I can't get Real Play and Windows Media to play... but the audio works...

[Primex]

Ok, I was given a file from a friend to play on my lap but for some reason only the audio plays. Is there something that I need to download for the video to play right? Whenever I open it with Windows Media or Real Player it's just a black screen.

i think you need the codec thing, because that's happened to me also. like it's a video, but it plays as a audio file.

Try opening it with DivX player. 99% certain that should sort it out as ive seen this many times.
