download a codec pack!!!

where do i get these codecs packs though thanks 4 the reply .............

Better yet just install codecs you need.
GSPOT is a great tool to find out what codec you need and if it is installed.

If bothered to search forum, you would have found a codec pinned guide found here:

Google can be a valuable tool as well:
