text: I agree with the first answer. Go to www.winamp.com and download their free player, and try listening/watching things with that.\n\nFurthermore, I imagine that since video won't play, you don't have a Codec that is required to play the media in question. Does your media player give you any kind of specific error message? (usually in Windows Media Player, you can right-click on the item in the playlist that won't play and click "Error Details...") if so, post the error details here.
