You could try this codec pac it's for Vista...

Vista Codec Package v4.6.4 (freeware)

can i use this with windows xp home

You could try a different Media Player. VLC Media Player has Codecs Built in and is Highly recommended here on the Forums. If you want to keep the Media Player that you are using then download only ONE Codec Pac as more than ONE may cause Problems. See the Link Below that LOTR put together for several solutions that may help. :D

CODECs list for Movies/Alternate players / Video help forums/ video-mp3 fixers

Here are several choices. There is a XP Codec Pac but there are others that are better. K-lite and CCCP. Just Remember to Only use ONE. Hope this Helps

i will give it a go, so thanks mucho

Ummm, I was under the impression that you where using Vista, seeing that's the part of the forum you posted in...;)
