Windows Media player has sound - no pictures
« on: February 24, 2006, 01:04:26 PM »
[size=14]I just formatted my computer and reloaded Windows XP Pro.  When I play a downloaded movie it plays the movie sound but I only get the windows media player graphic design, no movie picture.   How do I get it back?

      You'll need more than one extra codec!
      Theoricas The-Codecs contains just about every codec you'll ever need. The package is free and virus/malware free.
