I'm having a problem with the Windows Media Player. Any avi/wmv/others that I try to download I receive the following error: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file. Someone told me to go to this URL:?? http://www.vp3.com/cgi-bin/getvp3.pl And download this video codec and install divx. Problems: This URL doesn't exist plus I'm?a CCIE and I'm not a software person. I need this fixed so that I can look at infrastructure diag's........ I would appreciate any?URL you can point me to or any assistance for my very intermediate software knowledge. Thanks so much for your help Stephen Kaplun? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It seems like your issues are unrelated to the Theora codec - so we won't be able to help you here. Good luck resolving your issue. Mike

It is said it will also play VP3 video files, but I didn't test that. If you want to play DivX files, you have to download the DivX codec. Use Google for that. Windows Media Player should play WMV files out of the box. You may need to update your system using the Windows Update. -- Remco
