Having been nagged by MS for some time, I downloaded WMP 11 which replaced the WMP 9 I had included in XP.
Tonight I thought I’d relax and watch a film. It doesn’t work! There’s not even a “file” to click to open a DVD – I had to “open with” in explorer. All it plays is the sound track and as far as I can see it is designed solely to play recorded music. I gathered I had to have a codec. So I downloaded one, a 39kb zip file. Unzipping with Izarc yielded nothing at all…
I “rolled back” to WMP 9 which works fine. About to watch that film now.
Is anyone familiar with this problem?
Incidentally I chose WMP for the film because although Real Player plays a DVD, the picture is pathetically small (no full screen option).
[Edit] I tried downloading WMP 10, apparently supposed to work with XP (like 11!) but after downloading 12MB, was told that it is incompatible with my XP – no reasons given despite the various links. Too late to watch the film now…]
Thanks in advance.
Paul
