windows media player ...

    strange and silly problem here

    had downloaded a copy of holy valance video kiss kiss *i know i know* anyway, it used to play fine on xp with the media player but in the last couple of months it has refused to play this particular video... and only this one, all my other music vids play fine.

    the file in question is an .mpeg and it bascially keeps looking for a codec from the server but fails. i have tried updating the codecs and followed through any available help on ms site about this sort of thing but still no joy. (before you ask i do have divx codecs installed)

    oddly enough i also dl'd a slightly smaller .avi version of it and it has the same problem... anyone got any ideas or suggestions?

    cheers

    Un-install your divx codecs first then re-install em all from scratch, could just be corrupt files. Make sure to install all of the divX codecs (3.11, 4 and 5) and maybe the nimo pack for audio codecs.
    U can get em all from here

    U sure its in DivX format? Might do no harm to install Xvid codec if the divX ones dont sort it.

    yeah i have already tried the codec pack which i thought would do it myself but no joy.

    will give it another shot reinstalling Divx codecs though all my other divx vids play fine.

    thanks for the info, has given me a couple of ideas that i can try.
