MPEG Codec Problem in MediaPlayer

Hey guys, I am having trouble trying to download the right codec for playing MPEG files in Windows Media Player. I had thought that the application included most commonly-used codecs, save the DivX avi codec, which I DO have installed. But I get this error when I try to play certain MPEG video files. Not all of my MPEGs do this, only a few. The player attempts to automatically download a proper codec, but is never successful. When this happens, the player will still play the clip's audio, just no video. Is there a site where I can manually download a good MPEG codec? I dont need sites for that MPEG-4 Divx codec, I ALREADY HAVE THAT... Well, any advice would be greatly appreciated. E-Mail me or repost here, either one... Thanks folks... Eamonn
