  Hello daninwyo, welcome.

  FLV (Flash content), which is based on the web, is not supported in Windows Media Player. You have to find a third party codec package that supports flash or try a different media player on the internet.

• How to play .asx files in Windows Media Player

  original title; Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  When I try to play the file, WMP shows error then update says "video codec".

  How then can I get this update for the video codec?

  Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

  Hi Mike,.

  an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

  Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

  When I try to play videos online, my Windows media player opens and I see the circle goes round & round, can be buffered, but nothing comes out, no picture or sound.

  Hi frank questions,.

  1. where you can read online videos using Windows media player earlier?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3. it happens with all the videos online?

  4. What is the type of internet connection you use?

  It's the first time you try to play online videos if due to an internet connection slow or installed on the computer security software.

  I'd say temporary you disable the security software on the computer and check if it works.

  Disable the anti-virus software

• I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP

  I have a dell machine running xp / sp3 who has started having failures to download or install updates may 9.  Since then he has not installed updates even if it is set to do so all night at 04:00.  It is also doing the same thing on the other computer desk in the small office LAN we have running off a verizon for DSL router.  Chess began the same night, May 9.  Here to install updates from the windows update page also failed.  I ran the utility 'Difficulty now' from microsoft, and it has not fixed the problem.

  Thanks in advance for your help to solve this problem.

  Original title: I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP since May 9. Downloads keep failing.

  If you have been playing around with the settings, you'd be wise to resinstall.  All that are "machine accounts" which are automatically defined by the system to the evolution of random passwords.  If you have accounts of changes of ntauthority to other accounts, you perhaps weakened the security level of the operating system.

  No it's not a portal, that even Microsoft doesn't know what are these passwords.
