Inability to replay video/photo attachments following compression
Hello everybody,
I am hoping there is someone out there who can help me. When browsing through received Email video and photo attachments I noticed that there were a lot of them and when a window asking if I wanted to compress them appeared I clicked "Yes' thinking that this would speed up response times. However, since that action I can only view video and photo attachments received subsequently. These files are JPG files supported by Windows Media Player. On attempting to open files a window appears as follows: 'Has extension (.pps) not recognized by WMP but player may be able to run.' Clicking the 'Yes' option produces the following: 'WMP cannot play file. The player might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.' As I see it I have two options, namely: Decompress or find the correct codec. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do either and even wonder if they are the right options. Any and all help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Leonard H |
