02br 00I would also advise disabling any auto update or codec download features, in either of these Microsoft programs. 02br 00You may also need to manually update your codecs, as your problem is almost certainly codec oriented. You can load K-lite Codec pack from here 05002br 00If all this fails, try a player called VLC.
