no just install three.. 1) Quicktime 2) Realplayer 3) jet Audio ... u will require all of them to play all kind of files on ur pc.. first one is to play mov extension files the second one is to play real media files and the last one has the support for many many other media file formats.. just install these three. no need to install more than that.. i hope that helps..  \n                                Good luck!

If you have a DVD drive ( I assume you do) just use your windows media player...works flawless. Make sure you update it to the newest version so that you have the newest drivers and codecs available.

if those are real media.. then use Real Player (such as .ram or .rm extension in files)

u only need codecs that u r going to use\nif u have a good pc then having all codecs won't slow performance\nJust make sure to download ONE codec pack and setup it just once (if u wanna change it or update uninstall first)\nthis is to avoid codecs conflicts (that's what packs are good for...the whole package works well with each other) just uninstall if u wanna change (update/install new ones) ur windows codecs\n\nand if u r just wondering what codec is needed to play a specific file...check the tool below

its only needed to play .real & .ram files as far as i know.\ni dont have the prog.\n\nother files should play fine in other apps .\n\nanother reason that it could be doing this, \nyou may need to update or\nits set to deafault app to play that type.\n\nyou can right click and select another app.\n\nReal player isnt that good.\n\ni use winamp & media player & quicktime thats all u need.\n\n                       PEACE

Unfortuantly media player is quite tightly tied into Windows.\n\nIf upgrading / downgrading / uninstalling / reinstalling doesn't work then you only have one choice...\n\nReinstall the OS.\n\nI had a very similar problem, and that was the only way to resolve the issue.\n\nAlternativly you could switch to RealPlayer which will play all the same formats and more.

Open windows media player.  Go to tools, options, file types.  Click select all and hit ok.  You're done.

I would guess no, since Windows Media Player has been integrated with windows pretty extensively for some time now, meaning it has to be on the same drive as windows.

Hi,\n\nWhat I would suggest for your issue is to download the VLC software. It's great and already has all the codecs you need. I'm using it and every-time I've got a video to watch It works with that latter.\n\nSo you can go to : http://www.download.com (and search for "VLC") and click on the latest one : "VLC Media Player".\n\nThere you go !!! Have a nice day.\n\nMichael.
