    Hello bestparlaywinter,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    What is the file format of the video file you are trying to play? You may need to use the default program features to set the program you want Windows to use to open your video file.

    To set the default program to use the following steps:

    ·        Click Start > default program

    ·        Choose to associate any type of file or Protocol with a program

    ·        Select the type of file (video format) in the list, and then click Change Program

    ·        Choose the program you want to use to open this file (for example Windows Media Player), and then click OK

    ·        Click close to exit from this window

    Try to open your video file again

  • Windows vista Media Player

    I have windows vista and my Media Player will not play anything at all... not music, videos or stuff that is sent in my email. I am computer illiterate, so whatever the responses I get please make sure you put Taylor in a way that I can understand them! Thank you

    I have windows vista and my Media Player will not play anything at all... not music, videos or stuff that is sent in my email. I am computer illiterate, so whatever the responses I get please make sure you put Taylor in a way that I can understand them! Thank you

    Take a look at the attachment provided with email.
    It has a file name, and at the end of the file name, there are 3 letters.
    The 3 letters are the file format of the attachment.

    Windows Media Player only supports the following file formats:
    Video files: .asf, .avi, .dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv
    Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma

    If your audio or video attachments do not have one of the above file formats, Windows Media Player will not play them.

    In this case, you will need to go to the web, google for a FREE audio or video converter. Use the converter and change the file formats.
    For the video format, I highly recommend WMV format because it's more reliable.
    For the audio format, use mp3, wma or wav, in that order.

    For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

    Codecs: Frequently asked questions
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

    All you need is good Codec

    Check here:

    Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
    http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    If 64 bits and you need codec.

    Read this 1st and go that route, or use the one below. (Vista or Windows 7)

    http://www.Vistax64.com/sound-audio/152850-Vista-codec-pack-32bit-64bit-Media-Player-codecs.html

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    If 64-bit - can run WMP in 32 or 64 bit mode.

    Or try these: download - SAVE - go to the place where your put them RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN.

    For 32-bit use these - OR the 32 bit ones listed above which I prefer.

    K - Lite Codec Pack 10.0.0 (or newer)
    http://www.codecguide.com/

    Use them for 64-bit:

    K - Lite Codec Pack (64-bit) 10.0.0 (or newer)
    http://www.codecguide.com/

    K - Lite now includes BOTH 32 and 64 bits in a single download installable.

    Also look for updates, September 6, 2013, was K-Lite Codec Pack 10.0.3
    Download and install it after the main program.

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    You know that you use WMP 32 or 64

    Change, modify or value 64-bit Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) in Windows Vista x 64 as default (or WMP12 - Windows7)
    http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/01/19/switch-change-or-set-64-bit-Windows-Media-Player-11-WMP11-in-Windows-Vista-x64-as-default/
