Video File Only Playing Audio

[Carbo]

I was emailed a video file which I want to view. I'm trying to play in with Windows Media Player 11. But I'm not getting any video, just the audio content. Any ideas why?

try changing the acceleration setting, tools-options-performance, move the slider to none

Thanks, but that didn't make a difference. Any other suggestions?

You are likely missing the video codec that is needed. What kind of video is it?

You could just install the Combined Community Codec Pack and it will probably work.
