Hello Dinesh and welcome to the forums

Remove any 3rd party codecs you have installed, then install Shark007's codec pack:

Shark007.net - Windows Vista Codec Package

This should clear up any issues you're having

Respected,
Thank you so much for your response.. but the codec which you specified did not solve my problem.. any ways your idea sparked my bulb.. so i just tried installing k-lite mega codec in my system.. that solved my problem now.. thanks anyways..
