    Well, I've got this weird problem.. I'm trying to open an WMV file, but it's playing only audio. I know it's a video file, because I've seen it at a friend's house. So what do I do wrong? I've used winamp, PowerDVD and Zoom. Oh yea and WMP, used that too..

    I'm guessing I don't have the right codecs, because I just formatted my computer yesterday, if so, does anyone know where I can get this specific WMV codec? (don't say "google" .. i tried ^_^)

    I appreciate your help..

    WMVs never work for me, try d/ling in mpg or mpeg. ^_^
