| 475145 | 2006-08-01 11:23:00 | One of my XP Pro (fully updated) machines won't play mpeg-2 movie files via WMP10 or 11 . No video or sound . MP3's are OK . I have re-installed WMP but to no effect . WMP used to say it didn't have a codec but wouldn't find one when allowed to go to the Internet . But I tried registering a couple of codec suspects and now it doesn't show any error (except for no vid or sound!) . I have googled for an answer but it is my experience, where codecs are concerned, that everyone seems to waffle and you end up with no concrete help! Anyone know where I should look? TIA . |
