• 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.

• Windows Media Player does not open or play. WMV files.

  Windows Media Player does not open or play. WMV files. I am running Vista and everything is automatically updated the newer versions. Windows Media Player worked fine a month ago, when he would be dismissed intermittently just opening. Restarting the computer should solve the problem. Now, however, I can not open the drive or open any. WMV files that used to play properly in the past. Reboot and clear the cache and cookies does not work. On the other hand, the Media Player for Internet Explorer plugin works very well. Please notify. On the other hand, the Media Player for Internet Explorer plugin works very well.

  The WMP for DVD is correct. You need a DVD encoder (software)

• 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.

  Hello Tango6,

  Maybe your security software prevents this? What security software currently installed and have you tried to disable it temporarily?
  Given that this occurs only with your Gmail account, I'd be willing to bet that they have in place security measures to prevent reading straight out of email attachments.

• Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. Windows Media Player C00D11B1

  I get this error when I try to play a file I've downloaded BBC iplayer. What is the solution?

  My sound driver and the device is installed and running as I am able to listen to music on my laptop. He used to work until I upgraded to Windows 7. and since I have updated it did not work. Windows Media Player works on other video files

  Please try the following steps: -.

  1. use Windows Update, or access the sound device manufacturer's Web site to see if an updated driver is available.

  2. use Device Manager to check the status of your audio device.

  a. click Start, right-click computerand then click Manage.

  (b) in the left pane, click Device Manager.

  c. in the pane, expand sound, video and game controllersand then look for the name of your audio device.

  d. do one of the following:

  3. If your audio device is listed, but the icon has a red 'X', the device has been disabled.          To activate the device, right-click the icon, and then click Activate.

  4. If your audio device is not listed in the right pane, expand other devices. If the Multimedia Audio Controller appears in the list, right-click on the icon and then click Update driver software. Follow the on-screen instructions to find and install the driver software.

  5. If you are not able to find and install the correct driver software, go to the Web site of your computer or the manufacturer of your sound device manufacturer for assistance.

  6. If you do not have a sound device installed on your computer, install an audio device and then try to play the file again. For more information, go to the Web site your manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of your audio device.

  7. If you try to play a file on the Internet, try again later. The server may be temporarily unavailable or there could be a network problem.

  8. If you try to play an MP3 file that contains compressed ID3 headers, make a copy of the file and then use an ID3 tag non - editing program Microsoft to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers.

  The ID3 header is a part of the file that stores the album information of the song (for example, the song name, artist name, album name and kind). This information is sometimes called tag. After you remove the headers ID3, Windows Media Player should be able to play MP3 files.

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

  Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. (MPEG)

  Don't know why Windows Media Player does not accept your mpeg.

  Just a suggestion:

  Use a video converter and change your mpeg to wmv format and read it.

  If you don't have a video converter, google for a free Converter. No need to buy a.

  You can also install VLC media player.
  It's free.
  He plays almost all kinds of formats.

  Hello

  2 have you installed third-party readers part?
