Download that, and if it doesn't work (and its not a.rm in which case you'll need Real Media or a .flv which needs a flash player) try either converting the file (i'll PM u with some convert software) or maybe fileext.com

Do you have windows media player? Well if you do, download the clip and try to play it. Once Windows player is up the clips name should be shown in the left. If your missing a codec to play it, it should be orange or something like that. Right click it and there should be some type of topic that allows to find out which codec your missing so you can go find it and then download it.

You're most likely trying to play an .avi file, so go to www.divx.com and download that codec. (You do not need the player or the converter, just install the codec when it prompts you). It's a free download.
Let us know if that helps. In the meantime...

ACtually, you can fix this quite easily by downloading a codec called "FFDshow"
It just comes with every codec package that's widely availble.
Linkey: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow

All of you.. shame.
The easiest solution is to just get something has *almost* every kind of codec possible (within reason of course)..
The only media player that has almost all codecs is the infamous 'VLC' or VideoLan Player. Just Google it, and download VLC. Install it, and open the file with VLC. It supports almost ALL media codecs. If WMP or DivX or any other player won't work.. chances are that VLC will.
(It supports the most codecs of any media player, with just the normal install.. of course, you can always add 'new' codecs later, like when a new mp5 codec comes along.. xD)

VLC >>>>>> ALL other media players >>>>>> WMP >>> Quicktime
