cannot play mpeg/mpg-files

[Guest]

hi!
I have a major problem with my media player or/and the rest of the XP! I
cannot play mpeg/mpg-files! When I try with Medi Player 10 i get the "error"
message, and that the program needs to close. Then I tried to play
mpeg/mpg-files in winamp and another media player but i got the same message!
The mediaplayer(& the other mediaplayers) can play avi & wma-files, but non
of them can play mpeg/mpg-files

anybody here who might know what the problem is and how to fix it?

You need a to get a program such as Cyberlink's PowerDVD.

Cyberlink's PowerDVD was one of the other media players...it didn't
work...any other tips?

 

[Kenneth J. Harris]

Is this a new problem? Did it used to play mpeg's and doesn't now or
did it never play them?

it has allways been possible to play mpeg-files until yesterday...the only
thing I did with the machine yesterday was to install Adobe Premier
Pro...This program can of course be the source of the problem, but i've taken
virusscans og diskcleanings and
un- and re-installed this program to check if this was the reason...

If you uninstalled Adobe Premier and it still won't play mpeg's try
looking here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/errors.aspx
Scroll through the whole thing and see if anything applies to your
problem. That's about all I can think of.

Try system restore to a point previous to installing adobe premiere.

Reinstall PowerDVD. Premiere may have installed a codec which is not
compatible with your system.
