  Windows Media Player won't play the .zip files. How to see or play these files? I'm 67 and not tech savvy thanks for the help.

  Hello

  ZIP files are compressed, so you need to unzip and then play the content if the
  content is of type WMP files.

  Compress and uncompress files (zip files)

  It seems that you did not actually transfer files... did you
  check files on the jumpdrive to see if they would play?

  Might be interesting to try another.

• Windows Media Player error "cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer.

  Original title: Windowo Media Player error

  Why do I get an error whenever I try to view a video WMV?

  Here's what he said:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer.

  Is it really not installed? I double click on the video on other computers and it works fine.

  Please advise...

  well Hi there, I've corrected some images deleted & videos (via a recover my files program) from my camcorder format (.mov), I can play the photos, but windows media player will not play videos. What can I do, help please?

  well Hi there, I've corrected some images deleted & videos (via a recover my files program) from my camcorder format (.mov), I can play the photos, but windows media player will not play videos. What can I do, help please?

  Media Windows Player does not support the .mov file format.
  Go on the web, google for a FREE video converter.
  Use the converter and modify the video .mov to WMV.
  Play again. Should work now.

• Windows Media Player starts to play the CD/DVD (in any tab) with AutoPlay disabled

  On any tab, Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11) starts automatically play a CD/DVD when inserted.  Regardless it's 'Take no Action' set for each media or device on the AutoPlay control panel.  The OS is Vista Ultimate 64-bit.  The only modification or plug-in is Windows Live Messenger Music Plug-in that has been disabled.

  Steps to reproduce (in the tab extract)

  1. The default value for all devices and media types 'take no Action' (via Control Panel)
  2. Open WMP11
  3. Change to tab extract, click on the drop down arrow
  4. Make sure that "Never" is selected under ' Rip CD when inserted automatically "
  5. Insert an audio CD
  6. You will notice that WMP11 won't start Ripper but starts to play

  This isn't the desired system response.  I want the player to display the information of the album but not start playing.  Currently, I have to manually stop CD/DVD every time.  This behavior produces on each tab not only the tab extract.  However, this behavior does not occur if I play any format of media when you insert a CD/DVD.

  I have a number of albums with information that WMP does not reflect accurately or replaced with incorrect catalog data.  Before the tear, I want to fix the information.

  To be clear, what follows has already been done and checked:

  1. Go to the control panel
  2. Select "Hardware and sound"
  3. Select 'AutoPlay'
  4. Make sure "AutoPlay for all media and devices use" is checked
  5. Select 'take no Action' for each item listed
  6. Select 'Save'

• upgrade activation code will not work on windows vista premium due to special circumstances. What should I do?

  I had vista OEM with laptop which hard drive has crashed, gateway does not support the system more, and I have no recovery disk.  I bought Vista premium edition and installed a new hard drive in the solid state, and it won't let me register the software because there is no software on the new drive and I do not have the OEM cd more.  I used my old XP install the first (that I replaced on another PC with win7) to try and it has not installed correctly on the solid state.  What I can do, I wouldn't buy a full version...

  You can use the double-install method to install Vista - * assuming * that you have an OEM license valid for XP or Vista on this machine.

  First install Vista using the default key (by penetrates not not in ANY key when you perform the installation), and then repeat the installation, this time using your upgrade key.

• Windows Media Player will only play a sound with no video .avi and .mov

  I started having a problem where the Windows Media Player will only play the audio portion of my .avi and .mov video files.

  These files were created by my FlipCam or my Sony Handycam.

  I never had problems until recently and think that it is due to some kind of Windows Update.

  Both my computer and my wife's computer had the same problem and we are both using Windows XP Home Edition.

  I apologize if this topic already on this forum.

  Thanks for any help and advice.

  CoDec = compressor decompressor.
  A program is used to compress the file. You then need to unpack the file to play, you need the codec used to compress the file to decompress it on your pc.
  You need DVD playing software installed to power the mpeg codec, or you can buy a codec to just run in media player.
  AVI is a wrapper and may well contain more than 800 different file types, it has 800 different codecs!  Thus, to read an avi file, you should know what codec was used to do and have that installed on your pc to read.
  DV.avi is made with the dv codec, divx.avi is made with the divx codec.
  Of course, that manufacturers make their codecs, you must make sure you have the latest being, to be able to read files made with it, so everything just because you downloaded the codec divx 12 months ago does not mean it will play files created with codecs of today!

  I hope this explains it is ok for you.

  It surprises me that you say that you have downloaded all the updates of altest, but are still running wmp9, where we are now on WMP11 for XP and 12 for win7.

  I would update my WMP version first.

  Here is a page that will tell you that the codecs are on your pc and who has access to WMP 11.
  http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/HowToFindCodecs.html

  Here is a page that will tell you how to know what codec was used to create the file that you are trying to watch and also if you have the right codec for it
  http://www.myvideoproblems.com/tutorials/AVIcodec.html

  It is generally accepted that the codec packs adding is a bad idea, so if you need a codec to read a certain file, google it's manufacturer and just install the one you need.

  I would work just on the pc at the same time when you found what the problem is, you can fix on the other 2.

  Need more help with this, just ask.
