition.

If the cd is corrupted then no there is nothing that will be able to play it. It means the data is damaged and it can't be fixed by some simple program.\n\nNow it you just mean that windows media player does not recongized the format of the video then you can try to find to correct codecs. The best program that I have ever used to play vids was divX. It will tell you if you need a codec and what codec you will need.
