I downloded two programs:

1. By microsoft, which allows you to set your default codec for Media Player: Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility.

2. By interVideo, windvd trial version...

Open the microsoft utility and set the interVideo to the default.

You should be able to watch your tivo movies in Media Player 10... I can. WOOT

I installed the Tivo togo and can transerfer files.

I installed the intervideo codec and the micorsoft util to set it as preferred.

I have version 10 of the media player

But, the files still will not play – media player gives en error saying that the codec can not be found.

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Please feel free to copy replies to my email.

Thanks
