Hi rpwerner,
Please use the forum for Support of Vista,
This is a codec package from Microsoft you want to download to see if it will be useful. Also, try to update your Windows Media Player and Windows Update to get the latest version of the codec required to play the type of media.
You can also use your favorite search engine to look for codec packs available on the web to help you read the content.

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 .wmaIf 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.

Why Windows Vista Media Center Program Guide stopped working
I've been using Windows Vista Media Center as my main way to watch and record the TV, music, and Photos for a few years (shortly after Windows Vista came out).
Since January 1, 2013, the program guide showed no data.
I believe that this is because the Microsoft agreement with the broadcasting of the Data Services to the United Kingdom is exhausted.
What is Microsoft doing about this?
Can what steps I take to restore my Media Center if you work?
Hello Nikki Locke,

Windows Vista Media Center crashes when I change the channel
Original title: Windows Vista Media Center
Since the beginning of June whenever I try to change the channel on the TV tuner in Media Center it crashes. I tried to do a system restore but restore never worked on my count. Problem event name: APPCRASH. Application name: EHShell.exe I'm looking for suggestions that might solve this problem.
1] updated TV Tuner card driver. Visit the manufacturer's Web site and download and install the latest driver.
[2] delete the file mediaCenterDataStore.db. By default, this file is located in the following location:
%SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.DB
Delete: -.Start > run > type in %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.db > OK.
Locate mediaCenterDataStore.db and right-click on it, select Delete.
Restart the Media Center.
