• Windows Media Player cannot play the videos

  Since the last 2 months I find that my Windows Media Player cannot play the videos. After having tried many, I installed the third-party Codec such as GOM Player, GOM DECODER and GOM converter on an experimental basis. For all its operation I installed that for the second time (test period = 1 month). Now, I found some unusual - the entire screen with prop-up Windows began to appear "foggy, unusually large screen, Visuality fuzzy." So GOM was 'uninstalled' in the menu 'program & feature. When he learned from the Microsoft Forum I installed k - lite Codec system. Now, some of my videos recorded under 'Image' menu works fine. But the videos stored in the "library" of WMP is not reacting. I need your advice. Again, in a prop-up window of K-Lite has asked to opt feither for: (i) (ii) repairs, (Iii) remove or change. I opted for changing file Windows Vista Codec - was the selection was appropriate? Should I opt for Vista Codec file repair?

  May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

  Options: -.

  1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

  2] download and install the codecs

  Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

  Hello

  1. what changes have been made to your computer before the problem?
  2. the problem occurs on a particular file?
  3. What is the format of the file you want to play in Windows Media Player?

  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.
