Problems with Windows Media Player

[Swifto]

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

Excellent. Works fine now.

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