i am running windows 2000 so is that the problem I have used it before so what is the problem now please help if you can anybody!!!!

You might take a look at VLC Media player. It's free and has codec built in. Will play most anything. WMP Sucks. Click here.VLC media player - Overview

similer problem
 

My problem is very similer but not quite the same, WMP will play the sound but the videos I download won't show pictures.

Try these codecs...
For XP this codec pac is very good
Download XP Codec Pack 2.0.8 - XP Codec Pack is one of the most complete codec pack
Or for Vista this pac
Vista Codec Package v4.4.7 Beta 4a (freeware)

I downloaded the VLC media player and i get only text no videos I am getting source code for each download... how do I get to see the pictures and videos that have downloaded???

i downloaded the player you suggested!!
 

thanks for the tip...
now we have a new problem it may be minor though...
