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

Windows Media Player works great and it comes with your computer.  Go to program files and find the WMP and add a shortcut to your desktop.  Open up WMP program and insert the movie into the DVD drive and then open the movie upper left hand corner of Win Media Player. \nE

Sometimes this happens when the format of the file is not compatible with WMP. You may need to download some codec which will allow you to play the file. First you need to know what type of file it is then search for a player or the codec for the WMP to play it. \n\nGood Luck

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.

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

On Windows, you have to use Quicktime.. or you can play them on a PSP and probably a video iPod as well.\n\nYou can probably convert them to another format (avi or mpeg 2) and then you can view them with Windows Media Player.

Microsoft video files? \nAre you refering to "wmv"s (windows media viewer files)\nIf so, you are able to change wmv's into avi and other formats, simply go to...\n\nStart>programs>accessories> Windows Movie Maker\n\nThen when you are saving your movie file, be sure to change the format to avi, or what ever you need.

IF you still can not get windows movie maker to work you can always try video lan's VLC media player.  It is an excellent program to view video, if that is all you want to do at this poit.   Check it out and install it. I use it.  \n\nhttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/\n\ncheers! http://www.pr6.com

Actually, Flip4Mac is a terrific program that plays WMV files within QuickTime. In my experience this actually IMPROVES the reliability of WMV content. Download it at http://flip4mac.com/wmv.htm\n\nIt's very easy to install and works transparently. Once Flip4Mac is installed, just double-click any WMV file and it will automagically open in QuickTime and play perfectly.

Well, you cant actually “view” audio files but downloading and installing quicktime is a sure fire way to take care of this issue. It will play audio and video in almost any format.

i cant totally help but I do know that you need to save it as a different format that isnt as big of a file. Such asif its .wmv it may need to be a quicktime file.
