Hi bootlady,
Thank you for writing to Microsoft Answers Community Forums.
All codecs make some tradeoff between sound or video quality, file size, and compatibility with non-Microsoft playback programs and devices.
To ensure the Player can try to download codecs automatically, you must have Internet Explorer 3.02 or later installed on your computer, maintain Internet access while playing the file, and your Internet security should be set to Medium. In addition, if your computer is running Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003, you must be logged on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group. Finally, do the following:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
