your computer's video card or the driver for the video card can't support the resolution required for the video to be viewed.

start by seeing if there is any hardware issues. right click my computer|goto hardware|device manager|scroll dwon to sound video controller|click on the + tab|is there is a question mark over any of the stuff you see there.simply just richt click and update the drivers ..it will do it via the internet. you can do this any way to get the latest update for the current driver...take care\nthe maddMann

Maybe you need a Codec.\nCertain videos needd certain add-ons for media player to make them play - you just need to take a look at the error messages, find the codec, and download it.\n\nEDIT: The others are right, I used Div-X

you need to download the correct codec, start Wmp then tools, plugins, download plugins, you'll find a list of them, find the 1 that plays, mp4's and your away, \n\nR3dm0

Yeah sounds very much like a codec issue.\n\ngoto http://www.divx.com and download the free player.\nThat should sort out a lot of common playback issues.

try some other video player like real player or media player classic or winamp

You may need to upgrade quicktime.\n\nGo to quicktime.com

Use media player 11. It will definitely resolve your little problem. Furthermore, you might not have enabled side speakers on. There are front speakers, rear and side. That'll do fine.

Ok, some codecs are missing or coruppted or you may use expired codecs ( when limited time hit !), download the following codec pack (make sure that DirectX 8.1 or above is installed on your PC)

You could try updating it to the new version. It could be from an incompatibility with the codec pack installed on the computer.

I would suggest downloading and installing the k-lite codec pack. http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm It contains nearly every codec, if not actually every one. Since getting it I have not run into a single audio or video file I couldn't play.

Maybe it's corrupt. Try downloading it again. Or maybe you don't have the correct codecs.

try using vlc.  It plays almost any sort of video file.  You can find it here ::    http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

try getting a free copy of VLC media player. it will play just about anything there is, or look for the codecs for avi and the type of mpeg you are trying to play on line, download them and put them in the codec foldae in windows media player

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.

Yes, get latest version, but make sure you setup the preferences correctly. this will ensure good quality playback.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.
