missing codecs in WMP 10

I'm trying to play audio files through Windows Media Player 10 but keep
getting a message telling me it won't play as the required codecs are
missing. How do I know what codecs it needs and where will I get them? I've
tried reinstalling WMP 10 but that hasn't solved the problem.

This might help, but who knows. We updated to 10 and I cannot play any media
files on my profile. It will on my wife's so go figure. Here is a link for
the codec files

There exists a very handy program to show you what codec you need for a
mediafile(video or just sound) .the only thing you have to do is open a
mediafile with it and you know what codec you need. It is called Gspot and
you can download it here : http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ .
