	The symptom associated with a missing codec is Windows Media Player displaying the cryptic "C00D11CD" error code immediately after opening an MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 coded file or stream. At that point, you must purchase the appropriate codec, perhaps from Microsoft's® [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx list of approved vendors].
