Win Media Player / Video Clip Blocked

[smartin22]

So far now luck; I downloaded the codec files and verified player was set to download CODECs automatically. Where might I find setting to automatically updated certificates? Thx for your time and help; I appreciate it.

Go to player options and set the player to automatically update certificates and automatically search for missing codecs.

Problem solved. Basically had to find the right CODEC, which was found by searching for the publisher: sg726acm.cab

Correct site from which to download the CODEC is referenced below.

http://codecs.microsoft.com/codecs/i386/sg726acm.cab

Note: I had downloaded several CODECs before and they failed to resolve the problem until I found that above.

Thanks.

Dear 'smartin22':
I read your post 'Problem solved' but I couldn't find any details as to just how you installed the 'sg726acm.cab' codec which WMP 10 won't automatically install because it is not signed by Microsoft or is from an 'unknown publisher'.
Please tell me how to install it. I have downloaded the above codec from the link in your post but don't know what to do with it. I have received some video clips from a friend's digital camera that have an .asf extention which is supposed to be supported by Windows Media Player (WMP) but they won't play because the necessary codec isn't installed. Hope you can be of help and thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
McSlick
