• Windows Media Player does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  I can't do some of my videos to play it goes on to say that Windows media player does not support the codec used to compress the file. How can I fix?

  Hello

  What is the file format of the video files you are trying to play in Windows Media Player?

  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.

   

  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 the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

  Please see the bottom of the article that 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.

  WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• New version of Windows Media Player does not support extracting mp3... suggestions?

  My home computer has crashed and had to be rebuilt with the new operating system.  So I got the machine back with what I assume is a newer version of Windows XP.  New but, as usual with MicroSofty, not improved.  Now they apparenty realize that they make any money of format mp3 and everything just stopped supporting.  (imagine if Nikon stopped supporting jpeg format?  ) They try to convince you how fantastic their new WMA file format is and do you want to hunt for a bolt on app which will tear actually mp3.  And where they send that you do have an app to do what I can see.

  I installed lame, but which does not allow mp3 rips.

  Any suggestions?

  There was once a version where you had to manually install the codec BLADE. I thought it was a LONG time there, but maybe he was 10?

  No matter, 11 > 10. Already install and arrive at tear.

  I installed a new copy of Windows XP on a hard disk nine, installed Service Pack 1, Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3, installed Internet Explorer 8 installed .NET Framework 2.0 as Microsoft requested, modified popup settings to allow Windows Update page to be free to scan my system for updates, etc... and I even enabled all Active X permissions BUT I still can't Windows Update to allow me to download all updates, patches, etc... Windows Update has generally

  I also turned on automatic updates requirement also BUT no dice - I can't just not update Windows to activate and start as normal, no matter how many times I format the drive and do a fresh install.

  I had to get a new drive hard as my old crashed.

  Now, I have to install Windows XP again but I noticed how old, easy to update somehow has been paralyzed.

  It's as IF Microsoft is crippling of Windows Update to start simple as pie, then now we users HAVE to jump through hoops to get our operating system Windows XP set to day and repeatedly queries Microsoft asks us or install 'FIX IT' service does not work and it is impossible to reach by phone about Microsoft , and the live online help runs into errors when it is installed, so I have to hit the Internet Forum here for advice.

  How, in words simple Windows XP allow Windows Update to run the scan, to download and install the process what it is supposed to do?

  What exactly is missing to allow the screen to show the green bar and scan the notificiation there have updates available?

  Is there a maintenance program master as an "all-in-One rollup patch" that will search the lack of programs, applications, and settings of Windows XP and makes a one-way relay to set everything right and ensure that the programs needed to make Windows Update work are knitted in Windows XP, including all programs missing subprogrammes and to settings then check their self errors or incorrect version but it provides goes off to FIND the RIGHT version of What is needed?

  Or better yet a disc Compilation of master i.e. Final Service Pack 4.0 that contains all fixes known on DVD that would be found in the downloaded Windows Update but rather is purchased for $10.00 that contains each hotfix and update known for Windows XP so that we can manually update Windows XP on the side of the user of the Internet without having to go on the internet?

  It is stated in "How to obtain the latest service pack XP" is.

  If you have problems obtaining the service pack from Windows Update, you can download the package of standalone update from the Download Center.

  This page will say that this installation package is intended for it professionals and developers. However, you can download this file safely.

  The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

  Download the Windows XP Service Pack 3 package now

  FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed. Back to all the way back to IE6. You want other patches before you get those. Reboot after doing this.

  You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

  Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

  Install it.

  Reset.

  Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

  Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

  Hello

  1. don't you also get an error with the message code?
  2 have you installed third-party readers part?
  3. What is the format of the files you are trying to play?

  Follow these steps and check if they help.

  Step 1:

  I would have you readers of third party temporarily Uninstall and check if persists it to the question.

  Step 2:

  Most likely you need codecs to play these files with Windows Media Player. I suggest looking up codec in the Internet that supports the file format, download and install them.

  If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...

  Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...
