It's probably a codec problem. WMP is a Pain. See link below. Has a lot of great info.

CODECs list for Movies/Audio/ Alternate players / Video help forums/ video-mp3 fixers

Also might take a look at VLC Media Player, has codec built in, and will play most anything.

VLC media player - Overview.


And lastly, ALWAYS use Bitzi when searching for Video Files.

How to find music (tips for video also)

Hope this helps.

TA, AVI Files are one of the safest files to dn/ld. As far as the ones you just posted, all should be filtered out with the exceptions of mp3. The other extensions are loaded with Spam, Adware, Worms, and Viruii.

Click the link above on how to find music and video. This will explane what Bitzi is all about. You can check the quality of a video file here and read how other members rated the file. It's great to keep from downloading a fake or corrupt file.

As far as WMP Still not working?? Well I gave you my opinion on that. VLC is the quick fix instead of using that other piece of CRAP.
