I highly suspect that you got a virus/spyware infectiong your system. This is far from normal behaviour. A good cleanup of the temp folders (including the hidden ones) and a good anti-spyware softare would be recommended. The problem about wmv files could be a codec problem but it's hard to tell.

Cannot play WMV file

This is a type of video that can be played on your computer and portable media players. The most important feature of a WMV file is that its format allows large video files to be compressed, retaining the rich quality of the video. It is a file format developed to store video content in a compressed format, so that movies and other video programs can be viewed on a personal computer. These videos can be watched from the hard drive of your computer, or other media players. To play a WMV file, a set of codecs are required. A codec is a program that can easily read a file, creating video and audio formats from the provided data. WMV files may be played on Microsoft Windows Media Player and other media players as well. The latest version of WMV is WMV10.

Ok. i have these wmv files in my samsung Q1, but everytime i play it, it doesn't play and displays: "not supported format". but aren't samsung Q1 players supposed to play wmv files?

Hi i have researched your product and it should support wmv files so i dont understand why they wont play. I would either take the product back to where you got it, tell them its faulty, get a replacement and try again. Or just convert the wmv files you have to SVI (Mpeg 4) and they should work.
Hope this helps

Waching uploading movies online on wmv format

WMV files are actually Windows Media format, specifically for streaming on the web. Have you tried installing the latest version of Windows Media Player (version 10)? You can download it from Microsoft's website.

You can also try reinstalling the Windows Media Player 9 CODECS:

Windows media player can't play .wmv files

  • Firstly a UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterrupted Power Supply - meaning emergency backup power in the event of a mains power failure. This is not a type of PC.
  • Secondly - Windows media player does not support every type of movie format, as Microsoft Update it from time to time, some formats will still not be supported, these are known as codecs.
  • Thirdly, codecs to support your particular format can usually be downloaded and added to Windows Media Player, however i can not think of any reason .wmv files are not supported by Windows Media Player.

You could try re-downloading the latest version of Windows Media Player from one of the links provided below.
WMP 11 will support the latest codecs, but if for some reason you find yourself needing the older version, use WMP 10.

You will most likely have to remove your current version of WMP, and you can do this by using Windows Add/Remove programs.
  1. Click on the Start menu button ( bottom left corner of your screen. )
  2. Click on Control Panel.
  3. Click on Add or Remove Programs.
  4. Click on Windows Media Player in the list.
  5. Click Remove ( right hand side of the listing )

Microsoft WMP 11 is available by clicking on this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx

Microsoft WMP 10 is available by clicking on this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/10/default.aspx

WMV 11 is available by clicking on this link:
