The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file." If I follow the "WEB Help" I get to this site that is not a lot of help to me www.microsoft.com Can anyone give me a resolve or point me in the right direction? Cheers HH	Happy Harry (321)

My WMP11 plays everything I've thrown at it and if it doesn't or I dont want to use Real Player/QT, I just use VLC Player.	beeswax34 (63)
