| 236931 | 2004-05-16 08:37:00 | I've been having problems with my computer. (Windows XP Professional) It will not play WMV's. It goes "Downloading codec" twice, then says "Error downloading codec" and pops up a message saying that the codec could not be found. It works fine on my crappy 98SE PC that I got ages ago. However, that computer lags too much to play videos. Please help before I throw my computer against a wall, I MUST see the E3 videos of games! |

| 236934 | 2004-05-16 09:19:00 | I used Nimo50Build8 codec pack. Worked like a charm for me just as long as you read the accompanying info. | aNtzy (4070) | ||
| 236935 | 2004-05-16 09:19:00 | Using whatever WMP came with my computer, and the only codec I have downloaded is DivX. Doesn't play in winamp either. I'll go download the WMP9 codecs now... why they aren't included I do not know. | Wilky (776) | ||
| 236936 | 2004-05-16 09:46:00 | thanks, downloaded the codecs and it's fixed. | Wilky (776) | ||
