It sounds like your having a problem with the codec. A codec is required to encode and decode (play) audio and video files. If you download the K-Lite codec pack, which can be downloaded free. If you put a search in for it, you will find many download sites that you can get it from. I reckon that with their codecs installed, you will be able to play over 90% of downloaded video files.
Their homepage :
www.k-litecodecpack.com
Where I got it : www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm
Hope this helps.

For some reason, Windows Media Player doesn't seem to like having to play .avi videos. Try downloading .mpg, .mpeg. or .wmv instead.

replace living house windows Media participant or hit upon a clean Video Media participant. living house windows Media participant in reality performs particular kinds of Video Media, (.wav .mp3) there are a range of loose Media gamers on-line that you'll google for Goodluck guy!

I had the same problem, some people say delete limewire and download it again.
I can tell you that does NOT work.
Hope you find a solution.

Its all about having the right codec`s on your computer. The divx codec pack should sort the problem out.

It's probably a shite video. You usuall get then once. It depends on what video you have downloaded, if its a porno video shame on you.
