sometime the video dosnt show up.

and other times it does.

for instance.

i'll down load a southpark episode.

and the sound works.

but theres nothing on the screen but

a few moving grey lines.

and i only download MPEG. MPG. or AVI

Your not supposed to name the files, it's part of the Forum Rules;)

You probably need to download the right codecs to play that file. XP Codec Pack 1.3.0 is supposed to be a good one for WMP.

You could also d/l another media player. VLC media player is a good one that has the codecs built in and will play most file types.

Go to this thread for more on info: CODECs list for Movies /Alternate players / Video help forums

ok
 

i installed
XP Codec Pack 1.3.0
do i unzip the files or leave them??

Once you download it then you have to install it. I don't remember if it is a zip file or not.:confused:

Or do you mean the video file? If you installed the codecs you should be able to play it in WMP. You shouldn't have to unzip a video file. If you do you better not open it.

yeah it is.

Yes, then you'll have to unzip it then install it.

YES IT WORKED

thanks alot! :D :D :D :D :D
