Play WMV files on Vista N version?

I believe you will need to install mediaplayer, or another player that is capable of playing wmv files. The easiest solution is mediaplayer, and that at least will get you back to where you would have been with the normal non "N" version.

I just like to know the best way to play wmv files on vista N version.Is this posible or not?Can we play wmv movies in this version without install WMP and how we can do it?

I believe you can download and install WMP on your own to get that function. That version just didn't bundle it in because of another country's law. It was a matter of giving other people a choice of media player (so other media player makers have a chance in the industry).

My favorite non-Microsoft player that can play WMV and WMA files (unprotected) is Media Player Classic (freeware). It is modeled to look like the old Media Player 6.4 of yore but with much more features.

WinAMP and RealPlayer also plays these files.

However, I think you will still need WMP11 to play protected WMV/WMA files.
