Hey does anyone know where I can get codecs for Windows Media Player? I can't play any videos on it and it keeps popping up saying I need some stupid plug-in.

You have to find out what codec it's using, and download that. Maybe it says "DivX" or "MPEG-4"?

Download GSpot from http://www.free-codecs.com/download/GSpot.htm.

Open up a video file and it will tell you what codec you need for it.

Oh, one more thing about videos, does anyone know a good converter/player for the Palm Pilot? I know there is Kinoma but I have to buy the converter seperately. I have a Tungsten E.
