Do you have any codecs installed? If you are using an old machine you mite not even have basic ones. What file types are u trying to view? Also have you tryed viewing them in differnt players? Also are you talking about films? or like 10 second clips?

Feendogg if you know you dont have any codecs try downloading xvid, divx, mpeg codecs. Unless you know a video uses a certain codec then downlaod that 1.

A brilliant way of finding out which codec you need to play a clip that isn't working is

It's very easy to understand and use :)
