  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

Hello

1. could you give me the exact error that you are experiencing?

The video codec required to decode and display the video can not be installed on your computer. For example, if you try to read a file that has been encoded using the DivX video codec and you do not have this codec installed on your computer, you will probably hear the audio portion of the file, but you will not see the video.

Similarly, if you try to read a file that has been encoded using the MPEG-2 video codec and you do not have a compatible MPEG-2 decoder (also called a DVD decoder) installed on your computer, you may see an error message or encounter other problems of reading.

For more information on finding and downloading codecs, see Codecs: frequently asked questions. For more information about installing an MPEG-2 decoder on your computer, go to theWeb page of DVD plug-in decoder.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Flash will not play some videos (under vista only!)

    Hello I am puzzled that flash will not play some videos

    (for example from dailymotion.com or canalplus.fr).

    The problem exists with the current version (10,3 r183)

    But if I try to downgrade or with v11 beta...

    On the same machine, I can also boot XP or linux

    where everything works as expected, but no dice on winvista

    (SP2)! I've also updated my nvidia display drivers

    and I tried to disable hardware acceleration and temporarily

    my firewall and my anti-virus, nothing helps.

    I see it with IE7/FF6/Chrome.

    All the operating systems are 32-bit.

    Note that some sites have very well (e.g. youtube)

    Can someone suggest something, please?

    Let's try the following:

    1. Close the browser windows
    2. In Explorer, navigate to the following folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\ (the best way to do this is to type %appdata%\microsoft\windows\sendto in the path of the Explorer bar).
    3. Remove the Macromedia folder
    4. Then, go to the Adobe folder and delete the folder 'Flash Player' inside.
    5. Finally, go to "c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash" and look for a file mms.cfg.  If it is present, please rename it.

    Once done, try those sites to reoffend.

  • my windows media player is VERY slow to start, sometimes stops working, will not play some videos

    When I run the program it opens but will not play a song sometimes longer than 15 minutes. Stops working and the screen will sometimes foggy transparent white - I can still see the player, but he has a white on fog. Today, that happen when you try to copy a cd. -just a regular old cdr.

    Show first frame of video and play a sound but video does not move. Windows vista-home premium-toshiba.

    I suggest that you try to reset the media library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click on the service and click on stop.
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this file, rename the old Media Player like Media Player folder. If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists.

  • Windows Media player 12 will not play .avi files

    Original title: Media Player 12

    I have WMP12 on my windows 7 and never had a problem 2 days ago. Now I can't play video files, it seems to be only the .avi files. When I click on it I get a message saying that windows media player has stopped working and is looking for a solution. Some of these files, I had some time and always played using WMP12 without problems. It will play everything, MP4, MP3, audio books simply not excerpts from movies avi, I looked for updates, codec & addons, nothing helps, any suggestions

    I already have VLC that I use for the .mkv files, but I prefer WMP it has better quality image and sound. I downloaded the codecs from the link you gave me, (Combined-Community-Codec-Pack-2013-08-01) and installed it. Yay it worked. Thank you very much
