WMP10 won't play .wmv files. They work fine in every other player I use them in, but as soon as I play a wmv file in WMP10 the player crashes. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but it's getting on my nerves that whenever i go on a webpage that has a .wmv file embedded in it firefox crashes. Does anybody know how to fix it?

have you tried downloading and reinstallin wmp10 again.

Yes, but it's still crashing.

download some drivers for wmp10 for .wmv, u probablt have a deleted/corrupted driver

I had the same problem. First clean your system of any virus/adware/malware. Then repair using the XP tool in properties of your C drive under tools, click auto fix file system and scan & attempt recovery of bad sectors. Once your happy with this try it again. If problem exists you'll need the appropriate codec. Try this one from Major Geeks:http://majorgeeks.com/download4361.html. You can uninsatll this if it doen't fix the prob!

One problem I have found trying to view MS Media (10) files on Firefox is that some of my sites the movie files are themselves not functioning. If it is a yahoo site then remember they have a time limit on how long you can view the sites. I think they run in cycles of 4 hours. Try these sites on IE and see if you hv the same problem.

MS will tell you to search for a codec anyhow but are quite elusive when it comes to solutions to MS mp10. Try running Real Player as your default and skip 10 if u still hv the prob.

Hi again,

Just been on the MS Media Forum site and another guy had a similar problem and suggested to go to: www.divx.com (http://www.divx.com/software/browse.php?cid=17)

and download VF Api Reader Codec 1.05 which works with Media 10.

Hope this fixes it for you
