my windows media cannot read a file because it does not support the code, with which it has been compressed. What program is best to open it
the file is BHS1_Dwayne.rpc
I'm confused why I can't open it. Is there a way I can change the file type or use a general program
Hello
You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:
(a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.
(b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.
Windows media player will play only files, if it supports this type of file.
Please see the article which gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992
If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

Original title: WMP "can't play wav or midi.
Using WMP 11 on Windows XP SP3.
Windows Media Player has somehow forgotten how to play wav or midi files. Doubleclicking either of these file types give an error "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. " There is a button 'Close' and 'Web Help' which still informs me, "you met the C00D1199 error message... ". ». Following the advice given nothing less than useful.
I can easily play these files with RealPlayer or VLC so I don't think it's a driver problem, and it wasn't a corruption right after installing the other players. WMP seems to work OK when playing music or AVI. And there is no harm to hear a sound (wav or midi) in Windows for various system events. Have already uninstalled/reinstalled WMP without result.
Thanks for your reply.
I have since determeined the problem comes from an updated codec package I installed a few weeks ago. These codecs were from Shark007 which I believe is a Microsoft MVP. Use the codecs from this site for a number of years without any problems so I did not initially suspect it was the source of the problem. I uninstalled the codec pack and installed K-light package and everything seems to be Ok now. Now, I'll be in contact with the members of this forum.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file. (((PLEASE HELP)))
I understand that this has been a matter of repetition and I made the suggestions listed and nothing works. This just started happening, although downloading songs, and once they are finished I'm not able to play them with Windows Media Player. The initial message indicates that the file has an extension that is not recognized by Windows Media Player.
I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows Vista Home. Any suggestions? What should I chahnge how I download and save music?

I got this error message when you try to play an MP4 video. Help please!

You can try to download the http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=507 Codec Installation Package

Windows gives you integrated programs to open the image as png files.
In Vista, use Windows Photo Gallery to open png files.
In Windows 7, if you use it, you can use Windows Photo Viewer to open png files.
If you have installed Windows Live Essentials, you can use Windows live Photo Gallery to open png files.
