My brother tells me he is having problems watching downloaded shows. He simply cannot view anything he downloads.
He uses WMP 10
Any suggestions?

Make sure he dowloads and updates the codecs, alternatively, download VLC player, its free, and plays just about everything:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A
"Marleyboy you are a legend!"
MarleyBoy "You are the Greatest"
Marleyboy You Are A Legend!

If VLC wont work, its gotta be your codecs, install the updated codecs:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

I am a vlc user and have been for years. If I get a file that doesn't play I update my copy of VLC and I am struggling to to think of the last time that this didn't work for me.0

Try downloading the k-lite codec pack. That should fix 99% of problems

GSpot is a utility to see what codecs are required by a video file and tell you if you have them installed.
You can get it here, but the k-lite pack or VLC should fix it anyway
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/gspot.cfmIt's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends
And feel I want to die0
