Playing film downloads on wmp10
 

I need more help!
I hav just downloaded my first film. Its 725mb and is file type avi.
I want to watch it on WMPLAYER10 but it wont work. The WMP status bar says "Connecting" and then evenually changes to "Error downloading codec".
So what does this mean?
How do I get to see what I waited 4hours to download!?:mad:

Your probably missing the right codecs to play the file. XP Codec Pack 1.3.0 is a good codec pack for windows media player. Be sure to install it after you d/l it.

Or you could try playing it in a different media player. VLC media player is a good one with the codecs built in and will play most any file.
