Hi. Why am I getting this ClassFactory error? If I need a codec, then
which one do I need? This was with a MPEG video file.

Unable to download an appropriate decompressor. (Error=80040200)

I'm thinking you may need an mpeg-2 decoder. But before going that route,
have you tried playing the file in mplayer2 to see if it works? For more

Chris, I tried both mplayer2.exe (v6.4) and Windows Media Player v7.0
(mplayer.exe). I forgot to mention that this was in Windows 2000 SP3
(IE6.0 SP1 and all updates). Where can I get that decoder?

Thank you in advance. :)
