Thread: Window Media Player CODEC error trying to play

Hi all, everytime I try to play any video from the Windows media player it shows me that it wants the video codec to be upgraded on the computer. Ihave no clue what the problem with it is. I have presently installed Windows 7 on my computer. Can you tell me that what is the issue and how can I solve this trouble? Thanks in advance.

Be very careful if this message arrives from the ".wmv" file then I you don't need any extra codec to play the video. If lsi asking for .any such thing then there are major chances that it is the installed virus in your system and hence it is make the problem for you. You be able to look at the extension for file from the Windows Explorer. also in the file name but only if you configured it using the Tools|Folder options|View menu to work so or in the minutiae view Type column should show somewhat like WMV file or in that situtation Windows Media Audio/Video file.
