Guest DrGaryG Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I need a codec to operate my windows media. I can't download. this. I have been around and around with Microsoft people on this and they sent me MGADiag.exe with i caCn't open. I get this message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You mayk not have appropriate permissions to access the item." But Microsoft sent it to me. They say my problem is not with them, but with Dell. My warranty with Dell has expired.

I am no puter expert at all; I simply eschewed WMP & all the codecs & whiny messages, & installed VLC Media Player, which can handle most stuff w/ no problems: http://www.download.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10717934.html?tag=lst-0-1
