Re-enable UAC and then re-install the codec pack. Disabling UAC can often cause weird problems.
If the above does not help, then the problem might be related to the User Account Control (UAC) functionality of Windows Vista/7/8. I am unable to play any files on Windows Vista even though I have all the proper codecs installedįirst use the Codec Tweak Tool to check for any possible problems. It should be able to play almost anything. This player doesn't use DirectShow filters to play files, but it's own plugins. If all fails, then try the VideoLAN player. For two reasons:ġ) It is better able to play certain files than other players. That can usually give you some useful information about the contents of the file.
Click on the shortcut called 'Reset to recommended settings' in the start menu.There may be a topic related to the file type that you are trying to play.
