You simply need the correct codecs (COmpressors and DECompressors) installed to play the files.\n\nThe one I use is called K-Lite Codec Pack, and is free.\n\nYou can download it from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

To make Windows Media Player your default media player, follow these steps: 1. In Windows Media Player, click Tools, and then click Options. \n2. On the Formats tab, under Available File Formats, click Select All to select all of the file formats listed (or you can click to select each individual check box). \n3. Click Apply, and then click OK.

hey , i had this prob too, download the divX player, it'll tell you what codec is needed and is a better player than windows, then head over to download dot com and look up audio or video codec as needed and you should be sorted.

Forget Windows Media Player and get the VLC Player, http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html (it supports all video codecs)

Just make sure you have the latest codecs installed... You can do this by downloading the latest version of Windows Media Player (www.microsoft.com/windowsmedia)\n\nThe only other reason would be if some of hte other statiosn are streaming using Real Media or quicktime (then you would need those players).

You need to download the DivX codec that Windows Media Player provides, just click Web Help and find it. I had the same problem.

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 leaving the Media Player v. 9 and try Downloading Version: 10.\n\nIt works fine with me...

Try reinstalling your original Windows Media Player.  If that doesn't work you may try to download another version of the Windows Media Player which should include the proper codecs needed to function correctly.

Try vplayer or bs player or windows media player classic.\nAlso install Ace Mage Codecs from here : http://www.softpedia.com/get/multimedia/...

Upgrade your Windows Media player. Chances are that the WMV file you're tring to view was encoded using a newer codec.
