| I'm going freakin' insane. Did a fresh reformat two weeks ago but now everytime I download a .mpg from the internet, it'll play for the first few seconds, then I get a "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because it is damaged or corrupt." So, I roll it back from WPM11 to WPM10. Same problem. Roll it back to WPM9. Same problem. So, I uninstall it all together, reinstall it. Same problem. Also, it'll only play so much of a YouTube video, then just stop. Even if I reload the page, it'll only play so far and just stop. I know that I'm missing something simple here. HERE is the error code I'm receiving. Any help? | ||

| What I have running: WMP 11 in MS Vista Ultimate Ogg Vorbis codecs DiVX Pro codecs Zune Every now and again I get the same error, but for the most part, just about anything I click on, plays all the way through. Anything in .wmv/.wma format plays fine every time... Maybe toss in a codec package? A buddy swears by Cole2K, and hasn't had much trouble in this area. Hope that helps ya out... | ||

| you could try , like GPN said , a codec pack ......... I've used Klite Free-Codecs.com : Download K-Lite Codec Pack 3.6.5 FULL, K-Lite Codec Pack 3.6.5 STANDARD, K-Lite Codec Pack 3.6.5 BASIC : K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and related tools Or you could just D/L VLCPlayer , it'll play 99% of anything on the www VLC media player - Overview | ||

GOM is spectacular, I use it all the time. But even GOM needs codecs once in a while (rarely, to be sure). So .. yep, I'll just chime in with the rest of the group and recommend a good codec pack, and a better media player. -godling | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
