Default Codecs................................

Guys

Where can I get all the codecs required for Windows Media Player 10 from? Tried Microsoft page but doesn't really help.

Having problems playing some files, keeps saying "One or more codecs required to play the file could not be found".

It's a video clip if that helps.

Thanks

Gordon Shek
