C00D10D1 Error

Hi,
I need assistance.
I am running Windows XP Pro (sp1) , WMP 10. I am trying to play a CD with a
MPEG1 file and get the error message "Error downloading Codec." One or more
codecs required to play the file could not be found. I have tried to launch
the video directly. I have checked to make sure that codecs are being
downloaded (weekly). I have checked for updates. I have re-installed DirectX.
Nothing has worked - still the same error message. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
Thanks!

Sounds like you installed some other MPEG decoding software that stomped on
WMP's codec... or that the file in question is actually MPEG2.
Does

Thanks for the response - I was told that this was a MPEG1 file and could be
viewed on any computer. This particular CD was mass produced for my company.
I have since found out that several other employees ((5) running Windows XP))
within the company get the same error message. We have tried numerous CD's
from that particular batch - same error message. What concerns me is that
this CD is to be sent to our customers. I will check out the MPEG2 possiblity.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again!

Without actually seeing the file, everybody else other than you is fairly
stymied. =)
From what you've said, sounds like it was actually an MPEG2 file...
otherwise no codec would be missing, since MPEG1 decoders ship in-box.

If it's *not* an MPEG2 file, post back. =)
