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

Similar Questions

• Windows Media Player (v.11) will not play my avi files!

  This just started recently... today I imported my son videos on my computer and they are simple AVI files that I don't know if easily and easily play on WMP without problem, and they always until I just tried... I try to open the video and at the bottom, he says its "acquired codeq', but then the error message:"a codec is needed to play this file. To determine if this codec is available to download, click on help on the Web"... then I do. Then he said something like "module10: Opera" or something... I guess that means Opera, the browser, that I downloaded in desperation, since longer works also none of my browsers except IE 64-bit... (any other problem in itself!) but I've removed opera once I realized that it was just like the other browsers: non-working on my computer! So I don't know what's happening on here all of a sudden but its boring and I don't know how to fix it. I tried Quicktime and it opens very well but it is a black screen-no sound or picture. What is going on?! I used DriverCure reallocate what types of files are partners/open with this program, but that did not help. What can I do to view today's simple avi files? :(

  Try google for a FREE video converter.
  Use it to convert the format of your video to WMV format.
  Now try to play in WMP. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

• Windows Media Player in Vista does not work. Installation of Windows 7 Home Premium will fix the problem?

  Windows Media Player does not work.  Impossible to use slide show programs, can not open attachments that require Media Player.  Tried to update and couldn't.  Couldn't fix it.

  Hello

  Run the sfc/scannow command.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

  If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

• Windows Media Player in Vista does not...

  I tried to access online training videos and must use Windows Media Player to watch... but it doesn't.  I tried to figure in program files so I can uninstall and reinstall but it is not listed there.  I also tried to upgrade, but it says that I have a version see more.  I did a scan on it and it found 3 bugs cleaned but NOTHING works!  How can I fix something you can't find even listed?  He isn't listed as a program, but still, I get a message saying that I have the latest version, so I can not upgrade or install another version.

  In Vista, Windows media Player is part of the operating system. It cannot be unonstalled, or you can install another. He lives and dies with the system.

  See if this Support MS tutorial can help you:

  Hello Pacone

  According to Walter, Microsoft Windows Vista comes with Media Player 11. So please could you clarify the application you are using? The version you gave I guess maybe it is Windows Movie Maker. Here is the link for Windows Live Movie Maker 2011. You can download the latest Live Movie Maker from here. http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Movie-Maker?OS=other

• Windows media player shuffle function does not work repeat the songs for two lanes

  I run windows 7 and Media player as my player used by default since I use a computer a decade ago, I find it does everything what I want (in general), however, recently, when I open him and invariably put to play a playlist, if it's the shuffle, it seems to alternate between two songs, I then go manually click on another track that , for some reason, seems to sort it out. Any ideas please? Martin.

• Windows Media Player volume control does not work during DVD playback.

  When I play a DVD in Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center I can't adjust the volume with the volume control of the program or main Windows volume control.  Simply sound 100% flight.  It's on a HTPC connected to an A / V recevier, so the only way to adjust the sound with the volume of the receiver control.  When I play any other type of multimedia (avi, mp3, etc.) in the two WMP or WMC in the program volume control is working properly.  The interesting part is, when I play a DVD using VLC Player or Cyberlink Power DVD the volume setting in the program as well as the main Windows volume control works correctly.  This leads me to believe it's a software is not a hardware problem.  I think that WMP and WMC using the same "engine" so the same problem knocking them both.

  Other info:

  Windows 7 64-bit.

  Windows Media Player 12 version

  Audio is routed to the receiver via the digital coaxial

  For what it's worth, this same problem occurred with the same exact material when I'm running Vista 32 bit.

  All other software is the latest version with all updates installed.

  Any ideas are welcomed and appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Reinstall the WMP and WMC application and see if it works very well.

  1. open the Control Panel -> programs and features.

  2. click on Windows to enable or disable features in the left pane.

  3 expand the multimedia features, disable Windows Media Player. Click Yes to continue, and then click OK to exit. Then restart.

  Note: If you turn off your WMP, Windows Media Center will be off either. You may need to reconfigure the settings for Windows Media Center after her reactivation.

  4. open or turn off Windows features turn on again. Functionality in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. Turn it back on.

  5. launch Windows Media Player, initialize the program.

  PS: If you turn off your WMP, Windows Media Center will be off either. This does not happen when we choose to turn off MCE.

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

Have uninstalled/reinstalled that the software of the device, but still does not work.  I hope someone can help.
