Symptom Possible solution
Some video files do
not play.
Your file may be corrupt or in an unsupported format. Open the
video file in a video editor, and then resave the file in a supported
format.
Codec error messages
appear when I play
certain video files.
Open the file in Windows Media Player. Ensure that Windows
Media Player is configured to automatically download codecs.
If the correct codec is available, the file will play. Note that
you must be connected to the Internet to download codec files.
If the correct codec is not available, check whether an update
is available for Windows Media Player.
For more information, open Windows Media Player Help and
search for codec.
