Hi,
I have an 80MB mpeg on a memorex thumbdrive. The clip was taken off of an XP machine. I am trying to play it on a Win98SE machine, but it won't play. I have tried using WindowsMedia, RealOne, Winamp and Quicktime, but I get the same error message: "error downloading codec, class unregistered". I called Microsoft and the tech there had me download all of the latest codecs and upgrade WinMedia, but it still does not play (same error message). He suggested to try and burn it to cd off of XP and see if it plays on Win98 off the cd. I haven't gotten a chance to do that yet, but I just wanted to see if you guys had any other suggestions.
Thanks
Update! I burned the file to cd from XP, but it still won't play on Win98!! WTF It plays on any machine with XP, but won't play on any machine with Win98
