problem playing files
 

Ok, so Im trying to download my favorite show. After waiting an hour for it to download, Windows media player nor Real player will play the file. First it was the codex, so i downloaded something that was supposed to fix it, but it didnt. The error message does not tell me what the problem is. if you think you can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Try playing the file with VLC player. It's free & has codecs installed;)
There's a link for download in this thread.
