Internet Videos will not play on Windows Media Player 11 for Vista?

August 28th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Like the title says. Instead, when I click on a video, it brings up a pop-up to download the video, saying “the file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupted or has an incorrect file type”.

I had this problem before, after downloading the VLC player, I deleted it and it has worked fine since until now…for no apparent reason.

Note: I dont intend on downloading any new player. Please tell me how to fix WMP only

      Nearly all players need extra codecs to play certain file types.
      When you install Gomplayer, you do not need to do that.
      Gomplayer has its own codecs and therefore plays anything you want.
