MOV files in Windows Media Player in Vista vs. XP

‎01-14-2009 12:29 PM

I can play Mov files, which are small videos taken on a digital camera, in Windows XP using Windows Media Player, but not in Vista. Any ideas are appreciated.

.mov files usually play in Quicktime or with their support.  Try installing the latest quicktime player.  If that fails, then you are probably missing the codec and there are several excellent codec packages available, the safest one coming directly from MS and there's also the Klite package.  Sorry but I can't provide the links right now.
