[SOLVED] Media Player in XP

Hi all

I have a minor problem using media player 9 under Windows XP.

It seems that almost every movie I play does not work! It trries to download a codec and then fails. I end up using divx player to view all my movies.

Has anyone had this problem too?

What happens when it" fails"?Do you get an error message,and if so can you copy and paste it here?

 

I do a get a message...I'll paste it in later when I get home.

Thanks for your reply rude.

Just checked...no specific error message..it just says error downloading codec. The movie plays but there is only sound and no picture.

Where can one download codecs from?

Open tools/option/files types in Media Player. Check all file types and see if that works.

 

thanks Nutter.....I'll give it a go!
