Better yet, forget the avis and download only dvd-r! I gave up mpeg-4 a year ago and never looked back. dvd-r is far better picture quality, always ac3 sound, and needs *no* codecs to play.
Yes, it takes longer than a day to dl, but do several torrents at a time with and your movie collection will grow quickly.

I would rather rebuild and have a functional computer than deal with a corrupted program. Its like breaking your thumb and saying you still have 4 more fingers to use. This is the price I pay for downloading unknown codecs. I took the risk so I’ll just have to be more careful from now on. SCREW OGM FILES!! =( Nothing but AVI’s for now!!

Reformatting is an extreme measure just to get wmp to work. It is really not worth your trouble when you consider that MPC or Zoomplayer are far superior and less bloated applications (not to mention free). Unless you need it to play WM9 movies, but I doubt it since they don’t use codecs

I have the same problem as the first post. It wont play audio. I just gives me that stupid tag 55 crap. Ive tried all your theories. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled and renamed and everything and nothing is working. I deleted ALL my codecs and Ive made a new profile. Nothing fixes and nothing bypasses it. The only idea I was unable to do was the divx alpha 311. I went to roughly 20 websites that supposedly had it and, 18 of which were in french, and they ALL had dead links or I got redirected to some page that I think was an error page but I couldnt read it cause I only know english. And I could not find it at all on the divx webpage. If anybody has any more ideas or has a WORKING 311 webpage I could be directed to I would be much appreciated. If not, then I guess Im gonna have to reformat =(

I had installed a codec pack that corrupted both WMP AND DivX...

After uninstalling the pack, everything was back to normal....

(Friend told me to get them. Darn you LAN parties!)

Thanks again Weibe, your post was great.

I guess for others with codec errors, maybe think along the same lines. you’ll find an .acm file for each codec. Deleting the .acm file, and then reinstalling could be the solution. you should investigate what the correct acm file is first, and ensure you know how to reinstall the codec. not all will come from Microsoft, eg. for DivX you’ll need to run their installer again.

Aus.

whoever posted the message to delete the acm file - legend that fixed it for me.

got the tag one error

tried everything on this thread to the letter
have got some files to play sound but Avi and such still no sound in wmp9

any new ideas?

:-) :-) :-) GilmouR U r are a star!!!! Your solution was simple & worked first time ( I had tag 55 error after installing k-lite mego codec pack) - Thanks m8!
