0xc101008f (0xc00d5212) wmv codec is missing in windows 8 Please help me resolve this question. I can play a windows media file on my old windows 7 computer but now that I have a new windows 8 machine the windows media player on my new computer says it can't play the video because of the codec. Please see: Move up from Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro. Method 1: Updating the Graphics Drivers. Press the Windows + R keys, type devmgmt.msc and click OK.This opens up the Device Management Console. Device Manager, expand the Display adapters, right-click on your graphics adapter under this category and click Uninstall and check Delete the driver software for this device, and then OK to remove the drivers.
A codec (short for coder-decoder or compressor-decompressor) is a small program that converts data from one form to another.Unfortunately, filename extensions don’t tell the whole codec story. For example, WMA files can have a WMA 7, WMA 9.2 or WMA 10 format. It’s up to Windows Media Player (or Winamp, which also plays WMA files) to look inside the file and decide which format was used to create the file. After the determination has been made, WMP (or Winamp) hauls in the right codec to decipher the file. You don’t need to lift a finger.Sometimes, though, Windows Media Player doesn’t have the correct codec on hand to play a particular file. For example, AVI is a popular file format that can be created using a particular kind of video-encoding technique called DivX.

Although DivX files are gaining in popularity, Windows Media Player still doesn’t include its codec. So, in order to play a file using this format, you need to install a new codec.
