Yahoo Browser uses Internet Explorer and Launchcast Radio uses Windows Media Player.

I keep Windows Media Player and Fax Viewer because it works when I don’t need to Edit.
I see no Value in changing to Quick Time, Real Time, or any other, so why will some Vids not play unless I download.
I just tried to play a Legit Stevie Ray Vaughan Vid in my PC’s DVD Drive/Player and It won’t play because I need another Codec.
This is getting frustrating because the list of Codecs has become to long giving me headaches.
I use Great Photo Editing Software for instances when it is needed, but my my Basic Needs are met by windows.
Why does Real Player and Quicktime Install itself without my permission and try to be default.
Frustrating, but I searched for the required Codec (Don’t Remember Exact Site), it would have cost me $9.95.
This DVD works in basic home DVD Player, but not in newer Toshiba SD-R installed on my system.

I take care of my daughter during the day and record videos from my webcam to send to mom. She receives them in a .avi format and plays them on Windows Media Player, or at least tries to. She can hear the audio but can’t see the video which defeats the purpose of sending my videos. Does she need to install a “codec” on her Windows XP machine? Can you point me in the right direction, i.e. Link to download correct software? I don’t believe the webcam can record in any other format.

Have access to MAC software, MacTheRipper and Toast 7 and PC’s Windows Media Player 10.

I want to create a Media Centre in my living room — would like some help with respect to what PC + other equipment I should buy and what types of software I should use in order to create a cool media center (e.g. to watch/record TV, browse internet, listen to music, look at photos etc)
