704Mainman Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hello all. Of course my user name is 704Mainman. I live in Greenville,SC and could be considered a "novice" when it comes to many areas involving Windows XP. Ah heck, Windows 7 and Windows 10 for that matter. Anyway, I know Microsoft has ceased support for Windows XP way back in 2014. Yet, I still like Windows XP and continue to use it although the issues I am presently experiencing have become a real hassle. As of the present, many of the video clips I attempt to play come with the caveat, "No compatible source was found for this media." And believe me, this is a bummer. I am 73 years old thus my computer skills has waned somewhat. Therefore, it my hope that with the knowledge the individuals on this forum possess I will be able to take away the knowledge each of you possess and discover adequate solutions to my issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
