Unable to play .FLV files using Windows Media Player

I installed the Standard version of K-Lite and i'm able to play all other video formats expect .FLV

The error i get is this "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

It's weird because when i use a program named "FLVProPlayer" it plays the video fine....is there something i need to change in the laptop's settings or what?

All advice is appreciated!!

Seems like a file access permissions issue. Right-click on the file, go to Properties > Security, and verify that you have read access.

Yes, i do have access. I'm also an Administrator, could there be something wrong with my windows media player?


Thanks for the speedy reply!

No, it is very unlikely that it is a problem with WMP.

Maybe you got some weird codec installed. Post this information, so I can check.

I don't see any "Unblock"Security in the General Tab :/

Copy/paste the error message (with quotes around it) in Google and you can find more possible causes and solutions.

Alright thanks
