I have been using Windows Media Player, not sure which version, to play video's and music etc...An example being Ronnie Colemans Cost of Redemption. Plays fine, no problems. However, I recently downloaded Windows Media Player version 10.0 from Download.com and I now have a major problem. When I play it, it starts downloading a 'codec' then cant find it, thus, the video doesnt play.

I'm having this problem with many video's, how do I fix it?

Try downloading the Nimo codec pack. Or use Winamp mate -so much better!

i was going to suggest winamp - by far the best i think - and yes - it will play your vids and music

the best program for this is "VLC media player" trust me, it doesnt need any codecs or anything, has it all ;)

your media player just needed the codec to play avi files but glad you got something to work now.
