Windows Media Player Error Message

[FoolishMcNasty]

Does any one know what this error means?
"Unable to download an appropriate decompressor. (Error=80040200)"

It means that you dont have the proper CODEC installed to view the file you are trying to view and it is unable to download it. What kind of file are you trying to view?

 

[FoolishMcNasty]

Just an .avi.

<< Just an .avi. >>


That is odd. Have you tried upgrading Media Player?

Lots of AVI files use DIVX codec or other....maybe you don't have it....try this place http://www.divxmovies.com/codec/
or this http://home.earthlink.net/~codeczone/

The newest DivX codec (DivX412Codec) fixed the issue. Thanks alot.
