Solve : Why can't I open any camera video clips.......?

Answer»

I have camera video clips saved on my computer that I always USE to beable to open, now none of them will open. I click on the video clip, a file download box comes up, reads, Name: Movie.wmv, Type: Unknown File Type. I click run, then a Windows box comes up and reads, Windows can not open this file Movie.wmv. This never happened before, they always opened. I tried opening them in other ways, Quick Time, Windows media Player, nothing. I had a Vundo Trojan one time a had to delete alot of things to get rid of it, could I have deleted something that I need to open these VIDEOS? Thanks......Try PLAYING the files with VLC Media Player:

Try VLC player as suggested above. It's the best standalone player.

Otherwise get FFDshow and media player classic, and install those.

Or just reinstall the codecs instead of having many many media players...Try this :http://www.codecguide.com/about_mega.htm
This will install a package of codec an make you able to play most of video format

p.s. You don't need to install media player classic but for me is way better than windows media player
Also add the SYSTEM restore check point during the install. Just for a saveOk, I installed FFDshow and the videos still won't open. I still get that error box, "Windows does not recognize this type of file"What's the file extension ? ?

XYZ.___ ? ?And what happened with VLC media player?The file extension is WMV, and I didn't install VLC media player yet, just installed the package of codecTry VLCand now, for some reason on the tenth reply-

What OS?
