You're missing the required codecs to play the video part of the video file.  Download DIVX player.  That'll be able to properly play almost any video file in WMM.

Download link:

I recommend the K-Lite-Codec-Pack. Easy to install and it works pretty well!

^^^I wouldn't.  That's the worst codec pack out there because they introduce pretty much EVERY codec they can find, regardless if it's stable or not.  This codec pack is MUCH better:

Hm, after I format my laptop, it works fine every time when I install it. :blink:  If you install the K-Lite-Codec Pack, you can choose which codecs you want to install. If you find a unstable codec, you don't have to install it. :D

Ah, but the trick is knowing which ones are stable and which are not.  I for one don't know which ones are stable because they change all the time.  I doubt anyone else here does either.  It's better to go with a certified codec pack that is backed by an actual company than some third party compilation of stable and unstable codecs like the k-lite codec pack.

Ok I have little good news......and......SOME TERRIBLE NEWS.

I'm pretty sure you guys are familiar this glitch ok I started a new AMV for my Youtube account (not sure if I wanted to post on it anyway) but I published the first beginning piece of the project to preview it.  

All of a sudden the Video had a Green screen glitch under the actual video and the video itself was Glitch right up  :anger  . This is probably one of Vista's Glitches but I am wondering if you guys know how to repair it?
