Can someone help me get a codec for a video?

Question

Ive had so much trouble getting the right one. Can I transfer the file to someone and have them help me? I have the new windows media player and everything and I cannot figure it out. Anyone with Msn or aim? ANYTHING. Nothing has worked! D:

I don't know what you need, what's the file extension?

You can try XviD, it's my favorite codec, and it will likely work:

Otherwise, download VLC player and use it to watch or listen to the file, it will play almost anything you can throw at it:
