Hi everyone,
just recently got a new laptop and downloaded some avi files, however when i tried to watch them, i apparently didnt have the right codecs, so i downloaded a divx codec pack. the video would then play, but i was getting no sound and the program advised me to download an ac3 audio codec or something, which i did. however this also did not give me any sound while watching this movie file, so i downloaded another couple of ac3 codecs and still no luck, i also downloaded some ogg vorbis audio codec thing too and still no luck, so i just gave up. however just now i tried to play one of mp3's that i was listening to earlier, and the volume was extremely low and distorted, so i naturally thought that the problem would've been the codecs i installed...i removed them all. But now I am not getting no sound whatsoever. When i try to play an mp3 in windows media player i get this: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file. and an error code, which is this: C00D1199: Cannot play the file Now i'm naturally assuming once again that i kind of need a basic codec audio pack or a windows one or something, but i can't seem to find anything to help me...i've tried system restore and no luck. i've also been into the control panel to make sure my soundcard is selected etc. i've also tried about 20 different mp3's in 2 different programs and neither will play them even though they all worked fine a few hours ago, please help.
thanx
