In answer to the recent answer, No unfortunetly I can't use Windows Media Player,because my songs skip so I had to use WinAmp.I have the software "RocketPro" and they gave me a codec package to download with it,but maybe it doesn't work with Winamp.Purhaps I can find something on-line. Thankyou everyone! Cujo.

Hmmm, if you are using Windows Media Player, it is very likely a codec problem. I have had the exact same thing even when I thought I had most of the codecs installed. Then I got my hands on the "Ace Mega Codecs Pack" and everything has run smooth since.
If its not Windows Media u are using then sorry, I have no idea. Good luck.

Ah. I used to have this problem a lot with my old computer. My problem was that my computer didn't have the video capibilities, and that I was also opening the video in a program that I shouldn't have been.
Try checking the size of the video vs. your video card to see if your computer can handle it. Also try uploading it to the web to see if you can see it there. Go to My Documents--->My Pictures--->click the movie. If your computer is like mine, it should start to play in there. OR, open in Windows Media Player.
If all this fails, the video code is probably broken.
