huh huh huh....

wmv's won't play on windows xp?

i found a PIII 500 on the side of the road, working of course.
my maxtor HDD died a couple of days ago. i slapped win2k on it in 30 mins so i could get back on teh intar-web. it has windows media player 6 ( 1999 windows 2000 media player) so technically it shouldn't play jack of new formats. i put k-lite codec pack on it, and now it'll play everything (on the ver 6, i was suprised what such an old program could play if supplied with codecs. if you google free k-lite codec pack and download it it might help you in future jeff.

I just tested the video... about 3 times in a row on my XP laptop (Just to make sure :-) )... works fine in Windows Media Player... do you get a codec error message or something?

No error - just a blank client window in the media player. Sound is still there though. Porn doesn't play either... You know, just checking different file types...

Finally got it to work.

playing sound without pic is also a symptom of a missing codec. here's a known virus free copy of the program i mentioned.

Microsoft Media Player isn't so bad... and this is coming from a Microsoft Engineer

Download the K-Lite Standard Codec pack. Install. Use Media Player Classic. All done!

No offense intended - I know there are plenty of wicked-smart engineers at MS. Perhaps I should have said, "the project manager who decided it was acceptable to have an out-of-the-box Media player that had *LESS* functionality than the previous version is a dork."

It's kind of a bummer when you upgrade and things that used to work are now broken.

I'll try the codec pack on the new computer...

Thanks,

for anyone that hasn't seen this

has some useful stuff, downloads are slow however. has a number of nero editions, as well as windows media player.

It was an upgrade and the disk was already NTFS... so yes.

I'll be getting a new computer in a week so I'm not too eager to mess around with this old boat anchor, but I'll bet the new machine (dell dual proc) will have the same problem. Spent a week, eh? maybe I can just download the old version of media player. Any advice?
