C00D109B ERROR

I got a CD from relatives with an MPEG file on it.

I tried too open it in Microsoft's Windows Media Player. But it gave this error:

Clicking on this this Web Help button brought me to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/webhelp/default.aspx?&id=C00D109B
which didn't do a lick of good. According to Microsoft:
If you have the latest version of Windows Media Player installed, the latest Windows Media audio and video codecs are included so you can play Windows Media filesWindows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV). If you have an older version of the Player, its codecs may not be up-to-date. To acquire the latest codecs, just set up the Player to download the codecs automatically by doing the following:
  1. In the Player, on the Tools tab, click Options.
  2. On the Player tab, select the Download codecs automatically check box.
Click to expand...

Yeah, well that is a lie. I have all this and I have done all this. It does not automatically go out and get the latest codex.

Has anyone gotten this problem fixed?
 
I think you're referring to "codecs". You should find out what codec was used to create the video. It's probably some 3rd party, little known codec, that's not available for download. G-spot is an example of freeware that should tell you the codec needed.
 
You might want to try VLC media player. It has most common codecs built in.
