| | Cannot play many videos with Media Player Ever since I updated my laptop with 7 RC, I have not been able to play many types of video files. One example is this link: http://www.launchcomplexmodels.com/D...iter-246v2.mov I never had a problem playing video files under XP. If .mov is an unplayable file using Windows Media Player, what can I install that will allow me to play these types of files? Thanks. |

| | This could be because it's a video with the QuickTime codec and in the QuickTime format (*.mov). Try installing Apple QuickTime. Also, are you attempting to play this directly (ie: off your hard drive) or through your browser? If through a browser, you'd need the right browser plug-in for it. QuickTime will install both. |
