Hello,
I've got a strange problem with WMP 9. The other day, I downloaded some AVI files (USFL clips from thisistheusfl.com). They wouldn't play, so I downloaded some codec pack. After restarting my computer, the AVI files would play, but now some of my MPEG files play without sound. I uninstalled the codec pack, but the files still play with no audio. Microsoft says to download WMP 11, but I'm reluctant to download a new version when the old one has worked fine until now. I'm running XP. Any ideas? Thanks.

Download Microsoft codecs from here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/format/codecdownload.aspx
I hope they restore the damaged group in your system.

I downloaded the codec package from the Microsoft website, but the same movie files still play with no audio. Any other ideas what could be up? Thanks.

Where did you download the codec pack mentioned in your original post? What protection do you have?

This was really stupid. I don't remember where I downloaded it (maybe free-codecs.com) or what it was called. I have AVG 7.5. Thanks.

Free-codecs.com seems to check out with SiteAdvisor, so if that's where you got it from, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Did you download the K-Lite Codec Pack (http://www.techspot.com/downloads/775-klite-codec-pack.html)? If not, give it a try and see if it helps. If you're still having trouble, you just might have to update your player.
