Default Windows Media Player 11

I have a question to ask.
Why is it that almost all windows media player products I download I always have trouble getting the audio portion to work.
I usually end up having to search for codecs. Damn this sucks.

Anyone using this without a problem?

Solution: If it's not broken, don't fix it.

There's nothing wrong with WMP 9 and 10,11 really don't offer anything worthwhile to upgrade to.

Most "media players" will need codecs added to them to play nonstandard things.

2000/xp

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/g...0.zip?download

its a 5 meg single exectuable..... should play all/most files as long you have the proper codec installed.

if youre missing codecs... download a codec pack (K-Lite codec pack, ace mega codec pack,etc)
