I can't view any of the new movies I've downloaded. Before M2Player used always work even when windows media player didn't. The Playa has never worked for me but now M2Player doesn't work either. I've downloaded MPG4 codecs and quicktime but nothing seems to work, can anybody help?

It might be that the files use the latest divx 5 codec. Right click on the files, and look at the properties of them. It says the type of codec (audio and video) that is used. Make sure you have them installed, and yuo should have no problems.

The other option is that you may not have the full file, and in the case of an avi it will not play. Download divfix from any divx website to solve this.
