I've got some video files that will not play the picture, only the sound, because when I open they they say "sending request for codec" and then "error downloading codec" - this, my friends, is annoying.

I have media player 9 and the "search for codec" box checked. Why it cannot find or download the codecs is over my head, my privacy settings aren't greatly high and stuff usually downloads without a hiccup.

Is there another player I can use (Tried quicktime, doesn't work) to play the files? They're .wmv files, and so designed to open with media player.

Help would be appreciated.

Here is what you must do.

1. Find what codec was used on the file.
2. Download said codec.

The quest stands upon the edge of a knife, stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of us all.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
