.WMV files have sound but no video... confused.

[Quiksilver1850]

Okay, downloaded some movies of cars racing on a friends computer... Burnt them to a CD and brought them to my house. Uploaded them to my computer but when I try to view them, all I get is sound and the visualization, no video. I have Windows XP with WMP 8... the codec is supposed to be installed, nothing has been uninstalled on this computer yet... help please! Thanks!

Try updating your WMP to 9.0

if that doesn't work try looking for an mpeg2,4 & divx codecs, you can find them free by doing serches on google
