My windows media player is not working on video files?

NO PC told model
many old PCs (most) older than 2010
fail to load w10
or do and many chips are dead (for sure sound)
and GPU.
you the look in to device manager and see the red ink of BAD DRIVER
then you go to hp.com see your unstated PC
and it tells you , sorry no w10 support
if it says YES , all drivers are there.
it is that simple.

last

load free VLC
end.


no media told? at all.
DVD? what.
media player is not media it is only a 99% dead player.
VLC does most.

Your computer is to slow. I have the same problem and on faster compuer was good.
I have another problem: I want display films via DLNA form computer to plasma PS50C6500 Samsung and TV say: I haven't code to MP4.

Since your question is not so clear, I have to assume myself that pictures and videos saved on your phone can't play on your computer after they are transferred to your computer. The message simply means that the codec installed on your system does not support the media type that you are playing. If you don't have any other player installed on your system you have to try with this one Vlc media Player (click here to download). Download it, and install, now open the downloaded files (video or pic or audio) using this player. Hopefully that should work. Alternatively you can use this player instead of Windows Media Player, but on the other hand, you can still play those files using Windows Media Player. The only thing you need is to install a codec, like Klite megacodec packs, Acemega codec packs, etc.. Click here to download Klite mega codec packs Download, Install and restart your computer, now you'll be able to play any type of media file using your windows media player and other players.

If you have problem, let me know.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

i would suggest either getting windows xp or 7, vista has alot of bugs

Each of the AVCHD camcorders ships with software designed to playback the files on your computer. Sony's HDR-SR1 and the newer HDR-SR5 both record video in the AVCHD format and ship with the Picture Motion Browser, which plays back AVCHD files on most computers. If you purchased one of the Panasonic AVCHD camcorders, the included HD Writer should allow you to playback video recorded with your camcorder.
  

While the bundled applications work, my personal preference, is Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra, which supports playback of the AVCHD files and a whole host of other high definition formats. In addition to playing back your HD camcorder files, PowerDVD Ultra plays back Blu-ray and HD-DVD disks (with the accompanying drives connected, of course). PowerDVD Ultra also makes it possible to expand your HD video editing options, by using the included codecs to render the AVCHD video in apps like VirtualDub.

Cyberlink PowerDVD ultra can be downloaded from here :

For getting videos from youtube you need to download youtube robot. Using Windows Media Player works well for syncing videos on mp3 players.

Have had same happen. Try clicking right and choosing open with....and choose windows Media player for list. Don't know why this is the part that works for me. double clicking the file has never worked for me. I get the wmp with the same error but when I select the wmp and let IT open the file....it works....I think it is magic and a stubborn way to do this but it works

Download real player... It will fix the issue
