Trouble watching video clips

02-24-2005, 09:07 PM

Hi,

For the past month or so everytime I try to watch the video clips with Windows Media Player I get an error that says: " Media player cannot play the selected file because it is either damaged or corrupt. Does anyone know why this is happening? Should I be using a different player like Real Player or Quicktime? Please help. Thanks

Maybe if you reistalled it? I use to get that with musicmatch and reinstalling it fixed it

Try doing a clean install of Windows Media Players. [Un-install, download, re-install clean version]

Also, you might not have the correct DivX's to play them.

Go to DivX.com for more information.

i know its a stupid remark, but a lot of people found out they werent using the rite version. also try saving them to ur hard drive in a place such as ur desktop then play them. when ur finished, just delete it or whatever u wanna do
