A lot of videos that worked fine in windows media player 7.1 in windows 98/SE/ME/2k don't work in windows XP professional under windows media player 8. I see that it trys to find codecs and fails and only plays the audio portion of the video. Most are avi files. Some of them only play the video and not the audio. I have downloaded and installed almost all of the codecs that I was able to find and haven't had any luck. I have downloaded the codecs from ligos, divx, crystal codecs, and some others that I don't recall. Is there any way to tell what codec it is looking for? Are there any good programs or sites that will tell me what it is? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have tried many other viewers with the same problems. ie. vcdplayer, global divx player, etc.
