Unable to open attachments .wmv file

WMV files

When I get emails with attached wmv files, I can not open.  I click on the file, I click Download, and then in the open attachment, but then nothing happens.  It is a new phenomenon on my computer.  Previously, these actions would result in opening the file.  How can I fix it?

Perhaps the current default is not set to Windows Media Player.

Start > default programs > associate a file type or an Exchange with a program > under the name at the top left, scroll down to .wmv > click it > look everywhere, under Default Current, it shoud say Windows Media Player...

If it is not the case, click on Change Program... > find Windows Media Player and click it > click OK when finished. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

  • cannot open a wmv file because a required codec is not available

    MacBook Mac OS X Version 10.7.5

    2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    QuickTime 7.7.1

    Try to open a wmv file, I received the following message

    When I go to "Tell Me More", I don't find an answer there.

    Any suggestions?

    QuickTime no has ever himself supported the opening of the WMV files, it's always the case. There is a piece of third-party suppliers of software that can add this feature known as Flip4Mac, it was free to simply play WMV files but is now no longer free. (Microsoft in the past were subsidizing the cost of this software.)

    See http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/overview.htm

    Your other option is to use something other than QuickTime, in which case the free VLC software will do the job, you can get VLC here. http://www.videolan.org/

  • Window Live Mail does not open the wmv files.

    Window Live Mail does not open the wmv files.  It comes up with an error that says: (wrong parameters).  Also gives the path that looks all wrong.  How can I change these settings?

    If I save the wmv on my desktop it will open, so I think that the file association is OK.

  • Unable to show a WMV file, because Windows 7 does not support the G2M4 codec

    I use windows 7 and I got a file wmv of my employer.  When I try to see I hear it but I can't.  The message I get is:

    "No decoder module appropriate:

    VLC does not support the audio or video format "G2M4". Unfortunately it is impossible for you to solve this problem. »

    Try to open in Windows Media Player and get this message "Windows Media Center cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

    Tried to download the current codec installation package and I got the message "the program is blocked due to compatibility issues".

    Run the fixit from Microsoft to search for any missing codec and the report that came back that no codec is missing.

    Please tell me there is a way that this can be corrected.

    It might be worth a try to re - encode the. WMV file.

    In many cases, I found that convert a. WMV file
    to the. WMV format could produce a new version of the
    compatible file. Sounds redundant, I know, but it
    can work.

    Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 can perform the conversion.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Download Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) (freeware)
    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24601

    +++

    If you want to try Expression Encoder 4 following
    info can be useful:

    Start Microsoft Expression Encoder 4
    (Start / programs / Microsoft Expression /)
    Microsoft Expression Encoder 4)

    On the "Load a new project" screen...
    Left click... "Transcoding project '...

    When the program opens, click on... File / import...

    Left click (highlight) the. Left and WMV file, click the Open button.

    You will see the file in the "Multimedia content" pane

    In the right column... left click on the tab "Output"...

    Open the drop directory window and choose an output folder.
    (This is where you will find your converted file)

    On the left, click on the button "encode".

    Wait... video encoding CPU intensive and can
    be a slow process. It is always best if you do not have
    multi-task while files are encoded.
