You need to install Media Flash player 9.0 or install a video card.

You need to check your video card...you may not have OpenGL support on it. (anything integrated is not likely going to have it unless the machine was built to run Windows XP Media center on it)

It should get started in Win Media Player. If noy, download the latest codecs from internet.

You don't have the correct type of video codec that is required to play that video file. You can have many codecs on your computer, you just are missing the one you need for the video file you're trying to play. that's it. \nTo find the codec of the video file (try right-clicking on the file), then google for the specific video codec for the windows platform (if that's your computer is, as Windows Media player exists for the mac as well)

Try opening you file in windows media player. If that does not work, install more codecs ( google search "codecs" ). You can also install vlc ( http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ ).

there are many reasons for this. but i can save you from all the technical details. simplest solution is to download vlc media player. its a free software and can play any type of video without any codec bullshit. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Hav u tried opening video files with other players? Like mayb winamp or real player?\nHow about when u try to run some computer game? Does the game run without any glitches?\nIf u experience any problem using these applications, u might want to troubleshoot ur graphics card. If this isnt xactly ur cup of cake then i suggest u take ur system back to whr u bought it from and ask them to repair or replace it for u.\nAs u said that it was new, u probably still are in the warranty period so u wont hav to pay anything.\nHope this helps

You will have to install a plugin that allows the video to play from within the browser.  Usually on a website with videos, the <embed> html includes the plugin link so that it will download automatically.  Either the site does not include this plugin or yours is corrupted.  Most likely yours is corrupted being that you can hear the sound.  Try uninstalling the plugin (instructions differ depending on media software) or switching the file type to a different media player if available.

what program are you using to play them and how old is your computer? the avi file may also be bad and thats why it does that.

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!

what is your video model and manufacture ?\ngo to the manufacture’s web site and search for this error message. If that would not help- try to search Yahoo! Search with those parameters. I’m sure you will find the answer

try running the new .wmv file (in windows media player) and see if it plays well, just to make sure that the conversion has been done correctly and that the new .wmv file contains your video data....

This is a bit like killing a mosquito with a shotgun, but I sugest you install the K-lite Mega codec pack - it contains basically every codec that exists.  While this is overkill for your problem, it should ensure that you never run into a video or audio file that you can't play.\n\nIt also includes the 'media player classic' - which I find to be vastly superior to the newer versions of media player, but you don't have to use it if you like WMP 11.\n\nJust download the file from the link I included and do the default install.  Reboot, and you should be good to go.
