Anybody know what all this is about? Got sent a wmv clip I need to watch and Window Media Player does not like it. Something about "couldn't find a file path" or some such thing.

TIA

Noel, who is a bit thick on these matters....

How big is the file?

Hi Noel, a media player I always use when windows media player cant find or has not got a codec to play a file is divx player

No joy. I've re-installed WMP 10 a few times. Ticked all the boxes in the tools option. Tried Divx, but still nothing. Think I have all codecs that I need, but perhaps not. I can play every other sort but not wmv.
No idea what size the file is, but here's the source of it:

I have a couple of friends that are in the clip.

When I try to open the above link the screen freezes. Dang computers...

Hi Noel - I have Windows XP Home and MP10 - the link works fine.
Sat and watched the nearly 5 minutes of the clip - great to see so many MkII Escorts showing what a great rally car they were (and still are!)

Hope you get yours sorted so you get to watch it

Thanks Andrew, I've XP Pro and WMP 10 and getting nothing. I guess it's something wrong on my system. But what? Very frustrating.
Agree with you, can't beat a Mk 11 totally flat to the mat.

liked the bit where he didn't turn left and went through the wooden fence :lol:

I have XP Pro WMP 10 & the link play o.k.

Do you have nero? have you tried playing it in that?

Thanks for all your help. Re-installed WMP 10 again and bingo, all is well. Happy days.
