WMP plays ONLY sound - no video

[Bob S.]

I recently installed XP Home, and WMP9. I got sound, but no picture
- it wouldn't play videos. I now have installed WMP11, with the same
result. Can anyone explain why I can't get video? My Real Player and
VLC player play videos with no problems. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks so much. All I needed was a codec (DIVX4), and thanks to you, I
downloaded it, and the problem is solved. Much Appreciated.
