@ Choto, That is a great post in your blog. BTW I want to ask that if Hiwalker can see the videos in other player in same PC, then the codecs might be installed naa ? If not then how can he see the videos in other players ?

I think there are some problems with his settings in WMP 9.

Yes Chota Cheeta I refered to that link I have both K lite & VLC installed , I can see video in both player. But not in WMP 9,

Net007 I have upgraded my WMP 9 to both WMP 10 & then 11 but no solution.

Debsurva I think u r right ,there are some problems with settings in WMP 9, but what is that I don't know. Now I have decided to format my system.

Just to make it clear...

You have a Clean installation of Windows XP SP2 with default WMP 9 and just video / audio drivers...

Can you play DVD video ?? No... WMP 9 Cant play without a codec pack or 3rd party plug in... now suppose you installed Power DVD or WinDVD... Now Can you play DVD ?? yes, Power DVD can but not WMP unless u add the power dvd, DVD decoder to it (usually with latest version they get added automatically)... So unless you have a proper codec, even though a 3rd pary player can play a certain video, but default WMP may not

Now I have decided to format my system.

Before a format, there is still SFC /Scannow and system restore option available

I think that was the case with me in my installation. So Hiwalker needs to update his software to latest versions.
