Someone went through the trouble to send me a CD with streaming video
movies. Nero doesn't show them because they first want money for a plug-in.
Windows media player opened the first file and said it had to download the
proper codec. I let it do what it wanted and restarted the program.
Now it opens the file and says "an unknown error has occured" with O/K as
the only option.

In setupmultimediavideo I see a whole list of installed codecs that Media
Player is not aware of or cannot use. What purpose they serve I do not know,
there is no other multimedia application on this machine. The player itself
has 3 other codecs that seem to be unsuitable for this job, but it does
diplay streaming video's from the internet.
I rebooted to XP and tried the MP there, but it has no drivers for my stone
age sound card and also refused to show the video clip.
