  Hello

  1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

  2 - is confined to a specific DVD problem?

  To resolve this problem, you can try to install the video codec and check if the problem persists.

  A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

  A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

  If you are using Windows XP - please refer to this article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306318

• Windows Media Player 11 will not files play.wmv

  I am running XP SP3, updated with all the current patches. Current AE 8.0.6. Just upgraded to WMP 11 from WMP 9 and now it won't play my .wmv old movie files. Instead, he plays them in something called "ActiveMovie window', as I understand is part of the application of IE now. I tried the "Apply media information changes" button in the menu TOOLS in WMP 11 without effect. WMP 11 is called upon to play .wmv files (Types of files are by default: select all). And in OPTIONS for FILES, TYPES OF files, the .wmv extension is set to open and play with Windows Media Player, not IE or any other program (e.i. QuickTime).

  WMP 11 play .mpeg as usual files.

  Can find little information about the ActiveMovie window, except that it is now an integral part of the IE. What happens here?

  In WMP on your profile, go to Tools - Options- Performance (press Ctrl + M, if you don't see the Tools menu) and click on restore by default . Who help me? Tim Baets

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

  I've had this laptop for a decent amount of years, and for a while, the music player was working fine. Sometimes this message would jump to the top, and then others it would not. Until a few weeks ago, he never seemed to go away and work again. Now, I do everything I can to remedy this. But it doesn't seem to work. I need for this weekend, really bad.

• Windows Media Player for Vista, does not play my avi files and says he has a codec error?

  Came across this problem trying to put an AVI in powerpoint presentation for the school. I don't know how this happened or how to fix the error. The error indicates that windows media player is not the right codec to play the video. However, when I sent it myself and opend it upwards on another computer, which doesn't have powerpoint, it plays very well.

  I did some research as to what a codec for windows media player, that's what code and decodes the video compression. However, when I tried to download the appropriate codec file, there is nothing. Not even useful workaround solutions.

  In addition, went and downloaded quicktime and it could not read the video either.

  Any help or ideas would be greatly apreciated. Thank you!

  Hi DaisyReaper,

  Are you able to play .avi files?

  You can use your favorite search engine to download and install the latest codec for Windows Media Player. Subsequently, check if you are able to read .avi files.

  Note: 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.
