I got some video files containing the wmv3 codec but I can't play them with Windows Media Player 10. Isn't it sad? media player can't use media player codecs. I tried reinstalling wmp 10 but no changes. I downloaded the wmp7+ codecs and installed them but still no changes. Real Player, divX player and BSPlayer can't read them either. I have no idea what to do next except getting medieval on Bill Gate's a**.

Why do they have to use that many different codecs and create new ones every day when the old codecs work just fine...

Oh well, I hope anybody can help me.
