  Hi Rvkth,

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers.

  ·         Which program do you use to play videos?

   

  This error is related to corrupt or a missing file in codec. You may have to uninstall and reinstall the codec package.

  You may also search for 3^rd party codec using your favorite search engine.

  THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE DISCLAIMER: Using Third Party Software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Third Party Software can be solved. Using Third Party Software is at your own risk.

  "xvidcore.dll not found"
  
  COMSURGATE

  =======================================
  Might be worth a try to download and install the XviD Codec:
  
  (FWIW...it's always a good idea to create a System
  Restore point before installing software or updates)
