Hello! I just wanna know why I cant watch a movie on my windows media player?

watch a movie on my windows media player it plays but there is no picture but
there is sounds..

Do you know what can I do in order my media player to work properly like
before?

If DecCheck lists compatible DVD decoders, use it to choose a working
and WMP compatible decoder :

If it doesn't, you'll need a DVD decoder such as Elecard or Nvidia DVD
decoders, which are known to work well in WMP :

21 and 30 day free trials are available before they go "poof!" ;-)
