hello have you tried unistalling windows media player then installing it again as it might be something to do with the medai player and might not be anything else.
try unistalling it or reinstalling it then see how it goes. or it could be something else. any more problems with the media player let me know and ill try to help as much as i can.
hope this helps

you need to update the codex

peakey · 14-01-08, 08:45 PM

how do i do that

It *should* go and get the one it needs automatically. If it doesnt then chances are you cant use MP to watch it!

What format is the movie? If its a film dvd then see if you can find a free copy of Power DVD on the net - its pretty good - we use it at work. (Ive got boxes and boxes of Power DVD 6 lying around - we have had a bundled copy with every single new computer we had delivered in the last 18 months - over 300!)
