Windows Media Player not always playing movies

[Kos]

I have just rebuilt my Windows ME system on my PC and since doing so I get occasions when some .wmv files, although the Play bar is scrolling along, show no picture. Other times its fine.

Any ideas?

Have you downloaded the latest Windows Media Player 9 for Windows ME ?

For some reason part of my link above was replaced by asterisks. It should be ********

If thats does not work go to www microsoft com then select downloads then look for media player.

The latest version for ME is media player 9.

Try again. It should be

F A M I L * * *

Family and ID

Not sure why it puts asterisks in place of that

Oh it does not like Y followed by I followed by D which is a rude slang expression.

You may also be missing some codecs :

XVid : http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

I'd recommend giving videoLAN a go:
