    Media Player won't play WMV files

    Files that worked OK before RC2 just won't play in MP11. I get the following
    error:
    "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the Sipro Lab Telecom
    ACELP.net (130) codec is not installed on your computer."
    Any ideas?

    I 've got the same error - searched on a few forums, and got advise to
    download the missing codec. I saved it and ran it as "administrator".
    Installs OK but does not solve the problem. It does not help. WM11 still
    gives me the same error message.

    Which codec are you referring to?

    Anything over three months old gets purged by my newsreader, sorry. (I had
    to go back-up methods to figure out what this was about...)

    So this is about the VoiceAge ACELP Sipro codec? As far as I'm aware,
    VoiceAge does not currently have a Media Foundation-compatible ACELP Sipro
    implementation. Without that, the content would be generally unplayable
    with Windows Media Player on Vista at this time without either converting or
    minor editing of the content.

    (The old ACM/VfW implementation does not work within the Vista playback
    scheme at this time.) I know VoiceAge was aware of this - I don't know
    what where they are with their Vista support, if they're going down that
    road. That'd be a good question for them.

    Hi Zachd
    Yes I was referring to the ACELP Sipro codec.
    It's the one the WMP11 points to when it displays the error message.
    I read your input on other threads. I will inquire with ACELP - see what
    they say.
    The videos I was trying to play are genuine training videos for a trading
    platform: GenesisFT. I put the link below if you want to have a look (I know
    you offered some help to another person faced wiht a similar issue)
    http://www.genesisft.com/Support/Web...ingStarted.asp
    The "How to get started ..." works, but most of the one in the software
    Overview section don't, including "creating a system", "creating a rule", ...

    I read elsewhere that it may work with irfan - I'll try this and let
    everyone know.
    It's annoying to pay for Vista and have all these issues.
    Cheers, P-F from downunder

    tools-- options-- player-- last tab says "connect to internet".

    If you'll uninstall Windows Media Player completely and then install the latest version it should install ALL required codecs . Otherwise use CCCP if you really do need to use a codec pack. And there are many more solutions Windows Media Player won't play WMV files . but it will be best if u'll use CCCP http://www.cccp-project.net/download.php?type=cccp.
