Unable to play WMV file

[eli2k]

Hi. I'm trying to view a WMV file but it only plays the audio. I installed the codecs from Microsoft's website but it still does not play. Do you have any clue what's happening?

Thanks.

(Simply a statement, not an assumption)
If it's an illicit download of a commercial movie, it's probably a fake...

No it isn't. I played it on another computer myself and it does show video.

By the way - it's a little trailer of FF12.

It probably requires the Windows Media Player 9 package...

Oh, darn. That mean I have to upgrade Windows Media Player, eh? Is there another way to view it without installing more microsoft junk?
