I have an NT machine at work, and when it tries to download the codec for any wmv files on PH it fails . Microsh1te Help isn't, and I have been unable to find anything on google.

Help! please

TIA

Could try installing the codecs directly (ie not through media player):

www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=73C47878-20D0-4C1A-96F4-177D7E0074B7

If that doesn't work you probably need a codec that MS doesn't supply e.g. DivX

Thanks Mark,

tried that, but I think I may need admin (which I don't have) as that doesn't work either.

I might just highjack someones PC to watch shpub and one mean wedge .

You, Sir, are a star. I've never been able to see the video from anything on PH either, but having downloaded the codecs as recommended, I can now see Mr.Heath giving his 520 a pasting, no problem. Thank you!
