File codec not installed

Since I've upgraded to Windows 7, I get a message every time I try to play a video that says that "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer"

You need to install the codec for any video that you are trying to run. The codec more common are installed with Windows, but there are dozens of others. You the best solution would be to try to install an all-in-one pack and see if that covers you. Search the Web for k - lite codec pack, you should find many places available for download. It of free and is a good base of codec. James Wolf MS - MVP [Multimedia]

  • Media Player cannot play, need to video codec not installed. What codec? Where do I get it? How to install it?

    Media Player cannot play, need to video codec not installed.  What codec?  Where do I get it? How to install it?

    Hello
     
     

    The video codec that is required to decode and display the video can not be installed on your computer.

    Today, there are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use. Some were created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the player includes a number of the most popular codecs, such as MP3, Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.
     

    Method 1.
    How to determine what codec is installed and how to install it automatically?
    a. to determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties.
    b. on the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.
    Download and install the Codecs by going to the PLAYER tab and check.
    c. connect you to the Internet and Download Codecs automatically.
    For more information about codecs, see the articles below:
    Codecs: Frequently asked questions
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/codecs-frequently-asked-questions

    Method 2.
    If you know the name of the codec or its ID (called a id FourCC for video codecs or a WaveFormat identifier for audio codecs), try the search on the Internet. Often, you can go to the codec manufacturer's Web site to download the latest version of a codec.

  • PDF Conversion files do not install with 3rd party software.

    I used the software and data base of third party software (field office) and Realfast forms of contract.  The ability to PDF coverter will not install during the installation of the software.  (I installed AgentOffice allowing installation to move on to the pdf section.)  With Realfast, it seems to install, but does not work.)  I had to communicate with these two software vendors and have spent a lot of time remove and reinstall the software without success.  Support think it's something in my system.

    I even installed PrimoPDF, a free PDF conversion tool, to work around the problem.  However, even after a successful installation, the printer is not with my printers.  Therefore, I have no way to convert files to PDF format.    Help, please.

    Hello caryrealestate,

    ·         What is the exact error that you get while trying to install this component?

    ·         Have you checked whether the software is compatible with Windows 7?

    You can follow the link below to check if the contact PDF database you are tying to install is compatible with Vista.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/

    Alternatively, you can try to install the database in XP compatibility mode and check if it works.

    Here is an article that will give you more information about this:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    In any case, if you do not all work programmes for conversion to PDF, you can consider converting by using Office (in case if you want to convert word files to PDF).

    See the links below:

  • HP OfficeJet 4500 Wireless: lack the hpsupportsolutionsframework.msi file may not install/uninstall

    I got caught by the Windows default update from 7 to 10.

    10 was a little bug, but I gave him a few weeks to see if it could be arranged.

    Yesterday, I got a notice from HP that I needed to upgrade my printer software, so I did, which was my mistake, it seems.

    The upgrade process didn't go smoothly and in the end, I had no way to access my printer/scanner, the HP solution Center which I use to make my scanner was gone.

    It's been half a day trying to solve this problem, including downgrading to Windows 7 and to uninstall and reinstall the printer software, but nothing works.

    A critical issue seems to be an error message I get that said file hpsupportsolutionsframework.msi is missing from the temp/local directory.

    So, how do you return this file?

    At this point, I'm pretty disappointed with HP, because I just followed the advice you guys to make a necessary upgrade.  everything worked fine before this.

    Hey @Hermitaño

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have some problems with the software for your Officejet 4500 Wireless all-in-One Printer. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

    1. Click Start and in the bar look in %Temp%, and then press ENTER.
    2. In this folder, find the folder whose name starts with 7Z.
    3. Open the folder util/ccc.
    4. Run L3_uninstall.bat.
    5. Restart your PC.
    6. Download and install the latest drivers for your printer by clicking on this link.

    Please let me know the results after following the above. If you can print, click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.
