No video, only the sound in Windows Media Player

Hello. Out of nowhere my videos stopped playing in Windows Media Player and I get sound. Most show a static of a frame of my video picture, while others display the icon by default windows media player. In both cases the sound plays normally but no mobile video!
All videos play perfectly (both video and audio) in Windows Media Center, however I prefer to have them play in the drive by default as they did. I did some research online and tried a few things, but nothing worked and I'm hesitant to download codecs that can be harmful.  Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

My Info:

MS Windows7 Home Premium 64 - bit SP1
Using Windows Media Player Version: 12.0.7601.18150

Boring! ... Just a thought - have you tried a reboot later?  If "Fixit" indicated everything is supposed to be fine with WMP, the link below (copied from previous post) could be worth trying...

When you tried "System Restore" to what extent did you go back - it was automatically a restore point, or before the updates, etc. have been installed?

  • Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. Windows Media Player C00D11B1

    I get this error when I try to play a file I've downloaded BBC iplayer. What is the solution?

    My sound driver and the device is installed and running as I am able to listen to music on my laptop. He used to work until I upgraded to Windows 7. and since I have updated it did not work. Windows Media Player works on other video files

    Please try the following steps: -.

    1. use Windows Update, or access the sound device manufacturer's Web site to see if an updated driver is available.

    2. use Device Manager to check the status of your audio device.

    a. click Start, right-click computerand then click Manage.

    (b) in the left pane, click Device Manager.

    c. in the pane, expand sound, video and game controllersand then look for the name of your audio device.

    d. do one of the following:

    3. If your audio device is listed, but the icon has a red 'X', the device has been disabled.          To activate the device, right-click the icon, and then click Activate.

    4. If your audio device is not listed in the right pane, expand other devices. If the Multimedia Audio Controller appears in the list, right-click on the icon and then click Update driver software. Follow the on-screen instructions to find and install the driver software.

    5. If you are not able to find and install the correct driver software, go to the Web site of your computer or the manufacturer of your sound device manufacturer for assistance.

    6. If you do not have a sound device installed on your computer, install an audio device and then try to play the file again. For more information, go to the Web site your manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of your audio device.

    7. If you try to play a file on the Internet, try again later. The server may be temporarily unavailable or there could be a network problem.

    8. If you try to play an MP3 file that contains compressed ID3 headers, make a copy of the file and then use an ID3 tag non - editing program Microsoft to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers.

    The ID3 header is a part of the file that stores the album information of the song (for example, the song name, artist name, album name and kind). This information is sometimes called tag. After you remove the headers ID3, Windows Media Player should be able to play MP3 files.
