| 32bit | How to play .wmv files on vista I have visited countless other threads pertaining to this problem, have followed the advice to download the latest codec from microsoft but nothing, i repeat, nothing will get any wmv file to work. I just get this pop-up that declares i need to download a 'free license' to watch anything but from a highly suspect website (the security system screams at me not to!) Any help would be greatly appreciated |

| Vista home premium 64 bit | Re: How to play .wmv files on vista Where did you get the windows media files from? What website is it asking you to download the licence from? Sound like drm may be causing the problem not the codec. |

| 32bit | Re: How to play .wmv files on vista Im getting the files from bittorrent sources, have no problems with any other files i.e. .avi ones. The pop-up is a download from "acemix.net" and i just dont trust it, or certainly my computer doesnt. I also must admit i dont know what drm is! |

| Vista Ultimate x64 MAK, OpenSolaris 5, Gentoo 2008.1.... | Re: How to play .wmv files on vista OK, what part of "Don't do it" did you miss? it doesn't matter *what* it is - Don't do it. There is more than enough free content on the web to keep anyone occupied for their entire lifetime *right now*. |
