    Unable to play AVI files on Windows 10

    What codec does the Hallmark software use? Which Hallmark software? If they're using their own random codec, all clients viewing that content would need to have that associated codec.

    video codecs

    Hi,

    Unlike the desktop Windows Media Player on Windows Mobile does not support plugable codecs. So you cannot install codecs on Windows Mobile. Instead you look for video players that support the codecs you need.

    Does the OS need a codec pack?

    WMP plays m2t's on mine, but it may depend on exactly what they are. Do you get an error message?

    I did on win7, wmp. I have yet to try on win10.
    My win10 install is corrupted itself.

    I suggest you try to deal with the corruption.

    Have you tried
    1. First check your disk:
    Download and run Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) and make sure all disks are reported as good.
    If not, do not continue, and post back .

    2. Now check your file system:

    From an admin command or powershell prompt
    [Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
    chkdsk C: /F
    Your PC will need to restart.
    Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:
    Read Chkdsk Log in Event Viewer in Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials
    or

    or
    How do I see the results of a CHKDSK that ran on boot? - Ask Leo!
    Make sure the result is clear or fixed- else do not proceed.

    3. Then from an admin command prompt run
    SFC /SCANNOW
    and post the result.

    did the sfc came back ok
    Got a thread going here on some of my problems with it.
    When I booted win7, it did a chkdisk on it. Did not notice anything odd.
    I have has so much grief with it, not funny, one time it lost activation and MS tech had to fix it.
    Ever since it refused to let me go back to win7, nothing but a pain it has been.
    I installed win7 on seperate drive and it so smooth, perfect.
    This win10 was an upgrade from win7.
    After I installed win7, I noticed immediate huge boot speed up from before when I ran win7. so win 10 has inherited that grief with long boot times, and who knows what else too.
    .
    Another problem, mouse started not wanting to move, pause and start - Windows 10 Forums

    I tried that program, HD Sentinel, but it wont report info or do anything.
    I ran seatools generic long test and it passed
