Whenever I open my wmp, a small window pops up and it says something like
“Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.”

Can someone please tell me where I can download the supported codec?
Thank you!

you should be able to right click the file and it will ask to search the web for the appropriate program that will help play the file
also if you are downloading files then i would scan it for viruses because it is supposed to be music but it’s malware instead
be careful out ther friend
Hi, you should get the k-lite MEGA codec pack (it’s free). You can find it here.
It is much better than downloading seperate codecs because so many codecs are included in that pack that it allows you to play most videos.
If you prefer to only download codecs that you need then you can download codecs manually whenever you come across a video file that you can’t play.
For example if you can’t play a .avi file then you will need the DIVX & XVID Codecs. I found this out just by typing in Google How do i play .avi files?
They both are included in the K-lite Mega Codec Pack though so that would be the better choice for you.
Also if you can’t see file extensions (.avi) then here’s how you set your computer to show file extensions. This is for Windows only, I don’t think it can be done on Macs.
In XP when inside a folder click Tools>>>Folder Options>>>View tab>>>Untick hide known extensions for file types.
In Vista go to your control panel, make sure you’re viewing it in the classic view. Double click folder options, Click the view tab>>>Untich hide known extensions for file types.
Hope this helps.
