When I double click on a wmv file to open media player to play the video.
It only have sound. Is there any function I forgot to turn on? Thanks.
 
Hmm... sounds like you might need codecs installing. I had some troubles
with videos, mainly .wmv and .avi files, so I downloaded and installed
DivX - everything works great since that.

Because the codecs are used to decode video and play on pc , the sound is
decoded by windows.Like a mp3....you don't need codecs to play music
 
And he needs DivX video codecs - remember Windows XP couldn't play certain
file types without a third party DVD codec pack :o)

As mentioned before, you'll probably need additional video codecs.
I'd recommend the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, which will satisfy every
Video/Audio-Codec need :-)
www.codecguide.com

There's also a WindowsMedia-CodecPack for those who don't have WMP installed
(eg. for the Windows N edition) :-)
